The band was so much fun we danced all night long. My boyfriend and I got there quite early and seemingly avoided the long drink lines. The countdown balloon drop at midnight didn't happen till close to a quarter after, kind of odd. Still a fun night.

The NYE Gala was fun. I really like the opera house but I was disappointed that the NYE Gala was held in the hallways and stairwells not the actual opera house and stage. I was also very annoyed with the staff not knowing where the bathrooms were. I asked several people and was given vague answers and IDK's. The VIP did not seem worth it. It was just more hallways and a boring table on the 2nd or 3rd floor. The speakeasy was not VIP exclusive like I thought it was going to be. (All of which was great for me because I didn't pay for the VIP) And $5 water bottles? Come on.

The White Rose Gala was amazing. It was so much fun gathering our costumes and getting ready. We were thrilled to see all the entertainment. Everything from dancers, musicians, to circus type performers. We never had to wait in line at the bar. There was even a speakeasy in the basement. This is hands down the best New Year's Eve Party I have ever been too. And I have been to a lot over the years. A must Denver event.

+1
This party is the one in Denver! Everyone dresses up and looks classy. A huge benefit, we rented a hotel across the street and had no midnight taxi's or Uber's. The entertainment is the best in Denver and is on multiple floors so you can find your groove and mix it up throughout the evening. Multiple photo background options and photo booths with free photo delivery. We'll be back again.
