Several notorious DJs and The Black Keys made it a New Year’s Eve weekend to remember at the Hard Rock Hotel on Saturday, Dec. 29, and Sunday, Dec. 30.

The party started at the newly opened Body English on Dec. 29 with Richard Beynon, followed by M83 and Black Boots. The next day, “Jersey Shore” stud DJ Pauly D had the spotlight at Vanity, while Drop the Lime was at Body English.

Grammy winners The Black Keys headlined at The Joint on Dec. 30 and NYE, and their set list included “Howling for You,” “Next Girl,” “Lonely Boy” and “Everlasting Light.”

Las Vegas band Moksha and Spafford performed at Vinyl. Thanks to contributing photographers Erik Kabik and Hew Burney for their photo gallery.
