Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Police say they'll be strictly enforcing city and county ordinances to keep things under control this New Year's Eve.

Those heading to the Strip or downtown for New Year's Eve are asked not to carry large backpacks or bags, and not to have metal or glass containers.

Authorities are also reminding people that "celebratory gunfire" is dangerous and illegal. Anyone that shoots a gun in the air is subject to arrest.

The curfew for children under 18 without a parent or guardian begins at 9 p.m. on December 31 and extends until 5 a.m. on New Year's Day.
