Good Morning, Las Vegas: What to know ahead of your New Year's Eve celebrations

KTNV — Good Morning, Las Vegas.

Happy New Year's Eve. Our Good Morning Las Vegas team has everything you need to know as we get ready to say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026.

If your plans involve heading to the Strip or Fremont Street, Hailey Gravitt will help you get around the road closures and share some important safety reminders.

Anyssa Bohanan breaks down some new state laws that will take effect in the new year.

But first, we want to get right to the weather because all eyes will be on the skies for more than one reason tonight.

We have climbing chances of rain as the afternoon goes on, meaning we could see some light rain today.

Some breaks are expected, so we are hoping that any of your New Year's Eve celebrations aren't washed out.
