New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, but it’s not too late to finalize last-minute party plans to say goodbye to 2014. Those in the Chicago area (or those who are willing to travel for a good soirée) should plan on ringing in 2015 at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago. The hotel will be partnering with Playboy for a New Year’s Eve Gala and will have live entertainment from Hello Weekend and DJ Crystal Ellis. There will also be Playboy Masquerade Lounge hosted by 2013 Playmate of the Year, Raquel Pomplun, and Miss October 2013, Carly Lauren. Guests can also participate in the Playboy Treasure Hunt to win a weekend stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Penthouse and a Playboy swag bag.

Those wanting to stay at the Hard Rock rather than trying to catch a cab (on New Year’s Even no less) back to their hotel can take advantage of the discounted room rates offered when coupled with event tickets. Offering amazing views right in the middle of the city’s downtown cultural hub with accommodations and services that bring in musicians, actors and A-list celebrities, the property is the perfect place to sleep off your wild night and grab a little “hair of the dog” to cure your hangover the next morning.

Hard Rock Hotel’s New Year’s Eve Gala is Wednesday December 31, with tickets priced from $140-$450.
