Metro Police reported three arrests within the Strip corridor as of 11:30 p.m., two of which for domestic violence.

Police also reported a firearm being found near Las Vegas Boulevard and Circus Circus Drive. No injuries were reported and a person was taken into custody.

Over at downtown Las Vegas' Fremont Street Experience, ten misdemeanor arrests were made.

Five arrests were also made of people driving under the influence.

Clark County workers set up 4,000 metal barricades along the Las Vegas Strip and street cleaners are scheduled to start cleaning up after the party beginning about 1:30 a.m., depending on when the revelers have been cleared.

The street cleaners will begin on the south end of the Strip and work their way north.
