New Year's Eve at Westgate In Glendale, AZ

Voodoo Daddy to rock Westgate on New Year's Eve in Glendale, AZ

There'll be a swingin' time on New Year's Eve at Westgate City Center in Glendale, AZ. Organizers expect 10,000 people to pack the shopping and entertainment center for Westgate Rocks New Years Eve.

"More people know we are out here now," says Jeff Hecht, marketing director for Ellman Co., who manages the outdoor entertainment center. "Westgate is a household name now. Last year, we had only been open for a month and a half when we held the block party."

WaterDance Plaza will be transformed into a giant dance floor and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will serve up hot swing hits like Go Daddy Go. You can even enjoy a chilly martini courtesy of a 23-foot martini luge.

Also appearing will be Times Square personality the Naked Cowboy.

"He's an icon, appearing in music videos and commercials. He runs around Times Square in boxers and a cowboy hat singing songs. We're really excited to have him because we like to think of this as 'Times Square in the Desert,' " says Hecht.

The 21-and-over event runs from 5 p.m. through 2 a.m., and tickets, at $20, are available at www.westgateaz.com.

For the ultra-hip, there are three VIP lounges as well, with prices ranging from $125 to $200.

And even if you are under 21, you can still have fun - all of the restaurants and shops in Westgate will still be open.
