At the brand new Hyde nightclub in Vegas' Bellagio hotel, special guest for the evening, Sophia Vergara, best known for her role as Gloria on TV sitcom Modern Family, arrived at the lounge looking stunning in a white, shimmering dress. When asked about her New Year’s Eve at Hyde, Sophia replied, “I’m very excited … I was a fan of Hyde in Los Angeles, so I’m sure [Hyde] in Vegas is going to be even more fabulous.”

Welcoming the New Year at Hyde Bellagio were Wilmer Valderrama, Joe Jonas, Leona Lewis, Eliza Dushku, Emile Hirsch, Lauren Conrad, Stephanie Pratt, Eric Stonestreet, Amber Lancaster and Lakers basketball player Rick Fox, among others.

Guests settled into their plush VIP tables as models in cellophane dresses posed around them holding celebratory New Year’s balloons. Songs like Tyga’s “Rack City” and Drake’s “Take Care,” featuring Rihanna, had clubgoers on their feet dancing and raising their glasses to a successful 2011.

Vergara pumped up the crowd as she counted down the remaining seconds of 2011. As the clock struck midnight, the iconic Fountains of Bellagio sprayed high above the Las Vegas Strip and gold and silver balloons filled with $100 bills fell from the ceiling. Throughout the venue, guests cheered, toasted and kissed to the year ahead.
