New Year's Eve sets the tone for the year to come - how will you spend your night? If you're one of the chosen locals attending the ultra-exclusive White Party, you're in for a night that will take you decades to forget.

The White Party is a San Diego New Year's Eve event dedicated to those that enjoy the finer things in life - with an exotic edge. San Diego, if you dare, prepare to enjoy the Ferrari of New Year's Eve parties in San Diego.

Envision: sleek white interior, hot, young socialite crowd, hosted top shelf bars, epicurean tastes and treats, lavish party favors, and the most enticing entertainment to hit the Gaslamp Quarter yet.

The White Party is guaranteed to be the most posh New Year's Eve party in San Diego. A brand-new multilevel all-white venue, the top party-planners, and renowned entertainers collaborate to deliver a new era of San Diego nightlife in 2008.

Exclusive partygoers will be the first to preview the 10,000 square foot bi-level venue draped in white luxe, except for exposed brick illuminated by artic blue lighting effects. The premier venue is the future home of The Keating Hotel's newest venture, The Merk restaurant, set to open in early 2008.

Your ticket to White gives you access to three premium hosted bars all night long, a midnight flavored kiss, a celebratory champagne toast, and thankfully, a gift bag including a VIP hangover kit. And don't even think about waiting in line for anything at this event; eleven professionally trained bartenders will be on hand to make sure your cup never runs dry.

Lounge on white leather furniture, designed exclusively for the event, while you take in a chic crowd of the up and coming who's who in San Diego. Providing the soundtrack of the evening are three of the most sought-after DJs around: Jon Sautter, Michael Benoit, and Effren Villan. Best of all, White is one of the only San Diego New Year's Eve party goin' off in the Gaslamp with an after-hours permit. In other words, this party won't stop until 4am.

White will showcase a 2007 highlights recap and a digital ball drop at midnight, while elevated artic dancers seduce the crowd into 2008. Step outside to catch your breath on the heated outdoor patio and take advantage of the romantic moonlit sky. Gourmet hors d'oeuvres will be served during the event, and The Keating Hotel's Urban Pizza will be selling delicious personal pan pizzas on-site for partiers longing for more filling fare.

For those seeking the ultimate way to ring in the New Year in San Diego, we suggest upgrading your ticket to VIP. The VIP class will gain exclusive access to the White Ultra Lounge with a private hosted bar, European bottle service, and much more. The alluring highlight of the Ultra Lounge is the private body painting show, presented by Rick Bliss. Models will undress and transform into live art right before your very eyes.

Perhaps one of the most unique aspects about the White Party is its dedication to providing an intimate partying experience by limiting the guest list to haute in-the-know VIPs - only 300 tickets will be made available to the public. No long lines, no waiting for a bartender's attention, and no feeling lost in the crowd. White is the only place to for San Diego nightlife enthusiasts to usher in 2008 in style.

Wear your finest cocktail attire, but don't worry about wearing white - as it is not required.

Presale standard admission tickets are $200 and VIP admissions are selling for $300. After December 15, 2007, ticket prices will increase.

A limited number of table service packages will be offered for those who demand the best treatment for New Year's Eve in San Diego. The package includes six VIP tickets, two bottles of premium liquor, two bottles of champagne, all mixers, and European-style bottle service - so you never have to lift a finger. The table service packages start at $2,500, and will sell out quick.
