Since I went to TIC-LA in August also, guess a comparison between these two TIC events would be good:
- Got there around 9 p.m., expecting mile-long lines and massive security like there was for TIC-LA. It was raining, windy and cold, but was so incredibly easy to walk from my hotel room in the Orleans right down the hallway into the Arena, never had to go outside! Then just showed my ticket and was inside in seconds. Was much more crowded inside at that time, probably since thousands of fans weren't waiting outsided to get in like in LA.
- The bars never close! I love Las Vegas!  Any drink ordered with Red Bull was $5 more though, but they did give you the rest of the can...was a real effort trying to carry two drinks and two cans of Red Bull up and around the steps to the stadium seating area...and I was still sober then! I say that we legalize gambling in California, eliminated income taxes, and learn from what Sin City does best!! 
- Never waited in line for the restroom more than a minute. I had VIP tix for TIC-LA, so didn't have any problem there, but heard that restroom lines were long at the Sports Arena.
- Tiesto played an amazing set, as I expected. I don't think he played his new track "Music on My Mind," which was a good thing if you've heard it. If he did play it, then it must have been a much better remix than the original! The rest of the show was very similar to TIC-LA, though Tiesto's tracklist was different.
- Half the dance floor was VIP and the Arena (floor) was almost completely packed. I'm guessing that almost 8,000 people showed up?
- Since the floor was divided into two (VIP left, GA right), was difficult to get up front. I once got two people away from the stage, only to find out that no camera pictures would come out there due to this blue light machine that shined into the lens every other second! 
- The NYE countdown was done on the screen, digital display with minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Big burst of fire at midnight, but the real surprise was the blizzard of confetti released near the end of the night! Never seen so much confetti, it was coming down for several minutes!
- As mentioned, Tijs closed his set with the encore song G&D "MindCircus." PVD also ended his set with "MindCircus" the night before. The world's #1 and #2 DJ's end their sets with the same song...I see some symbolism here, maybe Tiesto paying respect to the DJ who was finally voted above him this year? I think Paul played the original and Tiesto a remix though. After that, the crowd was chanting "one more," but I knew there wouldn't be..."could I please have some silence, could I please have some space" - nothing can follow that, except the obvious!

Those 2 were typical club sets like we see weekend after weekend 
Tiësto was a full arena spectacle seen only a couple of times a year 
Judge Jules wasn't anywhere as good as he last was in Spundae (L.A.)'s main room
