Single tickets will run you $25 or $35 dollars (depending on when you purchase) and that buys you access to an open bar from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., and a champagne toast at midnight. That same deal is available for couples at $40 or $60. You could also bring along five friends and spring for the Six is a Perfect Number table deal. The price on that one is $400, but you get everything mentioned about plus a bottle of premium liquor and a bottle of bubbly. Taxes and gratuity are not included. 9 p.m. to 4 a.m.

RedRocks (1348 H St.) plans to keep the celebration going until 4 a.m. with three levels of fun, and DJ Farrah Flosset and friends hard at work. Tickets are $75 ($120 for a couple) and that gets you open bar and a buffet from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. The dress code is black tie, but creativity is encouraged.
