Overland Park Marriott To Host "The Greatest New Year's Eve Party in Kansas City"

The all-inclusive package, which costs only $199*, includes appetizers, provided by the new restaurant Epicure, a drink wrist band and a champagne toast. Entertainment includes a video DJ and GoGo dancers and the hotel will keep the pool and hot tub open until 2am for more fun after the party.

"Whether you are an out of town visitor or a Kansas City local wanting to spend a fun night out with friends, we hope you'll take advantage of this great offer and spend New Year's Eve with us," said Shawn Cummins, the hotel's general manager.

The Overland Park Marriott recently became home to the first "M.I. Greatroom" in Kansas and is among a small number of suburban hotels to introduce the concept. Party-goers at "The Greatest New Year's Eve Party in Kansas City" will be among the first to enjoy this $20 million modernization of the hotel's exterior and guest environment. As always, guests can take advantage of the complimentary WiFi and the extensive customer services available.

The New Year's Eve package is based on availability so interested guests should visit overlandparkmarriott.com to reserve. Other restrictions also apply.*
