Sounds like you're fully locked and loaded to get your New Year's Eve freak on, except you need some off-the-chain parties and places to peep. Fear not, funky Phoenicians, because we've got the lowdown on all the hoedowns going down around the M.C. (that's Maricopa County, fool) on Sunday, December 31.
It's fitting that '007 is nearly upon us, since we're making like Q and equipping you with the 411 on some swanky soirees and posh parties. You may not be as debonair as Sean Connery or as stacked as Pussy Galore, but you can still kick it like James Bond did in Casino Royale, whether it's slinging poker chips or wooing hotties. But if you imbibe one too many vodka martinis (natch) while on Her Majesty's secret service, forgo the Aston Martin for a cab, 'cause we'd rather you die another day.
