TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - If you don't have plans for New Year's Eve, there are still options available. There's plenty of things to keep you busy at Hotel Congress tomorrow night.

Their Prohibition era event is helping guests party into 2016 like it's 1933. Fully equipped with a photo booth, costumes and even an old fashioned whiskey barrel, Hotel Congress is celebrating New Year's like never before. 
 
"We have a giant surprise at midnight happening that I can't tell anyone about," said entertainment director David Slutez.  "This year we're actually sneaking people through the basement of the hotel as part of a speakeasy look. We've never done anything like that before. It's gonna sort-of be a cross between Halloween and New Year's all wrapped up into one."
 
If that's not your scene, you can head across the street to the Rialto Theatre for a glow-in-the-dark dance party with local headlining artists and a desert-themed black light room. 
 
"Last year, it was really cool," said Kris Kerry. "All the lights were kind of neat, and there were times where it was nothing but black light and everyone was walking around and kind of glowing.  It was really fun."
 
 Speakeasy tickets at Congressand entry for the Rialto can be purchased in advance. Other parties going on include more live preformances at R Bar, and The Flycatcher.
 
If you're not sick of Star Wars just yet, the Surly Wench on 4th Avenue is throwing a Force Awakens dance party. Country fans can head over to Club XS on Speedway for a southern-style New Years.
