Times Square New Year’s Eve ball unveiled with new bowtie design
A new lighting display pattern for the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball was unveiled Wednesday atop One Times Square, just days before the iconic celebration.
This year’s celebratory design features a bowtie pattern created in partnership with Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the globally anticipated luxury resort and casino that opened on the Las Vegas Strip earlier this month.
It is a tribute to when Times Square used to be known as “The Bowtie.”
The New Year’s Eve Ball is a geodesic sphere, 12 feet in diameter, and weighs 11,875 pounds. The Ball is covered with a total of 2,688 crystal triangles that vary in size, and range in length from 4 3/4 inches to 5 3/4 inches per side.
