Families and friends will soon be gathering over a turkey dinner complete with all the stuffing, potatoes, and selections of pie our tummies could only imagine. Conversations of the past year and upcoming plans for 2013 will frequent discussions over the holiday feast along with questions inquiring possible New Year’s Eve plans. This year, there will be no need to discuss and plan. Hotel Alex Johnson, the premier Rapid City hotel, has the perfect evening arranged to welcome 2013.

Acknowledging the closure of 2012 while welcoming 2013 will be celebrated with a bang this year. Fireworks originally scheduled for the Fourth of July (unfortunately cancelled due to the fire ban) will be displayed on New Year’s Eve at 7pm. Be a part of the festive downtown Rapid City celebration in the historic Hotel Alex Johnson, offering great views from the Vertex Sky Bar. Our packages include a stay in one of our classic hotel rooms ensuring you will have a comfortable place to rest yourself after a night of fun.
