Outrageous New Year's Eve vacation rentals

Villa Contenta, Miami, Florida This property is a little more on the pricey side at $22,000 a night. But its secluded location on the exclusive Palm Island near South Beach makes this a perfect hideaway. Amenities include a private dock, an alfresco dining terrace, and its own volleyball court. There are four-bedrooms in the main house and two more in the guesthouse --which allows for plenty of space for friends. (TripAdvisor)

Spanish Mansion, Las Vegas, Nevada Okay, we know that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but at $1,750 a night, this luxe property only minutes from the Strip is too good of a bargain to keep quiet about. This Spanish-style oasis sleeps 30 people (wow) and even has its own private 3-hole golf course. (TripAdvisor)

Starwood Estate, Aspen, Colorado Spend the last day of 2012 nestled among the High Rockies in style. This seven-bedroom villa has an indoor pool and steam room, a private theater, and even a mountain-view bar perfect for a toast as the clock strikes midnight. Average nightly rate is $5,000.

Wailea Alii, Maui, Hawaii Say “aloha” to 2013 right. This tropical retreat features a lushly landscaped courtyard with a 52-foot lap pool, and direct access to miles of beachfront walking paths and expansive ocean views. Average nightly rate is $10,000. (TripAdvisor)

Bel Air Hills, Los Angeles, California This is another property on the surprisingly affordable list. At about $3,500 a night, there is a 1,000 square-foot great room with panoramic views of the city and surrounding hills. If the in-crowd starts to crowd your space, an additional 2,500 sq ft patio gives renters the option to take the party outside. (TripAdvisor)
