Get out your noisemakers and silly hats, New Year's Eve is just around the corner. You either love it or hate, it, but let’s get real, you know when it comes down to it, no matter how much you resist, you're going to end up doing something on the last night of 2011.

Now, you could hit up that house party in town and hope the girl you've been eying runs up to you for a smooch when the big hand is on the little hand at midnight, or you can be smart and knock her socks off by taking her to one of the hottest parties in the country. What do you have to lose? After all, if the Mayans are right, it'll be your last NYE on earth anyway. So saddle up, take a stand against "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve" and let this handy MTV News' guide to an EDM infused NYE be your beacon for beats.

NEW YORK

>>> Avicii at Pier 94
Selling out in less than an hour, EDM’s hottest rising star is taking over Pier 94 with support from Arty and Swanky Tunes for a once in a lifetime riverfront bash -- and the party continues into New Year's Day as Boris and Victor Calderone keep it thumping with Apocalypse 2012. Whichever your pleasure, 15,000 crazed fans in a 135,000-square foot structure with a zillion big ass speakers? Sign us up! (Note: a little birdie tells us more tickets are being released very soon!)

>>> Deadmau5 at Pier 36
Maybe it’s "Pier Pressure," but our favorite Canadian is taking his sight and sound spectacular to Gotham in similar fashion, and knowing the visual effects package he rolls with we're sure this won't be anything short of awesome. Don’t be surprised if you see Lady Liberty sporting a Mau5head for the night.

LOS ANGELES — The "Miley-Sized Surprise" New Year's eve show is officially wrapped — and it was spectacular! Right now, it's Wednesday night and I’m in a car on my way to LAX to catch the red-eye flight back to NYC in time to host the "Engaged and Underaged: The Bridal Bowl Special" special for MTV. I had a lot of fun today with Miley Cyrus, the kids of Beckman High School in Irvine, California, and of course the real star of the show: Alison Kaprielian. The entire show was centered around Alison, whose mother was sadly diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. As well as juggling her school work, her social life and supporting her mother through her treatment, Alison volunteered for the Pink Ribbon Club, an organization targeted at teens that raises money for and spreads awareness of the fight against breast cancer. Alison also happens to be one of the biggest Miley fans ever, so when Miley turned up at her house unexpectedly this morning for an intimate and impromptu performance in her kitchen — Alison was overwhelmed, to say the least!

It didn't stop there. Miley surprised Alison throughout the day with makeovers for her and her mother, and recorded one of those famous YouTube videos with her and Miley's best friend Mandy Jiroux. We also flew in Alison's best friend from Georgia, threw a monster surprise party in Alison's honor and invited the entire high school for the huge Miley performance that closed out the night. And Pepsi made a big donation to the Pink Ribbon Club. It was really an amazing night — Alison and her family were so grateful.

Miley Cyrus
Two time zones, two different coasts, 1,000 screaming kids, two live shows, one plane ride, four weddings and one Miley Cyrus — that pretty much sums up my New Year's '09 celebrations and the next 24 hours of my life!

I arrived at LAX yesterday for one of our biggest shows of the year: "FNMTV Presents: A Miley-Sized Surprise ... New Year's Eve 2009" (long title, huh?). As always, MTV's annual New Year's show will be broadcast live from New York's Times Square — but this year we're spicing things up in a very big way. And that's what brings me to the Los Angeles area.
