Houston, you can ring in 2005 “As You Like It” this New Year’s Eve at the Hilton Americas-Houston. This downtown hot spot will offer three unique options to meet a variety of tastes and pocketbooks. If black tie suits your mood, make your reservations at the Skyline Bar & Grill for a six-course dinner for two, free-flowing champagne or apple cider and party favors, live music, dancing, toast at midnight, a luxurious guest room, and a breakfast buffet and Bloody Mary bar on New Year’s Day. Your splurge of $595 per couple includes all tax and gratuity.
