Airbnb and Nasdaq are teaming up to offer a one-night stay on New Year's Eve inside a dome with views of the Times Square ball drop.

Like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, this year's New Year's Eve Times Square celebration is going to be virtual during the coronavirus pandemic. However, the guest that books the listing, which is hosted by Mariah Carey, will have the opportunity to experience the countdown in person with views of the ball drop and celebrations.

"Under the New Year's Eve ball, say GTFO to 2020 in style," the listing, posted by Carey's Airbnb account, reads.

The dome listing announcement comes almost a week after Airbnb's successful IPO.

The "Sleep under the New Year's Ball in Times Square" listing opens on December 21 for $21. It's not a contest, which means the first person to book the dome will receive the stay.
