Lil Wayne Ringing in the New Year in the Midwest

Young Money is taking over this New Year's Eve. To help bring in 2011, three of the crew's biggest stars -- Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake -- will host parties in different cities, with Weezy serving as master of ceremonies at Markham, Illinois' Adrianna's Club Ballroom, Nicki Minaj tickling club patrons pink at Miami's Mansion and Drizzy heating it up in the same city at WALL Lounge.

Lil Wayne, who was freed from jail last month after serving eight months for weapons possession, will head to the Midwest to help ring in the New Year. The YM honcho will host 'Count Down NYE 2011' at Adrianna's. Tickets are already on sale for one of Weezy's first hosting gigs post-incarceration, with prices ranging from $100 for general admission, $150 for VIP and $275 for a table.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is hosting at Miami's Mansion, where the club has a special night planned for those in attendance. The venue has reportedly spent $50,000 on all-pink décor including cotton candy machines, a special light show, carpets, dancers and more. Additionally, waitresses will be wearing butt pads in honor of the host, who will also be joined by TheDirty.com's Nik Richie.

Drake will also touch down in South Beach at the W Hotel's WALL Lounge for the last day of 2010. Taking place around the hotel's pool area, the party, sponsored by The Scene Group, will feature an array of DJs including Sinatra, Phresh, Jacomino, Stephan Luke, Blaze and DJ Irie.
