If you have ever seen the Dallas skyline at night, you know it is one of the most spectacular. Take a look!



The two most prominent buildings are the Bank of America Building in green and the Reunion Tower Ball that for years has glowed gold.

Well, all that changes tonight, New Year's Eve, when the ball will suddenly flash a myriad of colors. Watch the brief clip below, showing a test earlier.

Since the new Omni Hotel opened this past summer in downtown Dallas, a "light war" of sorts has erupted.
The hotel can flash messages intermittently on its blue, reflective facade.

Not to be outdone, the city of Dallas began quietly switching out the lights in the Reunion Tower, which features a revolving restaurant inside.

Should be quite a sight tonight when officials turn the lights on permanently and the fireworks erupt over the Dallas skyline at midnight.
