I went once when I was a teenager (let's just say that was a while ago). I think it's probably something everyone should do once. Having done it, I'm also certain it's not anything I want to do ever again.
I'm not sure how the hotel angle would work out, but I can guarantee you that you won't see much of anything from the 4th floor of the Marriott. You will end up out among the throngs. I just remember standing around for a long, long, LONG time, being very cold, and then feeling anti-climactic when the ball dropped and it was all over.
The idea of being in my warm house, next to the blazing fire, with good company enjoying good food is where my tastes lie now.
