Forget bottle service at the club—you’ll want to throw your next shindig on this bus complete with flashing lights and a dance pole. The $550 price tag might seem a bit steep at first, but once you realize that includes a two-hour open bar with unlimited snacks for your entire group, it seems much more reasonable. You can even rent a vehicle as late as 3am. Party bus after-party, anyone?

Bachelorette parties, birthdays, random Saturday nights: whatever the occasion, you’ll have a blast on this ride through NYC. Your driver will take you across the Brooklyn Bridge for picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline. There’s even time for a photo opp in DUMBO. Take your pick of a limo, party bus or Rolls Royce, if you’re feeling really fancy.

Attention Francophiles: This is the nightlife experience for you. Once you step aboard the bus, you’ll feel like you've been transported to Paris—without actually driving anywhere. You’ll sample French wines, champagne, aperitifs, assorted cheeses and creme brulee as smooth jazz plays in the background. Gather 14 of your closest friends and pool your funds to experience this taste of France in the Big Apple—it’s the next best thing to boarding an international flight.
