If you are bored to tears by the same old birthday ideas, then you should think about doing things different this year. For instance, you and some friends could go in on a party bus rental in chicago and have a grand old time. These are basically moving dance clubs that you can party in all night. What is more is that they come with a professional driver, so there is no need for designated driver. This way everyone gets to party and have fun. Another option is that you and friends can go in on a hotel room ion the middle of the city, and use it as your center point from which to party from and return to. This way you can stay on foot, and again not need the designated driver. You can always combine the two as well. You can go with a party bus and a hotel room.
