5 Reasons to Hire a Party Bus

When the occasion calls for celebration, a party bus offers a great solution. A party bus is essentially a chartered means of bus transportation for the party goers. The bus can be reserved well ahead of time, and be ready to use on the date of the event for as many hours as necessary. The host can either have the bus pick up party goers at their individual homes, or the bus can be waiting at a specific pick up and drop off location. When it’s expected that drinking will be taking place, it’s recommended that the bus picks up party goers from their hotel or residence so that they can drop them off safely at their home or hotel after the festivities are over. Party buses are very popular for those having a Las Vegas party, since party attendees may want to stay together and visit multiple venues in a single night. Consider these five great reasons why chartering a party bus may be the best transportation solution.

1. A party bus prevents drunk driving by ensuring that party attendees never have to worry about having too much to drink and then trying to drive themselves home. This keeps party goers and other drivers safe on the roads.

2. A party bus saves the exorbitant cost of having to rent out and decorate a large party room. Hosts will also be spared the trouble of cleaning up after the party. Party buses can be decorated ahead of time by the hosts or the bus charter owner.

3. Party bus services offer lots of vehicle choices, including tricked out SUV limos, convertible limos and modified motor coaches and freightliners. The specific vehicle choice will depend on the number of guests planning to attend.

4. SUV limos and party buses are typically equipped with state-of-the-art sound systems with an option to have a DJ, light show systems, comfortable seating and video capabilities. Hosts would have a hard time finding that kind of atmosphere in a hotel conference room.

5. Party buses can be ideal for any event. Whether best friends are traveling to a casino together, hosts are arranging a wedding shower for a bride, guys are having a bachelor party or employees are arranging a retirement celebration, a party bus will make it special and appropriate for the occasion.

Does the Glass Ceiling Still Exist?

For a long time, women have run into a “glass ceiling,” when seeking advancement in the corporate and business world. The glass ceiling is not a stated policy. In fact, it is almost an invisible barrier. It may appear to others not to even exist. Nevertheless, women who hit the glass ceiling know very well when they run into it.

Successes

Some women have been able to break through the glass ceiling to rise to the chief executive level at the companies of Facebook, General Motors, and IBM. Those are the rare ones. Anti-discrimination and sexual harassment laws also improved the workplace environment for women. However, there is still a long way to go before women have parity with men in the workplace.

Improvements

A recent study called “Women in the Workplace,” conducted by Kinsey in partnership with Leanin.org as reported by Glassceiling.com, showed some improvement in the numbers since 2012. The study reviewed the status of 188 companies with close to 30,000 employees. Entry-level professionals who are women increased from 42% to 45%. Women who are senior managers or corporate directors increased from 28% to 32%. At the top chief executive level, the increase was a modest 1% from 16% to 17% who are women.

Misconceptions

One of the false misconceptions is that family responsibilities cause women to leave the workplace more than men. The study found this to be untrue. The rate of employees leaving the companies was the same for both women as for men. Surprisingly, those women who reached the C-level of companies were twice as likely to stay with the organization as men were.

One of the explanations for the lower amount of women who reach the C-level in corporations is the fewer number of women in line roles that have profit and loss responsibility at the lower levels of the company. In the lower corporate levels, women tend to achieve success in the areas of human resources, IT, and legal departments, which do not necessarily put them on track for a C-level position.

Small Business

The Huffington Post reports that women are succeeding in small business. Approximately 10 million small business owners in America are female. Women in both the Senate and Congress are pushing forward on legislation and programs to level the playing field for women-owned businesses to help them get financing and have more access to government contracts.

Women are Welcome in Las Vegas

One place that is attracting more females is Las Vegas. Women enjoy a Las Vegas party now as much as men do. Las Vegas is a terrific place to have a wild bachelorette party and for women to get together to celebrate success in business.
