The world’s largest party bus will soon be available just 15 miles from Ames.

The bus is 60 feet long and holds 78 people. It gets six miles per gallon and is available for $155 per hour, with a three hour rental minimum. After the first three hours, the price drops by five dollars.

Party buses have become popular in recent years as a way to party with friends while having a hired designated driver for the night. John Booth, owner of the bus, said it’s a great tool to keep students off the road and prevent drunk driving.

The bus comes equipped with a 54 inch flat screen television, a sound system, DJ lights, a dance pole, Play Station 2 with Guitar Hero and leather couches.

The bus will begin running March 1. Call 515-450-9481 to rent.
