The USA is a destination with an incredible variety of things to do and places to see.
For many, however, there is one caveat that is absolutely necessary when planning a trip: the ability to party! Fortunately, the USA has no shortage of destinations with vibrant cultural scenes and exciting nightlife, and while you certainly know of places like Los Angeles, New York City and Las Vegas to be typical party destinations, here are a few lesser-known, but just as exciting, party destinations.

Key West, Florida
Key West has somewhat of a reputation for being raucous and rowdy. In fact, the city has been compared to New Orleans, Louisiana; its Duval Street has been called "The Bourbon Street of Florida." While you’ll find plenty of places to have a drink and join a party, you have to check out the nightly Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square. With crazy performances and even crazier costumes, the Sunset Celebration is an unforgettable experience.
