Tis the season for Bond…James Bond.

This New Year’s Eve Euronet International is hosting an all Bond international New Years Eve 007 License to Thrill party for “sophisticated singles, couples and groups alike”. 

New Years Eve party dance performers - Carnival photoThis black tie party has, obviously, a 007 theme.  Attendees “travel” around the globe Bond-style, to party rooms featuring a different country’s food, drink and music. From a mock Casino Royale with Roulette, Craps and Black Jack to a unique ‘shaken not stirred’ Icelandic-themed Ice Bar, partiers can span the missions of 007.

Watch performances in many of the themed rooms. Belly dancers, Gypsy sword dancers, Conga Line and Limbos, will offer something for everyone.
