Any good ideas on staying out late?

I’m a 17 yr old female & i work a job so that i come home about 10. My parents are way too strict & don’t allow me to sleepover. So when I wanna party or rave, I have to either wait till they’re out of town (not very often) or come up with excuses. I don’t like excuses but i want to have a life! Any ideas for what i could tell them? p.s. please don’t tell me to be honest with them. they wont hear it! & its mainly my mom that’s over protective. my dad is more relaxed.
