Las Vegas 'hangover bus' cruises the Strip
But they don't have to stay long, says anesthesiologist Jason Burke.
Over
the weekend, he launched a service for imbibers: a bus that cruises the
Strip Saturdays and Sundays to cure the hung-over. Among the planned
stops: Paris Las Vegas, the Bellagio and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
Hangover Heaven' offers IV therapy to rehydrate partiers. Anti-nausea medicine and vitamin treatments also are offered.
Patients
can purchase "Redemption" — $130 ($90 introductory offer) — which uses
IV fluids alone. Or they can add the nausea and vitamin therapy
(Salvation, $150 intro offer). "It works," Burke says. Treatment takes a
half-hour to 45 minutes.
He says he is surprised at the controversy his treatment has generated.
Fellow physician Robert Glatter, who practices emergency-room medicine in New York City, wrote on Forbes.com:
"While there is no doubt that Hangover Heaven is a band-aid for your
symptoms, it's sometimes better to actually feel the pain, as it's a
good reminder of the evils of consuming too much alcohol."

Burke addresses such views on his hangoverheaven.com website.
He
writes that he does not think think Hangover Heaven "encourages binge
drinking. Most hangovers are a case of people losing track of how much
they had to drink."
"I am a businessman, but I
am first a physician," he writes. "This treatment is extremely safe … I
do initially treat the symptoms of the hangover, but my treatment also
relies on encouraging the enzymatic reaction that breaks down the
by-products of alcohol, namely acetylaldehyde. Acetylaldehyde is very
difficult compound to resolve and it can take some time. The medications
help to buy some time until the body can rid itself of the excess
acetylaldehyde, which is what makes people feel like they want to curl
up and die."
"I have two EMTs (emergency medical technicians) and myself" on the job, says Burke, 42, who says he trained at Duke University and has 14 years of experience. "I'm going to be the only person administering medication," he adds.
He
won't use a Breathalizer, but says he'll do a "subjective evaluation"
to make sure patients aren't still intoxicated or under the influence of
drugs. IVs are administered via pediatric needles, which the squeamish
find easier to tolerate.
Prospective clients
can learn more on the Hangover Heaven site or call 702-900-0660.
Treatments in hotel rooms also will be offered,and Burke is planning to
launch a phone app for his service.
As for the
legality of Hangover Heaven, he says he has been dealing with various
regulatory entities and that it was difficult to open up shop.
"If only people knew the headaches I had to go through to do this," says Sin City's hangover specialist.
