Hungover? Get on the bus

The bus picked up 16 patients on its first weekend as a mobile treatment center for tourists who spent the night before drinking in all the nightlife Las Vegas has to offer. For a fee, they get a quick morning-after way to rehydrate, rejuvenate and resume their revelry. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)

Raging headache and short hours of sleep since last nights partying?

Treatment awaits on the Hangover Heaven bus.

The moving bus makes stops at all the major hotels and casinos to serve up a cocktail of vitamins, amino acids and prescription medications, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The bus includes two lounge areas and six bunk beds. The bus driver picks you up and drops you off at your hotel if you are feeling so bad that you cannot go and find the bus yourself.

Hangover Bus claims on its website that its 'cure' works on 95 of hungover people.

The basic package, dubbed Redemption, costs $ 135. Those in true pain can pay $ 200 for the Salvation package, which includes IV hydration and anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications.

Dr. Jason Burke, who came up with the idea, claims to be the first physician in the United States to become a "Hangover Specialist."

Should we have to lose an entire day of our vacation because the bartender over-served us the night before?" he writes. "I say NO.

Dr. Arthur Caplan from the University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethicshas doubts that the Hangover Heaven has the true cure for the morning after blues. If there was a simple, give it through an IV remedy for that big super strong hangover, I think itd be in the literature.

Burke denies that his 'bus' encourages people to binge drink.

"Most hangovers are a case of people losing track of how much they had to drink," he writes on his site. "I am a businessman, but I am first a physician."
