The World's First Hangover Bus promises an "ultra-smooth ride" to spare queasy stomachs, a mid-section with four bunks, a rear lounge, a bathroom and a "private interview room for people who have sensitive medical issues they wish to discuss."
From the outside it looks like any other tour bus. Inside, the vehicle is rigged out not unlike an ambulance: IV tubes, pulsometers, attentive nurses, and, if it all gets too much, soothing, darkened bunks.
The new service, which launched on August 14, is the brainchild of doctor Jason Burke.
The trained anesthesiologist – who still works in hospitals locally in his "day job" – came up with the idea while working with patients in recovery rooms, after qualifying in 2001.

"Watching patients in the post-anesthesia care unit, I noticed they had a lot of the same symptoms that people with a hangover have: the nausea, the headache, aches and pains, disoriented feeling.
"And I thought maybe these medications that I'm using to treat them in the recovery room could work for a hangover," he said.
What's more, "when people come to Vegas and drink, they're much more prone to get a hangover because of the time span over which they drink, it's much longer and they get more dehydrated because they're in the desert. "So it's the perfect set-up for hangovers," he said.
