Las Vegas NV: Hangover Bus Is New Strip Service


While on a business or vacation trip, how many times have you overdone it during an evening of fun and games in Venice, London, New York, Los Angeles or Las Vegas? OK, let’s include Cartagena, Colombia.

Then, after the celebration, you really needed help, but all you could do was try to crawl back to your room and sleep it off. And, of course, there was the morning-after hangover to add to your misery.

Now, a Las Vegas medical unit, aptly named Hangover Heaven, is in business to make that overindulgence ordeal a bit more bearable in Sin City. A bus cruises Las Boulevard (The Strip) nightly, stopping at the luxury hotels along the busy street to pick up revelers in need of various medical services.  

The initial fee is $130 for the ambulance-like pick-up and immediate examination on board for treatment. The medical team then goes to work to provide oxygen, IVs, medication and other tender cares. The service also provides for returning clients to their hotel rooms or, if necessary, to a local hospital.

Are you worried that drones and security cameras now follow your every move? Here’s a new spy-on-you service you’ll actually enjoy. Google and several hotel chains now offer travelers advance photoramas of their rooms, to arrive days before check-in. Guests are able to view it all on computers, tablets and smartphones.

Best Western International has launched Google Business Photos for all 2,200 of its North American hotels. Additionally, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, parent company of Radisson, Radisson Blu, and Country Inns & Suites, already have their pilot program in place in its hotels in Chicago, Miami and Washington, D.C.

Google Business Photos are 360-degree tours powered by Google Street technology. Many businesses have used the technology for security, repair, construction and other applications since it was introduced several years ago. Of course, it won’t be too long before just about every hotel in the world will offer this room preview service.
