A trip to Las Vegas for the Grand Prix, the National Finals Rodeo, a fight or EDC comes with fixed dates, and the schedule decides which mornings will be the hardest. Choosing a drip for the morning after is the easy part. The hard part is the clock.
The weekends that fill the city, and the mornings they make hardest
Start with how many late nights the event runs in a row, not with its name. A fight is one night. The Grand Prix is three evenings on track. The rodeo is ten evenings straight, and EDC in 2027 is two weekends a week apart. That count is the number of mornings you're planning for.
Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix: November 19 to 21, 2026
Formula 1's published schedule puts every session in the late afternoon or evening, Las Vegas time. Thursday, November 19, has practice at 4:30 PM and 8 PM. Friday, November 20, has a third practice at 4:30 PM and qualifying at 8 PM. The race is Saturday, November 21, at 8 PM.
Three late nights in a row means three mornings after: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the morning after the race. Each night's last session starts at 8 PM, so a visit back at your hotel after the track falls inside the after-hours window, and one the next morning from 7 AM doesn't.
National Finals Rodeo: ten evenings, December 3 to 12
The National Finals Rodeo isn't a weekend. The rodeo's published performance times list ten performances on ten consecutive evenings, December 3 to 12, 2026, at the Thomas & Mack Center, each starting at 5:45 PM. A rodeo trip means planning a run of mornings rather than one.
Fight weekends: the date on your card
Fight weekends follow the fight card, not the calendar. A big card is one night, so the plan is one morning: the one after the fights.
EDC 2027: two weekends, a week apart
EDC Las Vegas splits into two weekends in 2027: EDC Dusk from May 14 to 16 and EDC Dawn from May 21 to 23, as FOX5 Las Vegas reported when the change was announced. If you're going to both, plan two runs of mornings with a week between them. The announcement gives dates, not set times.
The city's other big weekends work the same way: Halloween weekend, New Year's Eve, Super Bowl weekend, the first round of March Madness, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. Count the late nights and book the morning after the biggest one.
Booking the morning you want
We're open 24 hours, and a booking picks both the treatment and the time, online or by phone. The morning you picked from the schedule can be booked before you leave home.
If you wait and book on the morning itself, our typical estimate is 45 to 60 minutes from booking to arrival, quickest on the Strip and Downtown and slightly longer in Henderson and Summerlin. At peak times, which include weekend mornings, holidays and convention weeks, the estimate is up to 90 minutes.
That's a typical window, not a promise. Book ahead and the time is one you chose; book on the morning and the wait starts when you do.
When you book, a $50 deposit is taken and credited to your total, so it's part of the price rather than an extra charge. The time you pick matters too: a visit between 8 PM and 7 AM adds the after-hours fee of $99.
We come to you, whether that's an IV in your hotel room or a visit at home, anywhere in our service area, which includes Paradise and the Strip. Visits are carried out by our licensed nurses and REMTs (emergency medical technicians), with medical oversight by our Medical Director, Dr. Daniel Olivero, MD.
If you want more than one morning covered, across the rodeo's ten nights or a race weekend, each visit is its own booking at its own price.
Booking for a group
A group books the same way, whether it's friends sharing a suite for race weekend, a bachelorette party or a wedding weekend, with one extra question: how many clinicians to send. Six people or fewer share one appointment with one clinician. Seven or more need two. The Group IV is priced for twelve: $1,000 for a two-hour session, with each person choosing a treatment from the menu.
Which drip fits the weekend?
Choose by what's in the bag, not by which event you came for. The six drips below are from our menu, and each starts with 1,000 ml of IV fluid. What changes is what's added to it.
No drip on this list is a proven way to prevent or cure a hangover. Systematic reviews in the BMJ in 2005 and Addiction in 2022 found no hangover treatment backed by good evidence, and we cover what an IV can and can't do in full elsewhere.
Add-ons to a drip are $35 each, and the full price list covers the rest of the menu. If the Hangover IV is the one you want, our $250 hangover drip has its own page, covering what each ingredient is for and who shouldn't have it.
Signs a friend needs 911, not an IV
If you're the one looking after a friend at the end of the night, these are the signs of an alcohol overdose. The list comes from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and Cleveland Clinic names the same core signs:
- Confusion or stupor
- Trouble staying conscious, or not being able to wake up
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Slow breathing: fewer than 8 breaths a minute
- Irregular breathing: 10 seconds or more between breaths
- A slow heart rate
- Clammy skin
- Dulled responses, such as no gag reflex (the reflex that prevents choking)
- Extremely low body temperature, bluish skin or paleness
If you think someone is having an alcohol overdose, call 911 straight away. Don't wait for every sign on the list. A person who has passed out can die, NIAAA warns.
While you wait for help:
- Stay with them. Someone this intoxicated can be hurt by a fall or by choking.
- Keep them on the ground, sitting or partly upright, rather than in a chair.
- If they're vomiting, help them lean forward.
- If they're unconscious or lying down, roll them onto one side with an ear toward the ground.
- Be ready to tell the responders what and how much they drank, any other drugs they may have taken, and anything you know about their health.
Cold showers, hot coffee and walking it off don't reverse an alcohol overdose, and they can make it worse.
Every sign on that list means 911. For concerns about alcohol or drug use, or a mental health crisis that isn't a medical emergency, you can call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
