We often meet guests who already have a Liquid I.V. packet packed in their suitcase or carry-on. They usually ask us the same question. Is drinking that packet basically the same thing as booking an IV? It isn’t.
The packet is mixed with water to make an electrolyte drink. You mix the packet with water and drink it. If you’re able to drink normally and simply want a convenient hydration option, it may be all you need.
An IV appointment works differently. IV fluids go directly into your bloodstream, so you don’t have to drink a large amount during the appointment. Your chosen drip may also contain electrolytes, vitamins, or medication approved by the provider.
Liquid I.V. or IV Therapy?
Here’s how the two options compare when you’re deciding which one better suits your plans.
| Liquid I.V. | Regenerate Me IV Therapy |
| Mix the packet with water and drink it | Receive fluids through an IV |
| Use it on your own | A nurse administers and monitors your IV |
| Contains electrolytes and other ingredients | IV includes fluids, electrolytes, and the ingredients listed for the drip you choose |
| Easy to carry and use when you have water nearby | Available at our Las Vegas lounges or through mobile service |
| No health review is needed | A provider reviews your health information before treatment |
So, which route makes sense? If you’re drinking normally and want an affordable option to carry with you, the packet can be useful. If you’d rather have a nurse administer your treatment and help you choose a drip, you can book an appointment with us.
What Happens at Regenerate Me
An IV visit starts with a conversation, not a needle. We ask about your health and what brought you in. Then the nurse or Nurse Practitioner goes through the choices with you.
The drips in this article all come with 1000mL of fluid. What changes from one bag to the next is everything added to it. One may have only electrolytes. Another may have vitamins or an available medication. That last part is always up to the provider.
Once the IV is started, the nurse looks after the treatment. You aren’t left to figure it out on your own.
Which Drips Are Worth Looking At?
People sometimes look at our menu and ask us to pick a winner. It isn’t quite that simple, so we start with what they want from the visit.
Pure Hydration is the stripped back option. The bag contains 1000mL of fluid and electrolytes.
Hangover Rescue adds one medication option, provided it is approved for you.
The Highroller keeps the same amount of fluid, adds B12, and also has one medication option.
The largest formula included here is Deluxe Hangover. This drip contains IV fluid and electrolytes with B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, glutathione, and one medication option for nausea or headache.
Party Prep comes up before weddings, festivals, and other long plans. The $200 bag has IV fluid, electrolytes, and B complex.
We still need to review your health information before putting any drip together. There isn’t one bag that suits everyone.
Visit a Lounge or We’ll Come to You
Where you’re staying usually decides which lounge to choose.
- The LINQ, Suite G101
- Planet Hollywood, lobby floor near the North Tower elevators
- The Venetian, Grand Canal Shoppes
- Caesars Palace, Augustus Tower
Walk-ins are always welcome. If you’re visiting during a convention, fight weekend, festival, or holiday, booking ahead may save you some time.
Sometimes even the elevator feels too far away. That’s what our mobile service is for. A nurse can meet you at a hotel, home, or office anywhere in Las Vegas, day or night. We don’t charge a travel fee. Tell us where you are when you book, and we’ll take it from there.
A Quick Safety Note
If someone is hard to wake, confused, having a seizure, struggling to breathe, experiencing chest pain, or vomiting repeatedly, call 911. Don’t wait for a wellness appointment.
