LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Holiday revelers who have had too much to drink can get a free tow home Wednesday night courtesy of AAA's "Tipsy Tow" service.

Drivers can call 800-222-4357 (AAA-Help) and tell the operator "I need a Tipsy Tow."

Tow trucks will transport drivers and their vehicles one-way up to 10 miles.

If there are additional passengers who need a ride, they will be taken to the driver's home as long as there is room for them in the tow truck.

The service is available from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.
