Top Ten ways to know you have been in Las Vegas for too long:

After surviving my first trip to Vegas for the JCK and Couture shows, I came away with a lot of gained knowledge and experience, and one very important conclusion.  Staying in Vegas for ten days is not a healthy move. What entertained me most was that even people who were there for two or three days were ready to pull their hair out. So, whether you were there for one day or ten days, whether you hate Vegas or just can’t stand trade shows, I hope you enjoy being home!

1. You begin to refer to your hotel room as home. Example: “I am just going to run home and change before dinner.”
2. You can walk from Venetian to the Wynn with out looking up from your iphone or blackburry.
3. You have to write all your emails on your way to and from the Venetian to the Wynn.
4. You start to end phone conversations with, “Sorry, I have to go. I’m walking through the casino, and I can’t be on the phone.”
5. You begin to throw around the very scary phrase: “used to…!” Example: “We used to sit next to each other in the office.” Thank god I was with a Vegas veteran who reminded me that “used to” is not that far away.
6. You stop noticing the nasty smell of stale garbage on the short-cut way (through the Sands) from the Venetian to the Wynn.(If you do not know what short cut I refer to perhaps you need more time in Vegas!)
7. You choose to order a burger from room service, rather than go to a five star restaurant.
8. The hotel employee whose job it is to check that people entering the elevator bank have keys recognizes you by face.
9. The smell of alcohol and cigarettes become a new combined smell that can only be found inside a hotel casino at 3:00am.
10. You are able to make a top ten list of reasons.
