so my next trip is only a few days away, and the symptons are back. Pulse rate up - check. Can't sleep - check. Constantly distracted - check.
I strongly suspect a vegas addiction, but after trying to research the subject in medical journals, have found very little empirical data on Vegasholia. Go figure.
So for any silient sufferers out there, here's a list of the warning signs:
- You're already planning your next trip on the flight/drive home on the current trip.
- You get anxious when you log on to jc and there are no new posts since you logged off...twelve minutes ago.
- You find yourself visiting the travel deal sites at least daily, to check out any Vegas deals.
- You've written to Jack Colton, pledging to be his campaign manager, should he take your advice and run for President.
- Your pets names are XS and Marquee. Blush died last year. You don't want to talk about it.
- Your wardrobe is divided into three sections - work / club / pool party.
- wherever you go, you text ahead to confirm what time you'll be there, group size and ratio. Walmart insists this isn't necessary.
- a publisher has expressed interest in your manuscript of TRs
- your employer accepted your leave request for 17-21 May 2012, on the grounds of religious holiday observance.
- you get a Birthday Card every year from Lee's Discount Liquor.
- Guiness Book of Records has certifed your collection of wristbands as the world's largest.
- LMFAO have written a track about you.
- you were invited to be a technical consultant on The Hangover.
- you grease at airport security to skip the line. Ditto at the boarding gate. Standing in line is for noobs.
- your vegas signature drink has just been released as a premix. The bottle has your picture on it.
- you came to vegas for a long weekend vacation three years ago...and haven't left yet.
- Something in Vegas has been named after you, like a drink, street, theatre...casino..?? (hello Steve)
- you no longer use currency to measure monetary value. 'I really want that new TV, but it costs like four and a half bottles...'
- you pre-game hard and get pumped up before every social event. This creates tension at children's birthday parties.
- your driver's licence lists your blood type as 'B+RB'
- all the staff at Fat Tuesday know you by name
- you're reading this thread...
have I missed any?

I think another symptom is having a signature Vegas drink. I mix one every time I've there and when I think of Vegas.
