Did anyone else return from the Vegas GTG feeling under the weather?

I thought it was jet lag, but going on 4/5 days and just feel 0% energy, anyone else feeling similar?

Yep

Got there with a scratchy throat but returned with an infrequent but deep cough. Had someone tell me it was common. Called the Vegas crud. Nasty. Feeling pretty drained also. Worth it though! Had a blast meeting everyone!

I've been a little tired since my return. I just chalked it up to lack of sleep!

Wife and I both have some kind of cough and lung issue. Shortness of breath, congestion, just feel like **** generally. I fly out at 5AM to DC. Not looking forward to another trip...

I hope it is short lived. No energy or appetite...

Yes. I felt fine when I got there on Thursday. Felt tired when I left Sunday morning. Woke up Monday with a sore throat that's lingered all week. Now I'm congested and have no voice and no energy. Looks like this is settling in for the long haul.

I know it takes me time to recover after Las Vegas, due to the dehydration that takes place. You just can't drink enough water when not used to that desert climate and low humidity in the hotels. Always gives me a very scratchy throat after a few days there and for a few days upon return home.

Probably on a plane. That’s my guess anyways. Hope you’re feeling better.

Wow boys!! Hate hearing that for y’all. Maybe its time to move the next one away from the gambling and prostitution capital of the world. I’d certainly be game to attend then....

I always feel terrible after returning from Vegas. I spent 7 straight days in a Vegas casino for work last November... I mean I walked into the MGM and didn’t exit it until 7 days later. It took me a week to recover. Sore throat, congestion, and total lack of energy. With the recycled air, and the congregation of people from all over the World, you’re bound to catch something.

Anything you bring home from Vegas, came from a toilet seat.
