So true. I have been out there on 2 separate occasion for week long conferences. I believe it is the closest I have ever come to being hospitalized for exhaustion and alcohol related issues. thank good is was when I was about 10 years ago. The cap on the second occurrence was that United went on strike the day I was to fly home.My option was to sit in the LV airports for an unknown amount of time or take the long way home. I flew from LV to San Francisco, had a layover, then SF to Chicago, Chicago to Columbus. I landed in Columbus 24 hours after arriving at the LV airport. My wife looked at me, shook her head and asked how i was standing. Needless to say I slept for almost 18 hours after getting home.
