I already made a separate post about what I saw at CES. I also wanted to write about my experience. First, the food was delicious. We had lunch at the Burger Bar, and I had a buffalo burger. I don’t eat buffalo very often, and it was definitely tasty. Now there was a down side. Either that buffalo made me very sick, or something earlier did, but I was fine before I ate the buffalo.

I started to have an upset stomach at CES. At one point I was looking at convertible laptops/tablets when I completely lost my balance. I grabbed on to my friend for balance, apologized, and waited to regain my balance. When I did, I started to walk toward my group to tell them I was going back to the hotel. It should have been a 30 second walk. I few seconds later I started losing my balance again, so I stopped and leaned against a display. Eventually I reached my friends, told them I was going to go back to the hotel, and asked them where the restroom was.

I started to make way to the restroom as I began to lose my balance again. I walked with my hand against the wall to keep my sense of direction. Then my vision began to get blurry, and a white spot appeared slightly to the right of center. It spread, and after a few seconds, I couldn’t see at all. I leaned against the wall for a minute as my vision came back. I began to wonder if the convention staff would kick me out thinking I was drunk. Why wasn’t I worried about my vision? I don’t know. Anyways, eventually I made it to the bathroom, and I won’t go into any more details. However, the two days in Vegas were pretty bad.

Let’s go back to food though. I was feeling a little better that night, so I still went out with the group. We ate at the Bally’s Steakhouse. They brought everyone shots to start before even taking orders. The food itself was delicious. I had lamb chops, broccoli, macaroni and cheese, and a salad. Like the buffalo, I don’t eat lamb very often, so it was delicious.

That was Thursday. It’s Sunday now, and I’m still not feeling 100%. Luckily I haven’t had the vision problems again, which was the part I was most worried about.
