Has anyone else gotten food poisoning at the “The Top of the World Restaurant” at the Stratosphere Tower?

On January 27, 2006, I took my girlfriend to the “The Top of the World Restaurant” at the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas. When we sat down, we ordered the “World Famous Chateaubriand for Two.” I asked her to marry me between the main course and the Chocolate Stratosphere Tower that we split for desert. Much to my surprise and delight, she said yes.

After dinner we decided to go upstairs to the observation deck and take some photographs and wonder around a bit. Within about a half hour of finishing dinner we both realized that Taco Bell would have been a much better choice for dinner. The food poisoning lasted for the remainder of that evening and most of the next day. So the highlight of the evening was when she said “yes,” and it went downhill from there.

I certainly can’t recommend the Stratosphere Tower for anything but the view, but we are getting married in April and I can hardly wait.

Has anyone else experienced the “Tower” like we did?
Food Poisoning
The development of gastroenteritis secondary to the consumption of bacteria or their toxic byproducts. Onset of symptoms may occur anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours after the ingestion of the tainted foodstuffs.

There are several different types of food poisoning, some take 6-8 hours to present symptoms, some take 2-3 days. What my fiancé and I experienced was, fortunately, a rather mild form of poisoning, with symptoms that set in within 30 minutes and lasted for about a day and a half.

I think they were 1925, 1975, & 1989.
Synthyia, thanks.

Does anyone else wish that end of the world would just happen already?

I find myself wishing for global catastrophe, or the “Apocalypse” to come about and wipe the slate clean. Yes I know it sounds horrible and inhumane, but I’m just speaking my mind. People all around the world just make problems. I wish to just leave humanity behind and become a recluse. I have survival skills and am loosely familiar in agriculture, so I know I’d be fine on my own for the most part. I’m tired of these old men in suits claiming they know whats best for the rest of us. I’m tired of the inconsiderate people on the streets. I’m tired of all of the mindless sheep that preach they have answers to problems that don’t matter in the world. People have lost their independence, and have become weak in return. Too reliant on technology, and too willing to be lead are the people. They forget where they come from, and embrace the superficial. Why? Why can’t people come together and help each other for the greater good? Because they’re to worried about the new iPod that comes out next month. They worry about they’re next facebook status. They have fallen in love with this trivial convenience that is coveted around the world. My only hope is that i am strong enough to survive any collapse in society so that I can finally get some peace and quiet, and who knows maybe even help people think for themselves and embrace collective thinking, equality for all, the free exchange of ideas, and most importantly, logic. People should also know how too defend themselves, for any number of reasons. Defending their homestead/ community from those who wish to take from them. It’s a tough world out there and the vast majority of humanity would not survive in nature. Not because of being to dumb or unintelligent, but because of sheer laziness, and unwillingness to better ones self. All though if I should fall in the end of the world, I will die laughing at humanity. I’m sure it’ll be other humans who are the cause of it all too, and that it could have been avoided if people would only listen to one another.

This is my first post/question, please comment and leave your thoughts. Weather you are agreeing or the latter. all opinions are welcome as long as you are not disrespectful. my only goal is to inspire free thinking, which I hope I have done at the least.
Thanks to those who answered. One answer states, “your life is a mirror of your thoughts”. My life is sh*t first off, and most of my freedoms have been stripped from me. I am a soldier in the US Army. Were free thinking is rather rare if you ask me. I’ve lived on my own sense I was 16 and am now 22. I’ve seen a lot in my 22 years on this earth. I’ve seen many different places on this earth as well, and they’re are all the same ultimately. I know i can come off a little rash sometimes and I know most people in the world are just trying to make it, but they argue to much amongst themselves over things that have no real standing in society. Like religion for instance, or other personal beliefs. For some reason, the masses of people think everyone else should believe the same as them or like them. I enlisted hoping to find direction in my life and all i found was the same sh*t. I wanted to be the one who helped others, so I enlisted to be a combat medic, and all i see in the majority of th
(in the majority of…) the places I’ve been is same as any where else, from Iraq and back. It’s all just a bunch of people being driven apart from one another because of different preferences or beliefs. I’ll say right now I know I may seem a little… extreme in my thought process, but remember that I’m only 22. I have much to learn and I know that, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to voice my opinion regardless.
