Sir Clinksalot Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96K4PTO2&show_article=1 LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas casino cafe is rewarding patrons who can put away a 2-foot, 6-pound burrito with a most logical prize—free unlimited rides on a roller coaster that runs in both forward and reverse. The offer comes with a caveat, though: Those who accept the challenge but can't finish "The Bomb" burrito have to take a picture with an extra small, pink T-shirt that says "Weenie." The NASCAR Cafe at the Sahara Hotel & Casino began selling the cheese-and-guacamole slathered burrito on Thursday for $19.95. Those who can finish the monstrous entree get it for free, along with two unlimited coaster passes and a T-shirt proclaiming they "Conquered the Bomb." This could be fun!!!
robbalvey Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 That's going to be a lot of free burritos and coaster rides! Have they seen the people that go to Vegas???
Crazy4Coasters! Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I wonder how long the passes are valid for, it would be funny if the passes were only valid the day of finishing the burrito eating feat. I can imagine Speed's station looking like RCT when all those little characters barf their guts out.
Troll Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 ^^ But can those people fit in the coaster seats???
HEADCHEEZ Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I will be taking this challenge shortly. Expect a PTR.
thunder001 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Just as long as they don't make her were the shirt if she can't eat it all Robb.....that would just be wrong.
Mike Austin Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I heard that Robb was going to take this challenge, get to the last few bites, but then pretend that he couldn't finish the challenge just so he can wear the small pink shirt!
Jds03 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 It's going to be interesting to see what happens with this on the West Coast Vegas add-on.
ebl Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 For me, it'd be less painful to just cough up the admission than to walk around with six pounds of burrito in my belly. Eric
willski Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Hey, at least Speed is back up again. It was down when I went there in December, and looked like it would never open again.
Philrad71 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Is it just me or does eating a 6 pound burrito and then going on a launch/loop coaster for an unlimited amount of times seem like a bad idea???
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 It's going to be interesting to see what happens with this on the West Coast Vegas add-on. That sounds like it could warrant it's own special TPR shirt for the one who actually finishes it!!! (although, it could probably just be the trip T-shirt, covered in "Code V")
QueerRudie Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Whoever in their marketing department decided to make this a 'good' idea obviously has misunderestimated the power of a shuttle coaster- and one that can be particularly 'intense'. The platform will never smell the same again- and Lord help anybody who's stuck on the ride when the burrito takes hold.... QUEEP!
jarmor Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 From reading this thing if I dont finish I have to pay...AND no coaster rides??
Mechanic Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Once ACE gets wind of this promotion the Sahara is going to go broke.
CreditCrazy Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 interesting...i shall be going to vegas soon
packfanlv Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 ^^ The irony of this is that anyone who could actually finish the burrito, wouldn't be able to fit in the restraints anyway.
PeoplemoverMatt Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Fat people aren't the only ones that can down massive amounts of food in one sitting, or has nobody watched the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest recently? I'd have to do it w/o cheese & guac, but I could totally do this.
UberBeavis Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I used to get free Speed rides with my Sahara Club card- they'd offer free drinks or free meals, and I'd just ask for passes for the ride, and usually get them.
packfanlv Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 ^^I hate to say it, but I could probably do this too, but I would hate myself afterwards. I would rather pay the $20 for a pass and not have to deal with the side effects of eating a six pound burrito.
Jew Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Everyone is missing the bigger issue here: you're forced to eat food at The Sahara!
itnotfair Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 ^So true! I think I'd rather take my chances with the Surf Buffet!
ChrisZer0 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 That's going to be a lot of free burritos and coaster rides! Have they seen the people that go to Vegas??? Robb, I s**t you not, I saw the same broad at McCarren playing the Wheel of Fortune Slots back in july during my honeymoon. She kept hitting bonuses and won like 500 bucks while waiting for the same flight we were on...
