Will It Look As Good Coming Up as It Did Going Down?

Las Vegas is having trouble attracting visitors and I'm not sure this is gonna help:

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."


I took that picture at the NASCAR Cafe last July as we watched the Daytona race on the TVs around the restaurant. They didn't have the 6-pound burrito back then, and it wouldn't have mattered if they did. That's way more burrito than I ever want to see, and way more burrito I want to see all over the rollercoaster cars.
