Adam, who is becoming more and more recognized as the ambassador of all things delicious, will endure the challenge and attempt to consume all six pounds of the B3 in 90 minutes on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. Adam has accepted the terms of the challenge: if he can’t finish the six pound, two-foot burrito, he will put on a pink, extra-small “certified Weenie” T-shirt and smile for a picture to forever be displayed on the “Weenie Wall of Shame.” However, should Adam finish the burrito, his photo wearing his “Conqueror” shirt will be added as the third winner to the “Wall of Fame.”

The episode filming at Nascar Café is open to the public as guests are encouraged to come cheer Adam on. And to celebrate the B3’s first celebrity contestant, the Nascar Café will be giving the first 50 customers to come by at 1:30pm their first draft beer on the house.

In his many food adventures, Adam has taken on everything from a 13 pound pizza to a platter of atomic-hot wings. The question still remains if he can handle the B3. The B3 is smothered is guacamole, sour cream and cheese and is part of the NASCAR Café’s new enormous-sized portion menu.

Sahara offers World of Concrete Attendees Free Lobster Tail with any Steak Entree, at the House of Lords.
Free Glass of House Wine Too

Las Vegas, Nev. – The legendary House of Lords Steak House at the Sahara Hotel & Casino is offering a deal that no World of Concrete delegate can refuse: A free lobster tail with the purchase of any steak entrée on the menu (must show your convention badge). The House of Lords is also offering a free glass of house wine for all convention attendees.

Attendees will also enjoy the convenience of the Sahara being one of the most easily accessible properties on the Las Vegas Strip via the Las Vegas Monorail or Paradise Road. Other great deals conventioneers may want to take advantage of at the Sahara include: Fabulous happy hour specials at Paco’s Bar & Grill from 10 p.m. to close; featuring half-priced appetizers, $2 chicken and beef tacos, $2 draft beers and two for one margaritas. The Sahara also offers a breakfast special at the Caravan Café which includes two eggs, two sausages, a strip of bacon, hash browns, toast and a small juice for just $8.99.

A long time Las Vegas favorite, the House of Lords is one of the few remaining truly vintage Las Vegas steakhouses. With its fountains, mood lighting, incredible wine list and elegant and romantic setting, the steakhouse has played host to some of the biggest stars to come to town. Known for its extravagant food and superior service, the House of Lords was beloved by the Rat Pack.

““We don’t see the World of Concrete delegates as quiche guys”,” said Bill Tremper, vice president of marketing and sales for the Sahara. “This is a steak loving crowd, so we figured the only thing better than a steak is steak and lobster, so we are throwing in the lobster. It’s a great meal.”

Harrah’s is the first company to deploy a Microsoft Surface Computer with a suite of customized applications. Of course the units will be branded with Harrah’s / Rio branding, but the applications on the computer are quite intriguing.

Microsoft Surface is a 30-inch table display that individuals or multiple people can interact with digital content, using touch and gestures or using objects from the real world, like a glass, yes you can put your drink on it. I have seen it used in a scenario of laying our cell phones and it will tell you which phones they are and what capabilities they have. Yes we go to CES and other geek outings.

This table paired with electronic devices such as bluetooth, RFID, GPS will be really cool in the future.

The Rio’s iBar is located at the main entrance of the Rio. Literally as soon as you walk in the front doors 25 feet in-front of you is the ibar.

Each table is estimated to cost $10,000.

Microsoft has created applications for the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino iBar that include games a group can play together.

Here are some of the applications Microsoft built for Harrah’s
(from microsoft.com):

• Flirt Vegas style by adding a hip ultra-lounge vibe to the flirting experience. This application allows guests to create an exciting new way to chat and meet people from one Surface to another. Strategically placed video cameras at each Surface add even more energy to the action, allowing guests to interact with old friends, flirt with new acquaintances, and take and send photos across the lounge.

• Mixologists are inspired to create and order their own signature cocktails for themselves or to send to that special someone across the room using Surface and Harrah’s intuitive food and beverage application.

• Hip-notic describes how guests will feel when kicking back to find and view the latest and most popular online videos with their friends on Surface.

• Head Games are taken to a whole new level with Harrah’s creative suite of play-for-fun games. With the unique Surface interface, Harrah’s adds an exciting new take on some old favorites such as High Roller bowling, Dissed multiplayer pickup pinball, and a Last Call musical memory game that encourage the whole group to play together. Leaderboards add excitement as guests compete with one another to see who can climb to the top of the scoreboard.

In addition to Harrah’s unique applications and play-for-fun games, the Surface units also feature a photos application and a virtual concierge application developed by Microsoft that Harrah’s customized for its environment.

• See and Be Scene is what guests can do as they tour all of Harrah’s Vegas properties and explore attractions in Vegas without leaving their seat at the iBar.

• Virtual Vegas aptly describes how guests will take a virtual walk down the Las Vegas strip on Surface, letting their fingers be the guide. Guests will be able to get information on the latest events and attractions at all Harrah’s properties throughout Vegas.

Project City Center was under scrutiny because of its safety record. The BTC (Building Trade Council) was alerted due to the walk-off of City Center Workers and the 6th death at that job site.

The Cosmopolitan Workers were also on strike, which is also overseen by the Perini Building Company, but less than 24 hours after it started, work on the projects will resume Wednesday morning.

Perini will have to follow some guidelines of the Center for Construction Research and Training, like on-site OSHA Training and others.

Flights to and from Las Vegas will be cut by and average of 25% due to rising fuel prices. So with fewer flights and rising costs Las Vegas Tourism may take a hit.

The cut comes from most major carriers and not the smaller ones so good deals are still out there.

If tourism in Las Vegas goes south we will once again see better hotel room rates.
