NASCAR Cafe and Big 3 Burrito

Today, we went to the NASCAR Cafe in the soon to be history, Sahara Casino and Hotel. The Sahara is going to close down May 16th due to financial reasons and the fact it is almost 60 years old.
We went to the NASCAR Cafe, home of the 6 pound burrito and to say we were disappointed, is an understatement. The burrito was featured on Man vs Food. Yes, the burrito is for sale, but on Saturday, it was not because they ran out of meat.
However, it is only available to people who want to try the challenge- eat the thing in 90 minutes and it is free, otherwise you pay $20.
But if you want to split the burrito with your family or friends, you won't be able to- again only people trying the challenge can get one.
One guy was trying the challenge when I was there- skinny little guy. He got maybe 1/4 of the way done and that was it. I am not sure if you get to keep the leftovers.
The rest of the meal experience sucked. The service was so-so, the food portions were less than advertised and it was expensive for the portions.
As far as the Sahara, for a weekend, it seemed almost deserted. No one wanted to play poker in the poker room and maybe 10% of the slots were being used and that is being generous.
The NASCAR store is gone, along with several other stores and departments.
No wonder it is being closed.
But if you want to check it out, the last day of the Sahara is May 16, 2011. Then it will boarded up and probably be imploded sometime in the future.
