Even in a recession, bigger is still apparently better. Either that or someone at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas just really likes burritos. The hotel's NASCAR Cafe has begun selling a two-foot, six-pound burrito called "The Bomb." The reward for finishing the monstrous meal? "Free unlimited rides on a roller coaster that runs in both forward and reverse." Oh and a t-shirt saying, they "Conquered the Bomb."

Say what? How about letting the winner recuperate from a near-death food coma in a penthouse suite? Roller-coaster rides. Jeez.

However, we do like the t-shirts given to folks who accept the challenge but fail. They receive an extra-small pink t-shirt that says "Weenie." And they have to pay the $19.95 burrito price.

The Sahara has unveiled The Bomb just as NASCAR season kicks off in Las Vegas this weekend. And their roller-coaster ride, Speed, is reopening this weekend as well. It's pretty much the only place NASCAR fans will want to be this weekend since the hotel also has the The Las Vegas Cyber Speedway onsite, The NASCAR Racewear Shop, the late Dale Earnhardt’s #3 car on display and of course the NASCAR cafe.

Room rates tonight were going for $115 but during the week you can get rooms for as low as $23. God, we love Vegas in the recession.
