Do You Think Dad Would Like A New Dodge Challenger Saleen For Father's Day?

2014 Challenger

Whether fathers are looking to reward themselves or families are looking for an extra special gift, the dealerships of Towbin Automotive, including Towbin Dodge and Prestige Chrysler Jeep Dodge, have announced a few favorite models for dads in celebration of Father’s Day.

Towbin Automotive is the exclusive dealer for the much-anticipated new Dodge Challenger Saleen in Nevada and offers the high-powered automotive in three compelling coupe models, including the 570 White Label, the 570 Yellow Label and the 570 Black Label. The 570 Yellow Label and 570 Black Label each come complete with a supercharged V8 engine, giving dads a powerful rush behind the wheel. This iconic brand name car has as much as 570 horsepower and has quickly become a top seller.

The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, available at Towbin Dodge and Prestige Chrysler Jeep Dodge, is the first truck of its kind on the market. For the rugged outdoorsman, this is the industry’s first light-weight truck with a diesel engine, which allows for exceptional torque and towing capabilities, reduced CO2 emissions and the best fuel economy of any full-size pickup.

Available at both Towbin Dodge and Prestige Chrysler Jeep Dodge, the 2014 Dodge Challenger Shaker makes its long-awaited return by combining old muscle car qualities, like the monumental Shaker hood, with modern upgrades, such as a functional air intake and Electronic Stability Control. The Shaker hood makes a huge comeback with a black, engine-mounted hood scoop and exposed conical high-flow element that directs cool air into the HEMI V8 engine.

The Hard Rock Cafe's Have New Menu Items! When In Vegas...Try Them!

It’s true that if you throw a rock anywhere in Las Vegas your chances of hitting a restaurant is better than betting on black on the roulette wheel. But the tricky part is finding a restaurant that is fun, reasonably priced and has great food and tempting cocktails. If you are looking for all three of these attributes in a restaurant I would highly recommend The Hard Rock Café on the LV Strip.

The Hard Rock Café has a new menu! This menu has been in the works for over 14 months; going through rigorous culinary developments, intensive research and guest evaluations. So serious is The Hard Rock team that they surveyed over 3000 guests across four continents and 14 cities regarding the new menu. This entire process resulted in the addition of 30 new menu items and the modification of 28 existing menu items. So be prepared for a highly satisfying meal!  

Located at 3771 Las Vegas Blvd. South this three story experience is 42,000 square feet of Rock N’ Roll!! On bottom The Rock Shop is where you can find t-shirts, gifts and interesting Hard Rock Café items, the second floor is the café and the third floor is where the lounge and bar and concert venue are located.   

Overlooking the Las Vegas Strip you can sip drinks while taking in the craziness below while perched safely three stories up. At any time you will see a plethora of cartoon characters, all types of tourists and probably sights that you can go home and tell your friends “You never will believe what I saw in Vegas!!”  

There is an array of new summery refreshing drinks to choose from with my three favorites being:

1.  Magical Mystery Mojito – Cucumber syrup. Mint leaves and lime juice muddle together with Hendricks Gin (and I do not even like Gin!) St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur and topped with a splash of Sierra Mist – REFRESHING!

Big Kablue-na

2. Big Kablue-na – Bacardi Coconut Rum, Blue Curacao, Lime Juice blended with HRC scratch Pina Colada Mix – DELECTABLE!

Red Berry Press

3. Red Berry Press – Fresh Strawberries, Raspberries and lemons pressed together with Svedka Clementine Vodka, HRC made from scratch Lemonade and Lemon-Lime Soda.  – FRESH!

Since you are on vacation why not live it up and go all out and order appetizers! Highly recommended are these three:

Appetizers

1.  Rockin’ Wings – JUMBO wings coated with their signature smoked dry rub, slow roasted and served with FRESH made in the kitchen blue cheese dressing and carrots and celery. You have your hoice of Buffalo style or grilled with Classic Rock, Tangy or Heavy Metal sauces or dry seasoned. – GRATIFYING!

2. Spinach Artichoke Dip (I know you have seen and had this on probably numerous occasions but try it here!) A warm, creamy blend of spinach, artichokes and cheese. Topped with Romano cheese and served with crispy Parmesan flatbread.  – DELICIOUS!

Nachopalooza

3. Nachopalooza – Tortilla chips piled high and layered with three bean mix, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, jalapenos and green onions. Garnished with sour cream. – FIESTA!

Now on to the main meal! We sampled many items and there is no way to really choose a favorite so here are three of the entrees that I leaned towards:

Grilled Chicken Arugula Salad

Grilled Chicken Arugula Salad – Baby arugula, thinly sliced grilled chicken, spicy pecans, dried cranberries and fresh oranges tossed in a lemon balsamic vinaigrette, topped with crumbled feta cheese. – SUMMERY!

Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich – Slow-cooked beef brisket topped with hickory barbecue sauce and crispy onions on grilled sourdough bread.  – SUPER SATISFYING & TENDER

Grilled Norwegian Salmon – 8-oz. filet, wrapped in cedar paper, grilled tender and drizzled with sweet and spicy barbecue sauce with maître de butter. Served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and seasonal veggie.  – MOIST & TENDER!

If you happen to be a vegetarian the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich was amazing!

Grilled Vegetable Sandwich – Marinated and grilled Portobello mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, roasted red peppers and grilled asparagus, topped with Monterey Jack cheese and balsamic glaze on grilled sourdough with tarragon mayonnaise.   

Trio Of Desserts

As I mentioned you are in Vegas so live it up!  Go ahead and order dessert, because these desserts are tantalizing and tempting and fantastic! Here are three in favorite order:

1. Fresh Apple Cobbler – Served warm with vanilla ice cream, topped with walnuts and caramel sauce. This dessert is made fresh in the kitchens and is so creamy and buttery that each bite was heavenly.

2. Cheesecake Made With Oreo Cookie Pieces – Made in house, a generous helping of Oreo cookies baked in their rich and creamy NY-style cheesecake, with a decadent Oreo cookie crust. – DECADENT!

3. Hot Fudge Brownie – Ben & Jerry’s vanilla ice cream and hot fudge on a fresh homemade brownie, topped with chopped walnuts, chocolate sprinkles, fresh whipped cream and a cherry.  CHOCOLATE LOVERS DELIGHT!

Kurt Cobain Signed Guitar

Grace Slick 

That is just the food! If you are a Rock n Roll aficionado then you can spend a great amount of time browsing among the displays. I personally am a HUGE fan of Nirvana so it was very special to see the Nirvana display. On the first floor in the store there is a Madonna bustier that is crazy! So small and covered with all sorts of glittery shiny objects and it even has a doll head.

Both locations on the Strip and on Paradise Road can be booked for receptions, banquets and can be bought out for full venue capacities.  At the Las Vegas Strip location the third floor is a full concert venue and it is an intimate setting. Very similar to how The Joint was as the Hard Rock Hotel.  Here is a list of the bands that will be performing at the Strip location.
