First U.S. Guinness Store To Open On The Las Vegas Strip

What better opportunity to open the first official Guinness store in the United States than St. Patrick's Day? Moodie Report says that the Guinness Store Las Vegas will open at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place on the Las Vegas Strip on March 17. The famous Irish stout is over 250 years old and is one of the world's most popular beers.

The 1,500-square-foot store will offer the largest selection of Guinness merchandise located in a single venue outside of Ireland. It will sell customized pint glasses, clothing, gifts and more. The store will also share information about the brewing process and the brand through visual and interactive exhibits.

Parade of Ferraris Sets New World Record

Here's a fun traffic jam to be a part of: a group of 385 Ferraris parading down the Silverstone circuit in England. It happened just a week or so ago on June 9th as part of a celebration to mark the company's anniversary year. Just a few of the models present were a 250 California Spider, a 275GTB/C, FXX, F40, F50 and an Enzo. The total value of all the Ferraris involved is estimated to be more than $118.4 million.

For the event the cars traveled slowly over a 2 mile course, made sure to stay within 2 car lengths of each other, and were counted both at the beginning and at the end. A representative from Guinness World Records certified the event as a new world record and presented Ferrari officials with a certificate.

What? No certificates for the individual owners/drivers? Bummer.
