As we have seen in the past, the Microsoft Surface has recently made its way into another Las Vegas hotspot and the latest location is the new Hard Rock Cafe which is located in the Showcase Mall.  Now, in addition to walking around and checking out the memorabilia on the walls (as well as buying some overpriced souvenirs), visitors can spend some time and check out any of the seven Surface tables that will be on display.

Of course, similar to when the Surface was added at the Rio iBar these units will also feature some apps that were designed specifically for the Hard Rock.  In fact, there are two apps and they include:

• Worldwide Memorabilia – Created by Hard Rock, the new Worldwide Memorabilia application is designed for guests to explore the world’s greatest collection of rock music memorabilia that reside in Hard Rock properties from around the world. This is an extension of the Memorabilia experience that is available on the web as well as in the restaurant booths. The application also lets users pivot from one collection to another, using categories such as artist, year, genre, and type.
• Virtual Globe – Customers can also use a spinning virtual globe to find other Hard Rock locations and view images of the properties.

In regards to the apps, they are noted as being a collaboration between the Hard Rock, Duncan/Channon as well as Vertigo (a Microsoft Surface partner).
