I've only seen Microsoft's Surface at CES, but the touch-screen table is putting on its sequined top and heading to Vegas. If you're traveling to Sin City anytime soon, head over to Rio to do some high-tech flirting at the iBar ultra-lounge.

Harrah's Entertainment set up six Microsoft Surface units throughout the bar, along with video cameras to give guests a more interactive experience. It looks like guests seated at one of the six Surface tables will be able to flirt with others, play games, order drinks, and watch online videos with their friends.

You can watch a video of the table in action here.

According to the Seattle PI, when guests are in 'Flirt' mode they can take pictures or video of themselves and send it to others along with cheesy come-on lines like "You're so HOT ... got sunscreen?" "Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?" and "I tripped on a kiss and fell in love with you."

Hopefully you can create your own pick-up lines with it too, otherwise, you might want to avoid the 'Flirt' option if you want to save face.

In addition to being a social-networking tool for guests, the Surface table also can provide guests with information about show times, and virtual tours of the other city that never sleeps.
