You can't really just "lay down some plywood" over concrete. There's no decent way to attach it. You have to lay down "sleepers" first (PT 2x4's layed flat, and Tapcon'd or nailed with concrete nails). The advantage to that, is that you can install rigid insulation between the 2x's (you could also install radiant heating) before you lay the plywood down. The disadvantage, is that the floor will be about 2.5 inches taller than the adjoining rooms, which makes for a funky transition. You're probably going to be better off laying down an "elastomeric polyurethane" coating, and installing the Lam over that.
