Las Vegas: Burger Bar

VeganMac (from the Portland website OnPDX hits 8 the hard way and finds a Vegan burger in Vegas....yep!:

Being Vegan in Las Vegas is like being a nun at a strip club..

This burger is THE Vegan burger at the Burger Bar (and possibly the only Vegan burger in Las Vegas) at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. The Burger is two portabello mushroom caps with sauteed vegitables between them (Eggplant, Red Pepper, Zucchini). The guy I was with lives in Texas and he snapped this picture because he didn't think anyone in Texas would believe such a burger could ever exist.

It was mighty tastey.

The cost for the burger a whopping $15.45 with tax and tip!

Nevada: In N' Out (Las Vegas)

SpecialSauce keeps us asking why there isn't one here:

We all got Double Doubles, two patties with cheese and animal style, of course. For $5.39 our burgers came with fries and a medium drink.

Hamburgler and Pickles&Ammo sneak away from work with one of them kids from North Portland's classy drinkin' spot the Florida Room (did you know one just opened in Miami Beach as well?) to put down some quickies:

Normally shy away from the fast food, but vacation diets permit such extravagance (and everyone telling us we had to go there) and the mythical lore of the lords message drawing us in (there are Christian messages on some of the packaging apparently).

All were pleased with this. Pickles&Ammo was befuddled since he has never eaten anything but the Double Double Animal style that there were single patty burgers at the table. The production line in this place is awe inspiring. It puts JIT inventory babble and homemade GTD moleskines to shame all with only one register.

As far as fast food burgers In N' Out lives up to the reputation. It's dirt cheap, tasty, and makes you feel funny to order from the secret menu.

Yep, those fries are done up "Animal Style".

Nevada: Fatburger (Las Vegas)

Looks like a burgler bonanza. PicklesNAmmo, Burgermeister, VeggiePatty, and the Hamburgler splurge:

Fatburger is owned by Portland based Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. (at least its headquarters) and has a couple celebrity franchisee's like Queen Latifah and Montel Williams, but still not one in Portland to date.

They have 1/2 pounders, 1/3 pounders, baby burgers, fat fries, skinny fries, and homemade onion-rings, real milkshakes, and a salad wedge. Of course you top it with bacon, egg, chili, and cheese as well.

Make no mistake, this is fast food, but they do it a bit better. No complaints here.

Nevada: Burger Palace (Las Vegas)

Looks like Hamburgler sneaked away from all the other Portlander's in Las Vegas last week for the bar/nightclub/restaurant convention (of which due to OLCC a large portion of the products you probably couldn't legally use in this state):

This is just a warning. There are quite a few decent burgers in Vegas so don't go getting suckered into this one hidden inside the Imperial Palace.

See that one bite? That was the first and last bite. Horse meat. Avoid.

The "Dealertainers" there are kind of a funny gimmick though. If you gamble you can have your dealer be Alice Cooper (or at least a tall version), Madonna, Mike Jackson, The Blues Brothers, ect. Just wished they had a Rodney Dangerfield and they would of had my money.

Nevada: Le Burger Brasserie (Las Vegas)

Pickles&Ammo and Hamburgler find a proper breakfast somewhere in another long hallway between the Paris and Bally's:

When your theme is French of course all the burgers are titled with "Le". This place has the infamous $777.00 "777 Burger" made with Kobe Beef and Maine Lobster (caramelized onions, brie cheese, crispy prosciutto, and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar served with a bottle of Dom Perigon).

They also have a "gourmet" toppings list of crabmeat, seared Foie Gras, smoked salmon, and grilled shrimp.

Pickles&Ammo had the "Le Paris" up there with brie, caramelized onions, and smoked bacon. Yes, the onion ring tower named after the Eiffel Tower (kind of like if Red Robin was in Paris..........street signs indoors...)

Hamburgler kept it simple. Cheddar burger with Pomme Frites (thought that was Belgian?).

This place was pretty good. The burgers cooked rare, interesting toppings, nice execution. Tab came to about $30 with drinks. Not bad for Vegas.

Bonus Olive!
