Long gone are the days of Mickey D’s or In N’ Out to fulfill your burger desires in Sin City. This Summer, famed chef Laurent Tourondel took burgers to a whole new level at his recently opened BLT Burger in the Mirage Hotel. BLT Burger is a casual atomosphere with flat screen TVs and rock music playing in the background. Still expect nothing casual about the burgers being served at BLT Burger. They are all 100% beef, with all the fixings on fresh soft buns. You will also pleasantly find an extensive wine list, signature cocktails, and 35 beers on hand to pair with your gourmet burger of choice. Now we’re talking!
Burger Bar in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, by chef Hubert Keller of Fleur de Lys also serves up juicy mouth watering gourmet burgers in a sleek setting. A particular favorite of many is the Build Your Own Burger where you can create your own gourmet burger masterpiece. Save room for desert for the Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger or the Creamy Cheesecake Burger. Burger Bar also offers options for Vegetarians and Vegans.
If your taste buds are craving something a bit more extravagant, head over to Joel Robuchon’s one star Michelin restaurant, L’ATELIER at the MGM Grand where you can enjoy a decadent Le Burger made of foie gras, aged beef and carmelized bell peppers on a sesame bun.

Great review! I’m definitely trying this place next time I go to Vegas.
Thanks. I had been looking for this recipe for a Kobe burger article: http://www.gastronomicfightclub.com/blog/food/2009/06/kobe-burger-recipes-wagyu-beef.cfm
I’ll make sure to link this up.
Opps, sorry, posted my comment on the wrong page, I meant to post it on your Hubert Keller’s Fleur Burger Recipe page
