| - I finally made it to Burgr for lunch on my last day in Vegas and did not leave disappointed. I had trouble finding the restaurant on my first day due to the many points of entry for the Mile Mall, but the easiest way to remember is that it's right near the half-price tickets office. The main entrance with three escalator-walk-paths going up takes you to the Planet Hollywood side of the mall, so continue along the outside past two more entrances and you should see the ticket booth. Burgr is right inside that entrance, on the left.
Once you've actually found the restaurant, you will probably have to wait in line to be seated, and then it may take a while for service - I can't really fault the restaurant for being popular, and they really do a good job managing the massees. Burgr opens at 11 am daily, so the best way to avoid waiting is to come around 10:50 and have an early lunch. I only had to wait for a few minutes outside and then was seated immediately with excellent service at the bar.
I ordered the Hell's Kitchen Burger and standard fries. There are a lot of other interesting choices on the menu, but I wanted to try something fairly typical and compare it to other burgers I've had. The fries are good, but nothing really to write home about. They come with chipotle ketchup and curry ketchup, and far too many thick-cut fries for an individual to eat. A little pricey at $8, but definitely a nice complement to the burger. The burger on the other hand IS worth writing about. I savored every bite of the Hell's Kitchen burger, which was cooked perfectly at medium-well. The bun is one of the best burger buns I've ever had, and the jalapeno and avocado toppings went very nicely together.
I would come back for round two in a heartbeat, although I'll probably try Ramsay's other restaurant, Steak, next time I come to Vegas. Props to the bartenders for being energetic and helpful at 11 AM on a Friday dealing with a bunch of tourists.
