| - For years now, I have been a dedicated fan of Burger Bar over at Luxor/Mandalay Bay. That was the only place I would do burgers in Vegas because they were just so good. Every time I mentioned Burger Bar though, someone would always ask "Have you been to the burger place at the Paris casino before, it's just as good". Well, on my most recent trip to Vegas last month, I finally tried that "burger place at Paris". It's called Le Burger Brasserie and it is very good!
My wife and I stopped in and first noticed that they had a good "bucket of beer" special that consisted of 5 or 6 of the larger aluminum beer bottles in a bucket of ice for a decent price. We naturally started off with that and then ordered our food. I ordered the Kobe beef burger and my wife went for the turkey burger. Similar to Burger Bar, they have many different toppings for the burgers (although I don't think they have quite as many options as Burger Bar). I went with mushrooms and bacon on my Kobe burger. We also ordered two different kinds of fries, skinny fries and waffle cut fries. The food came out quickly and we dug right in. My Kobe burger was wonderful. My wife's turkey burger was very good too, but I think Burger Bar has a slight edge in the turkey burger category. The fries though....these were the best fries I have ever had. Amazingly good! They had some type of seasoning on them that faintly reminded me of those Hot Fries snacks you find in the chip aisle at the store. What a great taste. We ate every last crumb of the fries.
Overall, we had a fun time and a great casual meal here. Very good burgers and fries. As far as the competition goes between Le Burger Brasserie and Burger Bar, I still prefer Burger Bar, but this place is close behind them.
