| - The last of the restaurants I ate at in the Aria Casino in Las Vegas.
It was my last night in Vegas before flying back home to Hawaii. If you've ever been to Hawaii, then you know that a good burger restaurant is an oddity. Don't even give me the Teddy's argument - my reviews on that speak for themselves. SO, needless to say, I'm always up for a good burger venture. Yes, I know In-N-Out was right down the road but in Vegas, walking a mile in heels at midnight was not at the top of my list and I was too impatient to wait for a taxi/Uber.
The reviews of this place sounded good so I said hey, why not. I walked across Aria's gaming floor to the poker area, where I heard Burger Lounge was located. Easier landmark? The taxi/valet entrance.
I waited behind a couple, for what seemed like a good bit of time. One of the managers (I presume, based on the way he presented himself) ushered me to another cashier (who was busy engaging in conversation with another employee). She seemed startled that I was in front of her, waiting to place my order. Otherwise, she seemed nice. I ordered a burger, well-done, with fries and a chocolate shake. I couldn't wait!! They give you a little hand-held remote thingy that other restaurants use to alert you when you're table is ready, only this one is for when your order is ready.
I sat at a long table, of which there aren't very many. Probably in your best interest to get this one to-go. My order came fairly quickly, and I asked for some extra mayonnaise to-go and they were easy to oblige. Immediately I tasted my chocolate shake - YUMMMM! I couldn't wait to get back to my suite to try the rest!!! The aroma of burger and fries was taunting me from my little paper bag.
Finally made it to my room and sunk my teeth into the juicy burger........ Even though I ordered it well-done, it came to me more of medium. *see picture* Because I was so hungry and it was so late, I mustered through it and tried not to think of the blood I was swallowing.
Meh. Had my burger been cooked to my liking, this place may have been ranked "up there". Customer service was pretty good, location was okay, food was decent. Will I come back? Only if I stay at the Aria again.
