| - Do not let the hype scare you, you can get a great burger at the Burger Bar without spending more than $15. (or indulge yourself to an exclusive $60 burger!)
The Burger Bar is located right where the Mandalay Bay shops meet the Luxor. You get a lot of really unique choices of burgers but the real highlight of the Burger Bar is that you can completely customize your burger any way you like.
You can choose from different types of beef (including Angus, Kobe and my favorite Buffalo) as well as salmon and chicken and a huge variety of additional toppings.
The standard burger includes a choice of beef Kobe and Buffalo being the most expensive and succulent) along with lettuce, tomato, onion and dill pickle and your choice of bun (more than 7 choices if memory serves me correctly).
While the huge variety of toppings is tempting, keep in mind that you actually need to eat the burger and an additional 6 toppings will make a beef skyscraper that will require knife and fork to dispatch (not that there's anything wrong with that).
The burger is always cooked to perfection, I have tried both medium rare (my favorite) and medium and every time they were juicy, succulent and flavorful.
Their onion rings deserve a special mention, they are crisp and fried to perfection and you can still taste the actual onion inside them.
The Burger Bar also offers some generous milkshakes. My personal favorite is the caramel latte which also comes with 2 Graham crackers. Believe me, I work hard so I eat a lot and it's often difficult to finish big burger and the milkshake...
The staff is friendly and attentive.
On the negative side, the booths are just a bit cramped and the music is too loud for my senile worldview. Also depending on day and time there might be up to 30 minutes of waiting but that is expected for a restaurant on the Strip during rush hour.
Overall, the Burger Bar is an excellent place on the Strip to eat a juicy satisfying burger, made to your exact specifications without putting a huge dent on your wallet.
