| - Looking for an easy place to eat before heading home on a Sunday, we found the Burger Bar in Mandalay Place, between Mandalay Bay and Luxor. The staff was pleasant and the music playing was just our speed.
There are a lot of beers on tap here, and the bartender (we sat at the bar) brought me a sample of something he thought I might like after I ordered. He was right, it was good.
The "design your own burger" concept is not new, but they have great options, better than any place I've seen before. I went with an Angus patty, ciabatta bun, jalapeno bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and caramelized onions. Perfection, served medium rare. My wife opted for the buffalo patty on whole wheat and kept it simple with cheddar cheese. This is not usual for her, but whatever, she enjoyed it. Sweet potato fries were good, about average for what we've had before.
We both walked away satisfied until an hour or so later at the airport when our dinner made an emergency evacuation. Both of us. This is the reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4. Hopefully just a fluke.
