| - I finally got to eat at BLT Burger on a recent trip to LV. I had originally tried to go there back in July 2008 when we had tickets to LOVE, but there was some sort of incident that closed the restaurant down and we had to find another option. It had remained on my radar ever since though.
We went on a Monday evening, arriving something between 8:30 - 9:00 p.m. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. We also got a nice table right by the breezeway, which led to some nice people watching and a game I like to call 'real or fake'.
The service was good all-around, quick, friendly and the server even was kind enough to fake laugh at some of my jokes. I ordered the #2 combo, which is a basic burger (with cheddar), fries (waffle style) and a milkshake (nut job). The burger was good, but nothing particularly stood out about it. The waffle fries were below average, a little too much seasoning I though. The milkshake tasted pretty good, but the one problem with it was that it came with two HUGE straws (if you've ever been to Panera Bread and gotten a frozen drink, like that, but I think bigger). I didn't try, but I'm pretty sure I literally could have fit three regular sized straws within this straw. Anyways, the straw sucked, and not in the good way, I wasn't even able to get all the milkshake from the glass. I also tried one of the wife's onion rings and it was average at best.
The remainder of the party was basically 'meh' about this place. I didn't think it was a great value, but we were in Vegas, so what can you expect. I can't imagine going back there when there are so many other restaurants I'd like to try in Vegas. Solid three.
