| - Yelp 365 Challenge #147/365 (Las Vegas Adventures)
After shopping at Buffalo Exchange, everyone was hungry. However, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law was craving Panda Express. It must have been the heat because I wanted to laugh and tease her that we can get Panda Express any time in Hawaii! But, she's a sweetheart and I had to look up the nearest Panda Express.
During this time, my husband who was driving the other vehicle shared he wanted Jamba Juice (grrrr...like I know where everything is in Vegas, right?)
Since we were on the opposite side of town from our vacation rental, I figured it would be feasible to drive closer to our vacation rental and find a Panda Express and Jamba Juice considering our first event for the family reunion was that night.
We didn't end up at Jamba Juice. However, I was happy to see that the Panda Express was located in the same area as the Super Walmart that we shopped at the night before!
In my mind, I kept saying "I don't want Panda Express. I'm not feeling oriental. I'm not feeling beef broccoli! Wait...there is no In and Out but what is Elevation Burger?!"
I zoomed in on that sign and shared with my husband to sit in the car with our grandson who was fast asleep with the AC running.
I walked in and thank the heavens...NO LINE
I looked at the menu and the sides were ala carte to the burger. The prices looked pretty decent for a burger with me not registering (again) that the fries were around the same price as the burgers (I noticed in a recent review they've brought down the price of the fries).
I ordered two cheeseburgers (you have your choice of cheese and condiments added).
They didn't have the bottled water drink that was on the menu but the cheap Nestlee bottled water that was the same whopping price of the other brand bottle water.
The soda machine was the prettiest and coolest thing ever for this island girl because I thought it was a water machine. Nope. It is a soda machine that I though only served Fanta Orange soda with the other cola flavors. I was wrong! As I pressed the fanta button..ASSORTED flavors under FANTA popped up. If I could play around with that machine, I would have done that but that alone would have gotten me kicked out.
The place is pretty roomy, airy, and clean.
Customer service is friendly and easy-going.
The total price is not friendly at all but with organic beef when is it cheap, right?
For two burgers, drinks and fries...we paid a whopping $23 (Whopping must be my word of the day).
However, when we bit into the burgers...I didn't mind the price at all. It was juicy, big, messy but so worth the calories consumed (I entitled myself to indulge on the vacation...not much, though).
In my humble opinion, Elevation Burgers in Vegas surpassed Burgers on the Edge on Kapahulu :)
Viva Las Vegas!
