  • BLT Burger just opened today. It's a high-end burger restaurant with a big-name chef behind it like The Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay. The kitchen is open with a squad of sous-chefs furiously flipping meat like they were cirque du soleil jugglers; the decor is as thoughtful and deep as a Hallmark card; the staff are energetic and earnest as if they were about to auditon for "American Idol". The meat is ground by a butcher in the back; a combination of Black Angus sirloin, short ribs and chuck. The buns are made to order by La Brea bakery. The regular burger is very good ($9), but under-seasoned (you might want to add some salt). The various cheeses are $1 each. I had the sweet potato fries which were excellent with just the right degree of crispness. There is a good selection of draft beers; and a few choices of wines by the glass (there should be more than 3 in a restaurant with this pedegree). Not to mention that they serve it in Italian-bistro glasses instead of proper wine glasses. When I asked for dijon mustard, the very eager and agreeable barman brought me some packets of Grey Poupon (they had better fix that!). They also have an American Kobe burger ($17), a lamb burger, a chicken burger and a few other concoctions that didn't capture my attention. I was disappointed to see that there was a line behind a velvet rope, waiting to get in, even though there were many empty tables. One of the managers told me it was because it was opening night and they were just getting their bearings. I hope that's the case, and that they haven't fallen prey to the "manufactured exclusivity" hustle that other places indulge in, including The Burger Bar. I've got some advice for all those places that think diners will enjoy their food more if they are forced to wait for it: You're a restaurant, dammit, not an after-hours club! In any case, BLT is a good addition to the vast Vegas burger scene. It's not the best burger I've had here, but it's better than The Burger Bar, and way better than Burger Brasserie or Stipburger. So unless you're willing to go off-strip to an unadorned little joint like The Burger Stop where the outstanding Kobe Burger is half the price, BLT will do just fine.
