I visit Burger Bar @ Mandalay Bay every time I come to Vegas.
I'll list my most recent experience.
I had a $50 resort credit to use. So Brian being Brian, I order the Surf & Turf Burger. The Surf & Turf Burger is Black Angus beef burger wit half a grilled lobster, grilled asparagus and a plain bun. I eliminated the asparagus and kept the lovely lobster. This was like $24.25. Would I buy this with my own cash? No way. However, how often do you have lobster on a burger...........most likely never.
I always order the fat fries with my burgers here because they are so utterly delicious.
Now here are some bad things people will say.
-It's a little expensive. Yes, there is no disputing that. The burgers are a little pricey, as are the beers. Guess what, who cares? If you want to save money go to the buffet. You could get a cheaper burger at In-Out Burger if you're so inclined.
-It's a simple burger place, why are the people so loud? The staff here likes to have fun. They may be a little loud, as would the customers. This is not L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. This is a simple, yet good restaurant that should be affordable for most people.
-This isn't in Mandalay Bay! Well, technically it's not. It's in Mandalay Place which attaches the Luxor to Mandalay Bay. I will for strategical purposes, state that it is in Mandalay Bay.
Despite the complaints, I know though, when I come to Las Vegas...........I stop here. The serving sizes are huge, the food is delicious and the staff is friendly. 5 stars. *Note: I should have given this 5 stars over a year ago*
