And in an eating mecca like Las Vegas, you can bet all your chips that there are some sublime Vegas burgers to be savored. With so many excellent places to choose from, where does one find the best burgers in Vegas? Fortunately, many of us have had the pleasure of sampling the many establishments offering up the charbroiled goodness. If you’re spending a few days in our town and want to fit in a few pounds of ground round, please allow us to give you a quick tour of our favorite Las Vegas burger places.
Victory Burger
Let’s start with some of the bolder burger varieties on offer here in Las Vegas. Victory Burger features top-notch Angus beef in delectable combinations that will blow your mind. Get all cheesy with the Fondu Burger, covered in melted Blanco cheese sauce, or embrace the consequences of the night before with the Hangover Burger. No matter what you pick, you’ll win with Victory Burger! Be sure to pair your burger with one of the many beers on tap while watching games on the big (biggest in the world!) screen at Circa Sports.
Capon’s Burgers
One of the best burgers to be found in Vegas comes from Capon’s. Using a custom beef blend (that doesn’t quite taste like any other) and topping it all off with a potato bun makes for a unique, tasting experience. You can go with the classic, which includes a “secret shmear,” or get a little fancier with their Black Jack, which includes black truffle aioli. This spot is pretty popular with true burger aficionados and is definitely worth a stop if you want to try something different.
Gordon Ramsay Burger
If this one sounds like it may be a little fancy, we don’t blame you. Gordon Ramsey, the celebrity chef behind the popular “Hell’s Kitchen” reality series, evokes refined vibes. So, what is his take on the humble hamburger? Well, the Hell’s Kitchen Burger features asadero cheese, roasted jalapeños, and avocado. Sounds alluring, doesn’t it? This Vegas burger place also offers more traditional burger choices, as well as intriguing selections, like the Ultimate Cheeseburger with provolone, Dubliner, and Boursin cheeses.
Bacon Nation
We probably already had you with “bacon,” but this Vegas burger spot has so much more to offer. As the name suggests, pork belly is what’s featured here, and it’s always thick cut. Whether you’re seeking breakfast items or a classic BLT, Bacon Nation’s offerings will let you cut your teeth on some serious cured pork meat. But it’s the Bacon Nation Burger you really need to try here. With the “SUPER THICK BACON” added between the brioche buns, this is one you will never forget!
Fuku Burger
It’s East meets West in this amazing fusion approach to the classic hamburger. Fuku Burger is a true Las Vegas attraction thanks to its unique flavoring. They make their burgers with “fuku sauce,” a jealously guarded proprietary recipe. It’s so tasty, when you bite into a burger here, you’ll know it because nothing else hits that mark. Perfectly umami and totally addictive, Fuku has been voted the best burger in Vegas more than once and has fostered a cult following. You’ll have to taste your own to find out why!
Black Tap
There’s nothing quite like washing down your burger with a good beer, and Black Tap is just the place for that perfect pairing. The burgers here are special because the proprietors make one simple cooking choice: instead of using oil, these hamburgers are cooked in their own fat. That makes for a cleaner taste that takes full advantage of the beef’s savory properties. Level up with the Wagyu Steakhouse Burger, and if you’re not that into beer, try one of the “CrazyShakes” milkshakes that feature everything from cake batter to Fruity Pebbles.
Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews
Some say that variety is the spice of life, and that’s definitely the case over at Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews. There are literally 50 different kinds of burgers on offer here. The Classics have familiar selections like patty melts and mushroom Swiss choices. The quarter-pound Wagyu menu includes bleu cheese and jalapeño offerings. When you reach the “Supercharged” section, get ready for anything from the Breakfast Skillet loaded with eggs, gravy, and tater tots to Hot Momma’s ghost pepper cheese challenge.
Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar
Another celebrity chef makes the cut here in our best Vegas burger choices, and this time, it’s none other than Guy Fieri! For fans of the boisterous TV kitchen personality, high expectations are understandable. Fortunately, the man delivers! The Bacon Mac N’ Cheese Burger is the one that wins awards in this spot, from the generous helping of bacon to the garlic-brioche bun. If you need something just as fancy but more basic, the Prime Time Kobe Burger is your ticket.
Slaters 50/50
Bacon lovers, here’s one to try if you dare. Slater’s 50/50 has a whole bunch of amazing burgers to try, from a delectable Wagyu Dip to the oversized onion ring madness of the Lone Star Smoke. But the “50/50” stands for the signature house burger: a patty that’s half beef and half bacon. That’s right! Fifty percent of what you’re biting into is pure pork belly! And if that’s too much for you, you can choose from a wide range of other offerings, spanning Pizza Burgers to the $135 “Whale Burger.”
In a city known for its indulgence and extravagance, Las Vegas offers an impressive array of burgers that will satisfy any craving, from the classic to the wildly inventive. Whether you’re a fan of bacon-packed creations, gourmet blends, or adventurous fusion flavors, there’s no shortage of spots to sink your teeth into burger perfection.
