1. In-N-Out Burger Las Vegas - Is This The Best
While traveling in the Southwest everyone seemed so eager to share their favorite food stories with me. So much so that I soon realized that the common theme was that the best burger in Las Vegas was In-N-Out Burger. Of course, I tried to explain that I like to sit and watch a game at a bar and have a burger. Hence, I like a cold beer with my beef between the buns, to no avail, everyone frowned on my assumption that the perfect burger in Las Vegas must be accompanied by a beer. People really love In-N-Out burger and they are correct, In-N-Out Burger is quite amazing, just don't expect to have a beer and don't expect to pay too much. In-N-Out is easilythe cheapest meal on this list.

The sliders at First Food and Bar are remarkable. They will make you ponder why you choose to have one big burger when you can have four smaller versions of the one great burger. Sit at the Bar and have the sliders or grab a window seat and look out onto the Las Vegas strip. What ever you do, make sure you try the sliders at First Food and Bar at the Palazzo Las Vegas.

This might be the new best burger in Las Vegas. Juicy, tasty, inventive and all for the right price. This is not for the novice burger aficionado. If you know burgers, you will love BLT at the Mirage.

The dining room is comfortable and the burgers are quite tasty. I usually sit at the bar and have a burger that is best as plain as possible. Don't waste time with condiments, the mark of a good burger can be identified when the meat between the bread needs no help. The Burger Bar at Mandalay Place can serve you an outrageously expensive burger but all you need is the simple Angus burger and you will be fine.
5. Le Burger Brasserie at Paris Las Vegas
Beer from a bottle and a burger. Simple meals always taste better and considering the friendly atmosphere you might want to make this a regular stop whenever you are in Las Vegas. The classic burger is all you need but you might not want to miss the waffle fries. They will help you down the road to clotted arteries but they will tantalize your insides.
6. McFadden's at the Rio
If you enjoy beers with your burgers and a loud room where you might end up dancing on a table, McFadden's is your choice for a burger in Las Vegas. While it is not always a loud party atmosphere the burgers are consistently flavorful. Grab a seat at the bar strike up a conversation and have a meal that is inexpensive and very satisfying.
7. Postrio at The Venetian Hotel
Wolfgang Puck can make a burger?, Yes, it is a simple thing to construct but a good hamburger takes skill and the people at Postrio at the Venetian can deliver a quality burger in Las Vegas. Sit outside and watch the people in the Piazza at the Venetian. Order a bold red wine and get comfortable with a burger that you will not soon forget.
8. Top of the World at the Stratosphere Hotel
With a view of all of Las Vegas and a wine list that will help you digest a burger that will delight you, this is one of the hidden gems in Las Vegas for a memorable lunch. Don't waste your time here for dinner, the middle of the day is when you should be eating a burger with a view of the strip.
9. Margaritaville at Flamingo Las Vegas
If you thought I would leave out my favorite Cheeseburger in Paradise you have not been reading enough about Las Vegas. The formula for fun in Las Vegas is simple, eat, drink and make a lot of noise when you are doing it. Why not listen to Jimmy Buffet as you devour a burger and fries? While you are at it have them pour you a boat drink. In fact sing a Jimmy Buffet song, or two, while you eat and forget all the worries of responsibilities and float away to the Land of make believe in Las Vegas.

Have a Burger at the bar. Have them put chili and some grilled onions on that piece of beef. You better order a beer as well. Now, look around and listen to all that is being said around you. Laugh, drink and have fun. Don't be offended if someone mocks you and allow yourself to have a good time.
