A little bit off-strip, 5 minutes south of Mandalay Bay, go East on Windmill (Blue Diamond hwy in the other direction) to Bermuda is Bachi Burger. Great burgers, asian flair, awesome sides, braised pork belly dumplings...a deal compared to strip pricing.

To me Burger Bar is over rated. Very pricey, dry and somewhat flavorless.
Place is kinda dirty too.In N Out is better to be honest.

Amen, Burger Bar has fallen apart. I sent mine back twice and finally gave up. The manager lied and told me that they have never seasoned the burgers. IMHO this place has been sliding down for about three years.

I Love Burgers at Pallazo is pretty solid, and the shakes are great.
LBS out at Red Rock was solid--not amazing---but solid.
The young chef (Eli Fortney) at KGB burgers at Harrahs is really good and turns out solid food.
I hear Mon Ami Gabi at Paris is great, but I have not tried it yet.
I am a fan of BLT at Mirage. They grind their own custom blend on-site. The deep fried pickles were a revelation.

Bradley Odgen has walked away from his namesake restaurant, and the burger is now a sad, oily thing. I had it last month, and it was a PASS.

My favorite burger, hands down, is the burger at Olives at the Via Bellagio shops. In my opinion, it is the best burger in the country, and I have been on a quest for 10 years. I know for a fact that it is on the lunch menu, but I can't vouch for its availability on the dinner menu.

Can't wait to try this on my next visit, since Bradley Ogden sets the bar pretty high for me.
I did have one of my favorite lunches ever at Olive's a couple years ago- an heirloom tomato Napoleon that was beyond divine.-----

I think it was about 16 bucks.
Note: I tried the same burger at the NYC location, and it was AWFUL

Sadly, the burger at Olives is no longer good...new ingredients and a change of staff, and it is just over-priced chuck. Holsteins over at The Cosmopolitan is pretty amazing, though. It was fine dining on a bun.

Never mind. Chef Thomas Cullen departed Holstein's, and it was no longer amazing after his departure. BLT was very good, though.

On my most recent trip I had the pleasure of going across the street from Wynn to Strip Burger for lunch. Wasn't overly excited about it and as we got to the other side of Las Vegas Blvd. an attractive gal walked up to me with what looked like a business card (oh not this again) only to discover that she was giving me a 2 for 1 margarita from…Strip Burger. I have to say I was impressed with not only the burger but the fries and the out-of-this-world onion strings. Man they were GOOD! Also had In-n-Out on this trip and as always was a great burger. It really depends on what you are looking for. Personally, no reason to all the way to the other end of the strip and hit the "other" gourmet burgers as the Strip Burger is pretty darn close in terms of quality. And if you travel all the way down there why not just go to In-n-Out for a fraction of the price?

I love LOVE foie gras but don't care for it on a burger. I find it distracting at best. however, I love it in tournados rossini. so go figure.... If you've never had it, I'd try it first in a more traditional presentation. The best ways I've enjoyed it have been seared and served with cooked fruit like orange segments or pear slices, but there are a zillion ways that its great.

I'd try foie gras on something else before having it on a burger... not that it's especially an acquired taste (it took me all of two seconds to acquire a taste for it), but I think I would prefer to enjoy it on its own in a more traditional presentation.

I grew up in Hungary with a completely different perspective on foie gras. Most see it as an exotic delicacy. For me, it was peasant food. During the last century, Hungary was a major producer of goose liver and most was exported to France. Buying retail in country was difficult. Virtually the entire supply was exported. What was available was canned in one kilo cans. That's pretty much a whole liver. My mother would take it out of the can and gently sear the outside in schmaltz and garlic to get rid of the metal can taste. She then put it in the refrigerator to cool down again.
As a kid, a perfect lunch was an open face sandwich on country bread smeared with schmaltz (chicken fat). That's it. Maybe a sprinkle of salt. As a treat, when it was available, a slice of goose liver.
If you are ever faced with a burger with foie gras, take it. But hold the beef and substitute schmaltz for mayo.
