My readership is growing regularly, and along with that comes my list of recommended burgers, which I believe is up to about 30 right now. A few of them have been on the list far too long, but a new comment posted to my site the other day got me excited enough about one to try it a day later. Dispensary Lounge sounds like an awful place, and by the looks of the pictures on Yelp it didn’t seem much better. I typically don’t trust Yelp reviews all that much either, but the comments on there made it sound a lot like Henry’s which I’m a big fan of, so I was quite motivated. Could a $3.95 burger at a local dive bar actually be any good? Continue Reading »
The very latest from the desk of the Vegas Burger Blog…
Delmonico Steakhouse
I feel like Twitter is pretty useless so far; I have an ok amount of followers I guess, but I feel like they’re all following so many people that anything I say gets lost in the mess of their feed. I could tweet all day and get very little response to anything aside from a couple loyal folks on there. And it was one such reader that led me to Delmonico recently for what he claimed to be an excellent burger. He’s a food writer in town so he should know what he’s talking about, right?

The Dillinger
I’m not sure how many of my readers regularly go out to Boulder City, but Vegas seems to be one of those places that everyone wants to visit. Tourists typically want to see the Hoover Dam so I’ve definitely made my way in this direction many times in the years I’ve lived here. Besides, Boulder actually has a cool little scene going on and The Dillinger is a bar I wish was located downtown around some of my other favorite spots. Since they opened, the folks at The Dillinger have been tweeting me to come try their burger. It took me a few months to actually make my way there, but now that I have I can say it was definitely worth the wait. Continue Reading »
VBB’s State of the Burger Address
Someone close to me recently pointed out that I have too many reviews in the 70-80 point range and that they’re not dramatic enough. I don’t think this is a fault of my own, but more the status of where we’re at with many of the burgers in town; a lot of above average choices, but not many that stand out and push themselves above that threshold of being fantastic. I couldn’t even tell you the last time I ate a new stand-out burger in town, and I eat at least one or two a week. In fact, I’ve had three burgers in the past week that didn’t satisfy me at all so I have been considering going back to Bachi again because I know they will at least deliver with something that I will love.

Skybox
My ‘Burgers to-do’ list in my phone is constantly growing, and I tend to knock off the ones I’m more excited about as opposed to places that have been on the list for a long time. Such is the case with Skybox at Aria, it’s been on my list for well over a year but I’ve had no desire to make my way in there. Having to be on the strip yet again for a meeting around lunch time I took the opportunity to check off one more typically avoided strip location. Was it worth the wait? Continue Reading »
The Pub at Monte Carlo
In a case of ‘I was in the building so I figured I’d try it out’, I had to be at the Monte Carlo this week for a meeting right around lunch time and thought I’d take that opportunity to try a new burger spot. While not a single person has recommended me to The Pub, I figured I’d try it out nonetheless as their menu listed several different options online and a friend said she had a great burger there. So have I stumbled across a hidden gem? Continue Reading »
Cheeburger Cheeburger
There have been many times when I knew right away that I was in love with a burger, but rarely have I disliked one instantly. That is until now of course, in the case of Cheeburger Cheeburger. I actually stated “I hate this bun” as soon as I swallowed my first bite, and it only went downhill from there. Read on if you dare. Continue Reading »
