My degenerate gambler Filipino in-laws have been bugging me and the wife to come to Vegas for a while now. If it's not around Labor Day or the first weekend of NFL, I might be down. I have a lot of reward points from MyVegas to burn and I haven't been out there since June of last year. Sucks that my favorite restaurant (Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay) closed though.

There are still a few good burger places around but I am not sure about that side of the strip.

the Ramsey place BURGR at p-ho always has a line, but seems a bit overpriced and we've never tried.

the pricing at some of these places is close to what the high end steakhouses charge.

Sis and I are big Ramsay fans, been to the Steakhouse every time and never been let down (it's $$$ tho), planning and excited to hit the Burger one too this year.

I've been to the Ramsay steakhouse in Paris and Hell's Kitchen in Caesar's, both are spendy but very good.

The Burger Bar had a burger that was like $60, but I would rank it along with some of the best meals I've ever had. Kobe-style Wagyu Beef from Australia, sautéed foie gras and shaved truffle. And the fries are the best I've ever had. I don't really drink any more, but they also had an awesome selection of Belgian ales to go along with the meal.

I originally went there because of an episode of No Reservations where Bourdain admitted that he couldn't make fries (which were his claim to fame when he was staring out as a head chef) better. The place was created by Hubert Keller, who most of the big-name chefs look up to, who wanted to have a more casual place.

yep, all of Keller's stuff got the boot last year or year before I think? We liked Burger Bar but had a terrible meal at Fleur.

I liked the Ramsey steakhouse, but too much other stuff to try to go back. We really liked Carnevino that used to be over at Palazzo, they used to have glorious burgers made from leftover bits of prime steak that you could grab at the bar.

Old Homestead at Caesar's was fantastic last time in.

I think it was sometime last year, they weren't open when I was there in June, but I never asked about it. I spent most of my limited time there in dingy-ass Slots-A-Fun drinking cheladas and playing Rolling Thunder. The "fanciest" I got was breakfast at the Peppermill.
