Do you crave a juicy cheeseburger almost every waking hour of the day like me? Thankfully, Las Vegas has several stand out restaurants that feature some of the best burgers on the planet. I have lived in Las Vegas (on and off) for the last three years and after a thorough investigation, here's what I discovered.
More in depth info on the best burgers in Las Vegas after the jump....
Here's an inside look into five of my favorite places to chow down on a burger in Sin City...

Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay
1. Burger Bar
Address: 3930 Las Vegas Blvd.
Phone: 702-632-9364
The Burger Bar is located in Mandalay Place (the shopping area in between Luxor and Mandalay Bay). The owner is renown restaurateur Hubert Keller.
At Burger Bar you can choose from a selection of their signature burgers or if you prefer, you can build your own which involves eight categories of toppings including shrimp, salmon, lobster, foie gras, three kinds of mushrooms, truffles, and even cranberry sauce. They offer up sweet potato fries and my favorite... buffalo shoestring fries which are spicy and delicious.
Burger Bar features American Kobe beef, which is the most expensive on the menu, but you can choose to build your burger using Black Angus beef, Ridgefield Farm beef, or Colorado Lamb.
The Rossini Burger is listed at $60.00 and named after a 19th century Italian composer. Here's what you get... Kobe beef, sauteed foie gras, shaved truffles, Madeira sauce, on onion bun.
Another popular selection is the Surf & Turf Burger. For $24.00, you get Black Angus beef, grilled half lobster, and grilled green asparagus on plain bun.
If you have enough room for dessert, try their dessert burgers made out of donuts!
Burger Bar is an extremely popular eatery. They do not take reservations, so expect a long wait. Trust me, it's worth it. The best time to go to Burger Bar are off peak-hours (in between lunch and dinner).
They are open at 10:30 am and close at 11pm. They're open until 1am on Friday and Saturday.

In & Out Burger
2. In & Out Burger
Address: 4888 Dean Martin Dr. (which used to be called Industrial Dr.)
There are seven In & Out locations in Las Vegas. The closest In & Out burger to the Strip is located off of Tropicana on Dean Martin Drive. In & Out Burger is a 10-15 minute walk from the south Strip area (MGM or Excalibur), but most taxi drivers would be happy to take you via the drive through. It's not uncommon to see a few taxis waiting in line.
The burger chain operates primarily in the west coast. Their workers are some of the highest paid fast food servers in the world, which means you get excellent service.
You can never go wrong with In & Out. The burgers are juicy and their fries are made from scratch and cooked in vegetable oil. I usually order a double-double with Animal Style fries. Their shakes are some of the best in the business.

Le Burger Brasserie at the Paris
3. Le Burger Brasserie
Address: 3655 Las Vegas Blvd S
Phone: 702-946-4346
Located in the promenade connecting Paris to Bally's, Le Burger Brasserie is a French interpretation of the American classic food stuff... the burger. Le Burger Brasserie is the place to go to in Las Vegas if your palate desires a high-end gourmet burger. The chefs prepare burgers using chicken, salmon, lamb and veggie creations along with beef.
According to the website, "The restaurant's signature dish is the $777 Kobe Beef and Maine Lobster Burger, topped with caramelized onions, imported Brie, crispy prosciutto and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar and served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon champagne."

Kilroy's
4. Kilroy's
Address: 1021 S Buffalo Dr, Las Vegas
Phone: 702-363-4933
Kilroy's has been honored by numerous Las Vegas publications for having the best burger in Las Vegas. Even the Food Network once bestowed Kilroy's with their "Best burger in Las Vegas" honor.
Kilroy's opened their doors in 1991 and has been serving locals ever since. Tourists have been making the trek out to Summerlin to feast on their burgers. They make their burgers with ground-chuck with a few special spices including BBQ sauce.
The service was a little slow and inattentive
