We all love Las Vegas because it is the home of over the top attractions and these hamburgers are no exception. If you hit the jackpot on your next Vegas vacation and money is no object then you definitely need to try these two exquisite (and expensive) Las Vegas hamburgers; The Fleurburger 5000 at Mandalay Bay and The 777 Burger at Paris Las Vegas.
The Fleurburger 5000 is probably the most expensive hamburger in the world costing a whopping $5000. Enclosed in a brioche bun, the patty is made with Waygu beef (cost $100 a pound) and topped with prime foie gras ($45 a pound) and sliced black truffles ($1,500 a pound). In actuality you aren’t really paying $5000 for the burger as it is complimented by a bottle of 1995 Petrus which often sells in restaurants for around $5-6k a bottle. To commemorate your burger experience you will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and get to keep the wine bottle.
If $5000 is too steep for your pockets than check out the 777 Burger at Paris Las Vegas. As the name states, the price of this delicious delicacy is $777. This burger has options as you have your choice of fresh baked sesame seed, caramelized onion, aged parmesan cheese, or oven dried tomato ciabatta as the bun for the burger. The patty is made with Kobe beef and topped with pancetta, goat cheese, seared foie gras, arugula, Maine lobster and 100-year aged balsamic. In reality you aren’t really paying $777 for the burger as this burger is also complimented with a beverage, a bottle of Dom Pérignon Rosé Champagne.
To be perfectly honest I haven’t tried either one of these burgers as my money is usually donated to a one armed bandit on the casino floor. So much for living like a high roller!
