The 14 Best Burgers in Las Vegas, According to Eater Editors | Eater Vegas

"The burger at Absinthe far surpasses the kind of concession-stand fare one might expect just outside a circus. A soft pretzel bun comes layered with two short rib and brisket patties, smashed with grilled onions so that the edges are charred and caramelized, melted American cheese, tangy secret sauce, and a generous handful of thick-cut dill pickles. The vegan version is nearly identical. Chow down with a side of star-shaped tots in the Green Fairy Garden pre-show staging area or take it with you past the zigzag of hedges to the speakeasy-style Pier 17 Yacht Club bar. Hot shots and big spenders may be tempted to order the Yacht Tots — which come with creme fraiche and caviar. Know before you go: No tickets are required to enter the Green Fairy Garden if ordering a burger or entering the bar." - Janna Karel
