Cheapest Burgers on (and Near) the Las Vegas Strip
We’ve seen all the reports about burger price gouging in Las Vegas and figured it was media hype. Just more rage bait for clicks. Then we started fact-checking. And now we’re the ones enraged.
Long story short, the Hamburgler would be charged with grand theft in this town at the price “restaurants” list their burgers.
We asked ChatGPT for help, but it spit out vague nonsense, so we actually had to dig through menus and reviews ourselves.
If you want skip the bullshit and aren’t the readin’ type, the 2 best deals on and near the strip are In-N-Out and Spearmint Rhino Las Vegas.
Yes, you have that right. A Christian family-owned burger chain and a posh strip club. That's it.
In-N-Out Burger – LINQ Promenade (Under the Giant Ferris Wheel)
A classic West-Coast burger chain who still keeps their integrity intact, and still one of the few true bargains on the Strip.
You’re paying around $11.40 for a Double Double, Fries and a Drink. Making it the undisputed value pick for anyone craving a burger and not a $30 “gourmet experience.”
The lines will be long, but In-N-Out doesn’t cut corners when it comes to quality, speed, and service.
Shake Shack - NYNY
Appropriately located in New York New York, many New Yorkers will claim that Shake Shack is better than In-N-Out. They’re wrong, and the late Anthony Bourdain can vouche for that. New York can have the pizza and schwarma, but stay in your lane when it comes to burgers.
The Double Shack Burger should be just under $10 here. Not a bad price for something found in a resort. Add a few bucks for fries. And you’ll probably want a shake too.
Village Pub & Café – Ellis Island
Ellis Island has a reputation of having low table limits, solid blackjack, and good hometown food without the price gouging of the strip. You’re still looking at $20 for a burger. Granted, they’re loaded with toppings and have 1/2 pound patties.
They advertise a $5.99 burger special (which is vague on what’s included) + a player’s club is required.
Spearmint Rhino Las Vegas - Slightly off the Strip
Known more for high-class adult entertainment than dining, their kitchen serves a very legit burger and fries combo for around $5 during happy hour (with fries and a drink). Just be careful, if you let the happy hour get too happy, that $5 burger and fries might turn into a couple of trips to the ATM.
If you’re going there for the burger, let the doorman know so that you can avoid any entry fees.
Yukon Pizza - North of the Strip
Their single smash burger is listed for $12 with the double at $15, and their website mentions Lunch Specials from 12-3pm and Happy Hour from 3-6pm with no specifics other than the hours. This location is off the Strip, so unless you’re at the Las Vegas Country Club or leaving the hospital, it may not be worth a $25 uber.
Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay - Caesars, Paris, & Harrah’s Resorts
All burgers are starting around $15.95 which isn't unreasonable for a burger in a resort. The pictures look amazing but with locations averaging 3.2 stars, the expectations were higher with a celebrity name attached.
These are not sit down restaurants - you apparently walk up and place an order.
If you’re looking for a household name, Gordon Ramsay Burger will run you around $20 ($26+ for specialty burgers) and you can find them at Planet Hollywood with 4.2 stars.
Broadway Burger Bar & Grill - NYNY Hotel
Once again, we’ve entered $18.95 burger territory. And they’ll throw an egg on top of it, because who doesn’t like sticky yolk on their hands as they’re playing slots and walking down the strip in 110 degree weather.
Whataburger – Las Vegas Strip, Between CVS and The Shops at Crystals
A new addition to the Strip but a classic joint across some Southern states. $12.50 for the Whataburger, $18.50 for the combo. And that’s a single-patty hamburger. Add $1.25 for cheese. Whatabaddeal.
Irv’s Burgers – Miracle Mile Shops
A simple cheeseburger comes in around $7.99 - and when we say “simple”, we’re talking Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder simple. The Classic Burger Combo will run you up to over $22 (includes double cheeseburger, fries and a drink).
Marilyn’s Café – The Tuscany Suites & Casino
Tuscany Suites is just around the corner from Ellis Island and has some great deals and promos. At Marylyn’s, you're in a $12.95 range for a solid burger or patty melt. And this is the closest you’ll find to a hometown cafe burger around the Strip.
If you want some true American Café hometown food you probably won't go wrong with this spot.
Conclusion
Vegas does a lot of things right, but with the Wall Street suits leading the way on scumbaggery and price gouging in this town, we need a market correction when is comes to deals and promos. And the Burger is a damn good place to start.
America’s official unit of measurement is the Cheese Burger - how the fuck can we disgrace the Red, White and Blue with over-priced, over-marketed mediocre soft-handed $18.95 “deals”.
That said, In-N-Out and Spearmint Rhino Las Vegas will be the two places to get the best burger for your buck.
