trip.\u00a0 Their burger was so good I had to go back and get another.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, is a casual place that does not require reservations.\u00a0 There are booths to sit at on the side, with tables in the middle, and a long bar on the other side (with stools.)\u00a0 On both nights I visited there were many people but we never had to wait more than five minutes to get in.\u00a0 The restaurant is owned by French chef\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hubert_Keller\">Hubert Keller<\/a>, of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Chef_Masters\">Top Chef Masters<\/a>\u00a0fame, who also owns the Fleur de Lys.\u00a0 Burger Bar is one of his less formal ventures but is successful in a few different states already.<\/p>\n<p>My wife and I were seated the first time at a table in the center of the isle.\u00a0 There was a lot of traffic around us but it did not get in the way of enjoying the food.\u00a0 The menu is pretty straightforward with choices of burgers (of course,) chicken sandwiches, and even a salmon burger.\u00a0 You can choose a huge variety of toppings to put on your burger ranging from onions to foie gras.\u00a0 You have a choice of a half-dozen or so cheeses along with any condiment you can imagine.\u00a0 For the meat you can pick \u201cregular\u201d hamburger or <a href=\"http:\/\/snakeriverfarms.com\/?gclid=CPSi1qPSu6ICFQoNDQodAmly5Q\">Snake River Farm\u2019s<\/a> American Kobe beef.\u00a0 Alternatively you can choose salmon or chicken.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_532\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a

($5),\u00a0and cheddar cheese ($3) and my wife had hers only with cheddar cheese.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We received our food in less than fifteen minutes and I could tell right away that the meat was not pre-formed.\u00a0 It fell apart when I picked it up and had an amazing texture.\u00a0 This is a far cry from the pre-formed patty I had at BLT Burger while in town and was superior in every way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The burger was moist, had a great flavor, and kept me wanting for more.\u00a0 The only thing I would change is to leave the bacon and cheese off of it (which I did the next time around.)\u00a0 My wife\u2019s burger was great as well.\u00a0 The sweet potato fries\u00a0I had on the side were okay, but I wasn\u2019t really paying attention to them.<\/p>\n<p>We had a great experience at Burger Bar and went back for another great time.\u00a0 I recommend stopping by if you are in town as you will not be disappointed!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Burger
