Burgers, etc

[SuzyCreamcheese]

In a week I am off to my annual trip to the desert SW. This time I'd like to add in some good food for the brief time in actually in Vegas. Or maybe you know where I can get a killer burger in 29 Palms. Or the best breakfast in Page, AZ. I'm open to all good recommendations and there should also be a good tap.

C'mon Monkeys, spill it

Boa @ Caesars had a great Kobe beef burger but it was pretty damn expensive....like $200 expensive

you gotta be a giant douche if you order a $200 burger...

not if it was on the company dime. bill came out to be $2000 for the 5 of us.
i miss expense accounts.

youd have to be a giant douche if you didnt order one.


edit: and during CES, everything is marked up through the nose

with $400/head meals submitted, i'm surprised you actually got to use an expense account more than once.

unless you were hanging w/ Stoney's crew, where it's expected.

C'mon! This is MY dime so it's gotta be affordable and really good.

that was just for one night...i had to entertain for the 4 nights i was there. my credit card was smoking by the end of the week. the "cheap" nights were the nights we went to the Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood....which arent cheap.
i of course was expected to write $500k in business for the week

are you going to the strip at all or looking for something outside of town?

If it's worth it, I'll go to the Strip. Basically, though, I use Vegas as the launchpad to get over to Death Valley, etc. but I'll have a couple of nights in town, too.

I can only reccomend the Route 66 Dog Haus in Flagstaff cuz that is the only place i can remember having a burger in the SW....great grease bomb burgers, slaw dogs & my favorite the sea dog, shich is a fried piece of cod & american cheese in a hot dog bun covered in slaw. I approve of there fries too.

Wait, you're in Vegas looking for good cheap burgers??


There's really only one solution that fits that bill:

Burger Bar in the Luxor was pretty darn good with a nice beer selection.

BeerAdvocate review.

Edit: I would not pay $200 for a burger just out of principle. "Spend the money like it's my own" is my attitude towards my work related travel expenses. Then again, I don't have to schmooze.

Are you going to make it down to Sedona? Cowboy Club has a really good buffalo burger and Oak Creek/Four Peaks on-tap to go with it.

when customers give you $10mil/year in business, $2000 is nothing and is expected during CES.
it hurts your credit card at first but it obviously gets paid back 100% and i get the airline mileage because of it
