Burger Bar in Las Vegas

We are frequent customers at The Burger Bar here in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Place

I remember that they allow people to bring in their own wine. I couldn't ever get a straight answer as to what the corkage charge was. We were planning a lunch there instead of deciding to go there because we were in the neighborhood. I planned to bring some wine and my Wife wanted to make sure corkage was allowed. After talking to several people we finally found out that corkage was allowed and there was no fee. My only regret is that I brought some

1985 Prieure Lichine and they no longer have lamb burgers. I have always liked the combination of Margaux and lamb. The lamb is still on the web site and it has been replaced with buffalo (bison). I wound up having a kobe burger with provolone, grilled onions and prosciutto. Being able to enjoy a gourmet hamburger with vintage wine is wonderful. I often say that I would rather have a $20 burger there than a $50 steak on the strip.

BTW I have no connection with the restaurant except as a frequent and very satisfied customer

Burgers and Bordeaux is a nice combo. How was the Prieure Lichine?

It was excellent. I wasn't really drinking it with an eye toward taking notes. The fact that they didn't have the lamb I was planning to order kind of threw me for a loop. I had stocked up on the 82 and 83 PL, but when it came time to get 2 bottles to take I couldn't find them. The PL is in the bottom of my cellar and those vintages are probably in the back. Since my back surgery last year I haven't been able to reach there. I am moving my cellar (25 feet) in a couple of months and I will reorganize then.

When I said how wonderful it was I didn't mention that they are now 100% non-smoking (as are all Nevada restaurants). A big problem previously was that it was very smoky. You can now taste the food and enjoy your wine.

That is a wonderful thing, Fred. Even my small Midwest community has now banned smoking indoors, which for a wine drinker is splendid news. It also sounds like Las Vegas is becoming a true restaurant town, what with Thomas Keller's outlet there and so many other emporia of haute cuisine.

thanks. When you get to the '83, I'd like to hear about it, I think '83 beats '82 in most Margaux.
