There’s a stylish little restaurant at the Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas that was still busy at midnight and references bacon in its name. BLT Burger is the chef’s interpretation of the classic American burger joint. From the looks of the menu, he took burger influences from all over the country and from several different eras.
The restaurant itself is presented very well and was full of what appeared to be happy customers. Their signature burger, the “BLT” is made with 7oz. of Angus beef, double smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and BLT burger sauce. I applaud any chef who takes the time to double smoke his or her bacon. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to eat at BLT burger on this trip, but I will be bringing my $13 with me the next time I’m in Vegas so I can try the BLT for myself.
For those of you with a sweet tooth, there’s even a special dessert bar, where you can order cakes, shakes, floats and ice cream to go.

Based on general aroma and a clean, stylish look, I give BLT Burger a preliminary Smaste™ rating of 30.0215. There’s also a BLT Burger in Manhattan.

One of the best burgers i have had in a long time. You must try this out next time you are in vegas. The Fries, Mozzarella Sticks and Onion Rings were also superb. Thanks for bringing back all the sweet memories. Here are some poorly taken photos:

BLT stands for Bistro Laurent Tourandel, after the chef– he has several other outposts including BLT Fish and BLT Steak. But he’s capitalized on a catchy name and the BLT drew me in, because I cannot resist the siren song of bacon.
I was also lucky enough to try the signature BLT burger recently, and it was outstanding (although not the best burger I’ve had in Vegas– that honor goes to Bradley Ogden, even though it was served sans bacon). The adult milkshakes are a nice accompaniment. If chocolate is your thing, try the Night Rider. Mmmmm.
