There are basically two kinds of burgers out there. The regular ones are made with commercial ground beef and the ones with better tasting patties are fresh ground in-house. I haven’t tried all the ground-in-house burgers in Vegas yet but they are the only ones I will eat. You really don’t go back to commercial beef after trying most ground in house burgers.
The burger above is the 10 oz. Market Street Burger from MRKT Sea & Land Restaurant at Aliante Casino/Hotel in North Las Vegas. This one was the most expensive of the burgers ($26. at the time of my visit) I was expecting it to be the best….
I asked about the patty and was only told that it was mostly filet mignon. This burger was white cheddar cheese (left off at my request because you taste the meat more without the cheese), caramelized onions, tomato, wild arugula, dijonaise, griddled potato bun, with parmesan garlic fries.
For whatever reason this burger today was juiceless and dry on the ends. It also lacked a good flavor. Possibly whoever was cooking might have squished all the juice and flavor out of the burger? Or maybe the blend of meat to fat ratio was off? Or maybe there is another reason??????????????? This burger is at the bottom of my ground-in-house-burger list. I should note that I did enjoy a steak dinner special here so I will come back to try a steak or fish next time.

At another Boyd restaurant called Carved Prime Rib at The Canney Casino/Hotel also in North Las Vegas……The ground- in -house PRIME Rib burger was very good. Also cheaper ($20. at the time of my visit).
This one is a 10 oz. ground-in-house prime rib burger patty with Swiss cheese (left off at my request to taste the beef better), mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, brioche bun, skinny fries. This one is juicy and has a good flavor to it. Not crazy about the skinny fries but I have to give them credit for cooking them to perfection and serving an extra generous portion in a heated bowl that stayed hot the whole time.

Jerry’s Famous Coffee Shop at Jerry’s Casino also offers a ground-in-house NYStrip & top round burgers in THREE different sizes. Below is a 1/2 lb burger with sweet potato fries.
It’s a pretty basic burger with nice grill marks. It t DOES have a nice burger taste. The roll is a little large for the burger but they get POINTS for serving a fresh baked bun from Jerry’s Bakery. I also note that the sweet potato fries today are especially good with a crisp exterior and a great sweet potato flavor……I don’t recall the exact price for the burger but remember that it was very reasonable.
So far the best two I’ve tried are next in no particular order. This one is the Signature Burger from Echo & Rig.
WOW! Now this burger gots lots of flavors……..Inside it is bib lettuce, heirloom tomato, red onion and aioli……the fries are a little dried out today but the burger today is super great! (at the time of my visit the price was only $17)

The other really great burger (so far) was the smoked and grilled ground-in-house brisket burger from Soulbelly BBQ.
The brisket burger is served with American cheese special sauce and a pickle. An alternative suggested serving is topped with slaw that I got but also with special sauce. I think they cooked it slightly less than the medium I asked for but I do have to say that this is another FORKING Delicious burger full of all kinds of flavors. (at the time of my visit was only $18)

These were the ground-in-house burgers that I tried in Las Vegas……SO FAR. (P.S. I know there is a ground in house prime burger served at Summer House in The Durango)
My husband said that it was a good burger. I’ll have to try it next time.
