1. Vegas Burger ($9.50, Bobby’s Burger Palace, The Shops at Crystals)

If it’s one thing that Bobby Flay knows, it’s how to work a grill. He parlayed that into opening his first burger joint, infusing his love and cultivation for American Southwestern cuisine into the recipes. Paying homage to the city that loves his bold touch, he couldn’t open a burger joint here without putting a Vegas Burger on the menu. This one comes with Certified Angus Beef, white American cheese, Fresno red chilies and barbecue crunch—basically a piled-high potato chip topping. We know, it’s genius.

2. Rossini Burger ($60, Burger Bar, The Shoppes at Mandalay Place)

This burger is rich, and we ain’t just talking about the price. We owe the sumptuous flavor combination of truffles, foie gras and a brown demi-glace sauce to 19th century Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, who loved the triple-flavor combination on many different dishes. Burger Bar’s tribute piles the flavors on to a patty of Kobe-style wagyu beef from Australia, and holds all the lavish goodness together with an onion bun.

3. The Hog Burger ($18, Gordon Ramsay BurGR, Planet Hollywood Resort)

Before the pig hit your plate in the form of The Hog Burger, he was roaming open, grass-cushioned fields, munching on clovers. Yes, the Mangalitsa pork used in this unique burger was sourced from pigs that were raised and matured with great care, resulting in the highest quality of flavor. In fact, Mangalitsa pork is so rare and coveted that Gordon Ramsay BurGR is the only place on the Strip where you can indulge. The Hog Burger, grilled over apple and alder wood, is topped with English sharp cheddar, apple butter and arugula, held together by a brioche bun.

4. Famous Blue Cheese Burger ($9.95, StripBurger, Fashion Show)

One wild and crazy night in Las Vegas, blue cheese strayed from its partner, hot wings. Eventually hot wings let blue cheese back in its life to continue their love affair, but one lone burger at StripBurger would never be the same. Look up the Famous Blue Cheese Burger on the Internet and you’ll find dozens of reviews touting its delectability. The 100 percent all-natural, ground-fresh-daily hamburger is served on a soft butter roll, topped with pickles, lettuce, red onion, tomato, fried onion strings and a big dollop of blue cheese sauce.

5. Iron Chef Sliders ($13, KGB: Kerry’s Gourmet Burgers, Harrah’s)

In 2005, rock ’n’ roll chef Kerry Simon was the first Iron Chef winner to claim best burger recipe. Even if the challenge was Brussels sprouts, we have a feeling Simon would have come out victorious as well, he’s that good. But, luckily for us, Simon succeeded with a beef patty, and you can indulge in his winning-recipe with the Iron Chef Sliders, topped with nothing more than cheddar cheese and tomatoes. To this day Simon won’t reveal the secret ingredient in the champion patty, and that’s OK. It makes eating it even more special.

6. The Tex-Mex Burger ($13, BLT Burger, The Mirage)

When it comes to nachos, picking up one loaded tortilla chip after the other can be so time consuming. And, there’s always that one piled-high-with-ingredients chip and that one lone-piece-of-shredded-cheese-stuck-to-it chip. So much uncertainty! BLT Burger solves that, and then ups the ante in taste with the Tex-Mex Burger. The 100 percent Certified Angus Beef burger is piled with chili, jack cheese, avocado, salsa, jalapeños, onion and sour cream.

7. Surf, Turf & Air Wagyu Kobe Burger ($30, Tender, Luxor)

Tender Steak & Seafood’s original Surf & Turf Burger (pictured) seems almost quaint compared with its upgraded version. Made with house-ground and grilled American wagyu Kobe-style beef, crab-tail medallion and crispy duck bacon, the flavors pop with the addition of oven-roasted tomatoes, seaweed artichoke slaw, horseradish pickles, watercress, truffle caviar aioli and homemade ketchup. A potato brioche bun completes the indulgent offering.

8. 777 Burger ($777, Burger Brasserie, Paris)

Forget paying rent. What’s more memorable? Staying in your apartment for another month or indulging in the 777 Burger? When you get your first taste of this culinary slice of hamburger heaven, you’ll quickly forget about the eviction notice. For $777, sink your teeth into a burger made with Kobe beef topped with two generous pieces of fresh Maine lobster, caramelized onions, imported Brie cheese, prosciutto and, for the flavor kick, 100-year aged balsamic vinegar. Forget that side of waffle fries (although a hearty handful comes with your order); this burger comes with your very own bottle of Dom Pérignon Rosé champagne.

9. The Kobe Burger ($28, N9NE Steakhouse, Palms)

If you’re hearing cheers associated with a Kobe these days, it’s probably for the burger and not the Bryant. The Kobe Burger at N9NE has been a longtime fan favorite, known for its delectable harmony of flavors. The Kobe patty is topped with crispy pancetta, perfectly gooey truffle cheese, balsamic burnt onions and held together by an equal meat-to-bread ratio bun. It’s accompanied by perfectly fried steak fries in roasted garlic aioli, served with a side of highly addictive toasted mustard seed ketchup.
