Large, open dining areas with sports on wall-mounted screens sometimes come at the expense of being able to hear conversation or your server. Burger Brasserie’s warm wood interior circumvents that with an acoustic design that absorbs sound rather than contributing to clamor, providing an ideal environment for uninterrupted enjoyment of burgers, beer and the Bears vs. the Packers. The Paris Las Vegas restaurant’s all-star lineup of gourmet ground-beef creations deserves full focus, though; so don’t be surprised if a bite of burger results in having to catch up on the action through instant replays.

There’s plenty for pregame before the main course. Starter highlights include cheeseburger mac and cheese bites, gravy fries and bacon-wrapped sliders in “mini Long Island buns.” The gravy fries deserve MVP status, as the tower of fries is layered with Tillamook cheddar, scallions, pulled short-rib and gravy.

Mac and cheese bites are available with onion rings and chicken appetizers in a combo, but may only whet appetites for more if ordered in that fashion. Burger Brasserie’s addition of beef to the mix distinguishes these fried mac and cheese delights from similar spherical offerings on the Strip. Don’t pass them up.

Burger Brasserie knows how to make a beer pour look appetizing as well, providing more than 15 selections. If tastes run more towards handcrafted cocktails, the bar offers crisp and tasty Captain Morgan mojitos as well a vitamin C-fortified “Hangover Helper Bloody Mary.” But a chance to have an alcohol-infused shake should never be passed up, and Brasserie offers six, including peanut butter and chocolate with peanut butter cups and amaretto, and chocolate Nutella with Frangelico liqueur. Captain & Crunch explores unknown territory with actual Captain Crunch and Captain Morgan rum mixed with vanilla ice cream, but it’s a trip worth taking.

Settling on a main course is a difficult decision, somewhat ameliorated by the option of Angus beef sliders. The three sliders can be chosen from classic cheeseburger or Brasserie’s signature blue cheese and Paris burger styles. The main ingredient of the sharp-and-salty blue cheese burger comes exclusively from family-owned Shaft’s Cheese Company of California; while the Paris burger’s addition of Brie to caramelized onion and smoked bacon should definitely be experienced. For the ultimate encounter, try the $777 Kobe beef and Maine lobster burger, served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon champagne.

Turkey and chicken come between buns as well, and there are sandwich selections for people that just don’t want a beef burger. The lamb burger is an excellent alternative, hitting the spot with mushrooms, feta and cucumber trimmings. If there is any room left, desserts are off the menu but hard to resist. The s’mores cheesecake with marshmallow ice cream is enough for two, well worth setting aside a few minutes for digestion and taking in a few plays. Sight lines to televised games are in every direction, but once dinner is served, your focus will certainly be on the food.
