Broadway Burger bar, New York New York, Las Vegas



Las Vegas is teeming with places to eat and drink and the massive choice like the grand City itself can be quite daunting. Keen to sample as much of the American experience as possible we decided this was the day (and the place) where we would try our first burger and fries on these shores.

 

 

It was therefore fortuitous for us that in our Hotel, in the back drop of soho New York, that the Broadway burger bar could be found. We had previously reviewed its extensive burger menu and with the variety of  vegetarian choices for me, it clearly seemed like this was as good a place as any to have this ubiquitous meal.

 

 

 

I am familiar with the insertion of the portabello mushroom between the sheets of a bap to constitute the 'burger', but I was also taken with the panko crusting and pairing with artichoke and tomato relish and guacamole in the Bella burger. Gipsy Spread channelled his inner Woody (Toy Story) and opted for the Cowboy burger which was a beef pattie topped with applewood smoked bacon, barbecue sauce, crisp onions and pepper jack cheese. We then had to pick our fries. Hand cut, skin on and topped with plenty of garlic, yes please.

 

 

We were ravenous when it arrived and dove in hungrily. We were not to be disappointed, having waited a full 10 days since our arrival for this classic American dish. My burger was crispy and the mushroom juicy and flavourful. It was complemented wonderfully by the slightly sweet and tangy relish and nutty guacamole. Gipsy Spread was equally as enamoured with his and we both thoroughly enjoyed the fries, topped with plenty of fresh garlic to keep the vampires at bay.

 

One of the things that I love about the US is their wide range of chilli sauces, various heats, an array of different chilli peppers and colours. Here, they also asked me what chilli sauce I wanted and with the excitement clear on my face, the waitress bought me all of them to pick and choose from. Needless to say I gave most of the hot ones a go.

 



 



So, if you are ever in Las Vegas and wanting to sample the local fare, this is not only as good a place as any, but perhaps a far better place than most for a burger. I'd suggest tying a visit into a trip on the New York New York roller coaster which soars over the top of the restaurant. I would suggest however, that you do the roller coaster first.
