Vegas locals skip the Strip for strip-mall burger joints like BEST BURGER, where a thin, crispy-edged patty and paper bag of fries beat casiPhoto: Matt Krick via Google

Vegas has a burger problem, and it's a good one: the city has quietly stacked up more serious griddle work in anonymous strip centers than most tourists will ever find. The casinos sell the spectacle, but the people who live here are driving to Sunset Road, Industrial Road and Decatur for a thin, crispy-edged patty and a paper bag of fries.

Here's how this list was built. We read 5,933 reviews across 150 places (100 each for the 73 contenders); 942 reviews specifically mention burgers; we checked 6 outside rankings for "best burgers in Las Vegas" (vegas.eater.com, foodandloathing.vegas, carverroad.com, thrillist.com, google.com/search) and 16 of our 25 appear on at least one; we scanned 207 TikTok and Instagram posts about burgers in Las Vegas and 5 of the 25 are named in at least two; 75,667 Google reviews stand behind the 25 places listed; list average 4.63★ vs. category average 4.84★. The ranking came from reading what people actually wrote about the food, not from how famous the name is.

    Forty-five of the 64 reviews we read here name burgers, and they keep describing the same thing: thin, crispy smash patties, generous portions and a house "love sauce" of mayo and mustard. Expect a line at the Sunset Road window, expect it to move, and expect a dipped ice cream cone on the way out.

    Order this: Smash burger with love sauce; add bacon and jalapeños

    Great burgers always a line! Delicious dipped cones!
