One Las Vegas burger bar knows this perfectly well; with a signature burger patty made from 50% bacon and 50% Angus beef – and an extensive selection of milkshakes and craft beers – there is no denying the exceptional status of Slater’s 50/50 Las Vegas NV. Slater’s 50/50 Las Vegas Burger Bar of the Year 2022 – Las Vegas Slater’s 50/50 has two locally owned and operated locations in Las Vegas, NV, and Slater’s is looking to grow to a third location eventually. Slater’s is known for its gourmet burgers, craft beers, milkshakes, familyfriendly atmosphere, and its selection of bacon-infused foods. Bacon is a signature ingredient in its restaurant. Slater’s uses thick center-cut bacon in its burgers. Slaters has a 50% bacon patty, bacon hotdog, bacon embedded cheese, bacon chilli, bacon vodka, bacon bourbon, bacon ketchup, bacon macaroni and cheese, and numerous other bacon-centric offerings. With the company split across the Silverado Ranch and Lake Mead locations, both boast truly gourmet burgers with flame-grilled patties, brioche buns, and fresh produce. In addition, each site has 50 craft beers on draft – that change seasonally – and a variety of decadent milkshakes that also change throughout the year. This is a very well-regarded eatery. Combined, its stores have thousands of five-star reviews on Yelp and Google, and people always clamour for more. Alongside this, the public and awarding bodies have commended every aspect of the service. The beer selection was voted Best of Vegas for Best Beer List, whilst its milkshake menu was featured on Yelp’s Outrageous Milkshakes 2022 list. Meanwhile, its secret burger won the NETFLIX show ‘Fresh, Fried, and Crispy’. Slater’s successes stem from its intense focus on delivering high-quality service and food at an affordable price.
