The "FleurBurger 5000" - Perfect for TD high rollers. Apparently available only at Mandalay Bay Casino in Vegas.

The guy tried one

I bet the reviewer guy didn't pay for it.

Actually the burger comes with a $5,000 bottle of wine.

IMO - it would be too thick for me. Would not be able to get it into my mouth for a bite and I am not a fan of too thick burgers.

Sadly it looks like there also are no onion rings as a side. For $5,000 one would think you might get onion rings as a side. Apparently not.

You don't even get fries with that? Just based on principle, I wouldn't pay for it.

Sounds amazing. It's also more appropriately in the neighborhood of being a $50 burger, which I don't find particularly objectionable. With that said, I hate bullshite pricing clickbate like this article. If I give you a free hotdog if you purchase a car, you're an idiot if you run a headline saying you purchased a $20,000 hotdog.

I thought the whole point of wagyu beef was the marbling. So to then turn it into ground beef seems a little backwards.

Though, I'm sure it still tastes amazing.

$2,400.00 +- That is web pricing, not restaurant pricing.

The wine part was confusing. It seems like you just get a glass of it, but they say you keep the empty bottle and the crystal glasses. Not sure how you'd get the empty bottle unless you... Emptied it, but they clearly said "pour of wine."

A definite buy if you have the spare money and it's the whole bottle of wine.
