Smash Burger has launched a year-long “Roadtrip to Taste the USA” promotion where every two-months they will introduce a new burger from a major city in the United States. What a fun idea! Currently, they are stopped in Las Vegas, Nevada and offering the Vegas Burger. We had the pleasure of tasting this DELICIOUS burger which consists of 100% Certified Angus Beef patty topped with American cheese, fried egg, beef bacon, grilled onions, haystack onions, and Smashsauce on an egg bun. We highly recommend you swing by and have a bite– or 2– or 3 of this delightful sandwich as it will definitely satisfy your burger craving! We can’t wait to try the rest of the “Roadtrip” burgers! Bring em’ on!
From the flag cape, to the beanie, to the face paint, to the kite, to the scarf– we LOVE them all! There are more goodies inside, but we got too excited and snapped a photo before we could open everything! LOL!
