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. Its customers – and the community it has formed – are an essential part of Slater’s and the key to the business’s success, so providing an excellent meal and experience is paramount. To ensure it stays on top of this, the team is very aware of – and responsive to – criticisms and suggestions. For example, members of Slater’s team read and respond to every review to gather as much information as possible to adapt and grow. No experience is quite like the last. Even the owners are active in this regard, they personally table-touch hundreds of guests each week to ensure satisfaction. Beyond that, Slater’s is also highly active in the local community. It sponsors kids’ little league sports teams – and plays sports on TVs throughout the restaurant- makes regular donations to its local food banks, and drops off lunch at its local police departments and fire stations. Having a positive impact on the community around it is the responsibility of every business, but Slater’s goes above and beyond here as well. Slater’s standards for itself have not wavered, even with the turmoil in the industry with the pandemic. As the Food and Beverage industry deals with a fractured supply chain and rising food prices, all participants feel the squeeze. However, Slater’s was quick to adapt and work through the problems. One such way of adapting has been investing in additional training for its longterm team members, which results in higher productivity, higher service quality, and reduced mistakes – guaranteeing improved customer satisfaction and higher morale amongst the team. The industry has many challenges ahead of it, but Slater’s has already stepped up to the plate to show it’s willing and able to adapt and overcome. It is also well equipped to continue thriving, its entire menu remains just as enticing as ever, and the investments made into the staff means service and efficiency will continue to improve. Slater’s 50/50 Las Vegas is on a clear upwards trajectory, the passion of its local owner operators Andy Kao and Cindy Sun and team ever-present and manifesting in an award-winning output. Considering how almost every aspect of its service is beloved by visitors across the state and US, awarding Slater’s as Las Vegas’s Burger Bar of the Year for 2022 is an easy choice.
