The hamburger is arguably the most “everyman” food you could order. That certainly does not mean that there is no way to elevate the common burger into something decidedly lavish. These burgers tip the scales with gourmet buns, rare and delicious toppings, and high-end wine pairings. It’s no surprise that you will find the world’s most expensive burgers in Las Vegas and New York City since their flavors are as spectacular as the cities themselves. Will you indulge in the most expensive burger in the world?
777 Burger
The 777 Burger is as Vegas as its Lucky Sevens namesake. The burger has all the flash and decadence of Sin City, and you will have to visit Paris Las Vegas to order it. Of course, serving this burger with a bottle of Dom inflates the price considerably. However, it is well worth it in our opinion.
Price: $777
Where you will find it: Burger Brasserie, Las Vegas
Features:
Kobe Beef and Maine Lobster Burger is topped with caramelized onions, imported Brie, crispy prosciutto and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar. The burger is served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon champagne.
Fleurburger 5000
While you are in Vegas, swing by Mandalay Bay for a burger created by the world-renown chef, Hubert Keller. By far the most expensive item on the list, the Fleurburger 5000 will put a 5k dent in your wallet. The extravagant burger is accompanied by a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus – itself a $2,500 wine. It may very well be the most expensive burger in the world.
Price: $5000
Where you will find it: Fleur, Las Vegas
Features:
Foie gras tops this Wagyu beef burger as well as shaved black truffles and truffle sauce. Set all of that on top of a brioche truffle bun alongside a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus and you have a burger to die for!
Le Burger Extravagent
While the prices of the other items on our list are inflated with the addition of expensive wines, Le Burger Extravagant is a pricey burger that stands on its own.

This is a truly decadent indulgence that everyone needs to experience once in a lifetime.
