I've never been impressed by Bartley's. I've eaten there a few times and I think it's fairly over rated and survives mostly on it's fame and reputation.

For my dollar I would rather grab a burger at R.F. O'Sullivan's (http://www.rf-osullivan.com/). The menu's not as extensive as Bartley's but the burgers are much more tastey.

I also really enjoy Eagle's Deli (http://www.eaglesdeli.com/). I ate the "Godzilla" burger once many years ago and my picture may still be on the wall there. Also, it was named "2nd best place in the world to pig out." Breakfast there is really great as well and my friend has a sandwich there named after him called the Messy Marvin.

Also, whenever I'm in Vegas I like to drop by Postrio for a burger (http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/restaura...trio/lasvegas/). The first couple of times I had it it was AMAZING. It had fresh mozzarella on it, carmelized onions, and a balsamic glaze. It didn't even need ketchup. They've changed it since but it's still pretty good.

Also, Abe & Louie's (http://www.abeandlouies.com/) has a great burger and also a great Tuna burger made from ground up Tuna steak.
