$24 for a burger and beer.  \n\nAn airport is not the sort of place where one searches out fine dining.  In fact, it the sort of place where hungry travelers seek out average dining at stratospheric prices.  Such is the case at Burke in the Box at McCarran Int'l Airport in Las Vegas.\n\nThe good:\n\n1)  The only place I could find on concourse D near my gate (53) which accommodated sit-down dining.\n2)  Wide selection of hot dogs, burgers and sandwiches.  I ordered a cheese burger with blue cheese, raw onions, lettuce and tomato.   The burger came with a generous helping of (what appeared to be) re-heated French fries with truffle oil.  I also had a 20oz Stella.\n3)  Good selection of adult beverages\n4)  Modest selection of dessert\n\nThe bad.\n1)  OH MY GAWD: The bill.  $24 for a burger and a beer!!\n2)  Understaffed.  The gentleman in the table next to me got up leaving his sandwich on the table to go the bar and order another drink.  While he was away the waitress cleared away his half-eaten sandwich.\n3)  Pretense at fine dining.  The place is self serving trying to portray itself as haute burger-land: something which it is not.\n4)  Televisions hanging on the wall with the volume up very high. \n5)  The waitress added bacon to my burger - which I didn't ask for and charged me $1.99 extra.\n\nOverall:  I wish more airports were like Dulles Airport in Washington where the prices in there are pretty close to those you'd pay outside of the airport.  The food was decent but it was not fine dining: no way.\n\nWere the burger, fries and beer had come in at $15 I'd be singing the praises of this high-rent burger joint.  At $24 - not so much.\n\nIn Vegas one has the opportunity to gamble at almost every turn.  Rest assured that if you venture into this establishment that you'll come up with snake eyes.
