Gordon Ramsay brings tasty exclusives to his second Las Vegas burger joint

Thu, Feb 20, 2025 (2 a.m.)

If Gordon Ramsay has taught us anything, it’s that the Brits love their burgers just as much as their Beef Wellingtons. When his namesake burger shop debuted at Planet Hollywood in 2012, it helped set a new standard for upscale casual grub. More than a decade later, the celebrity chef has opened a second location at the Flamingo with exclusive dishes and brunch.

Specialties include the Cluck Yeah G.F.C. Sandwich ($27), a spicy chicken sandwich served on a pink brioche bun and a crunchy bed of red cabbage slaw, and the Idiot Burger ($34), with its stupid-tasty braised short rib, melted gruyere cheese and roasted mushrooms.

Ramsay’s sticky toffee waffle ($15) also hits the sweet spot. And his milkshakes, namely the spiked vanilla Sticky Shake ($25) and the strawberry cheesecake shake ($13), nail their rich and foamy assignments.

Flamingo’s Gordon Ramsay Burger also ups the square footage to nearly double the size of the Planet Hollywood location, adding a spacious dining area, an island-style bar and an outdoor patio with a Strip view. At its grand opening event on January 16, feathered showgirls and reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump joined Ramsay in celebrating his seventh restaurant on the Strip.

“I still treat this business as if it’s our first-ever restaurant,” Ramsay said. “We dedicate these openings to the team. Getting to see them this morning, getting to see them before Christmas, getting to see where we broke ground a year ago, it’s been extraordinary. And the talent in this room is second to none.”

Towering above the crowd in his crisply starched chef’s coat, Ramsay recognized his kitchen staff with handshakes and hugs, proving the hot-headed Hell’s Kitchen host can be a different version of himself. During his speech, Ramsay expressed his gratitude for being there, having just evacuated his Los Angeles home due to the wildfires a week prior.

“I want to spend a moment to give thanks to the incredible service from all those first responders and the entire team back in L.A.,” he said. “Today was an important day for me. I couldn’t miss this.”
