1. Stay Tuned Burgers

Location: 1675 S. Industrial Road

Hours: 12pm – 2am daily

Cheapest smash burger: $10

Stay Tuned Burgers is a famous local burger joint from Vegas native Bobby Meader. Meader began his Smash burger odyssey in a backyard pop-up and just kept going, continuing to build a loyal following. 

The patties are topped with a paprika-infused sauce, American cheese, pickle chips, and white onions. You can also choose a special grilled onion jam for pure heaven. If you’re seeking a vegan rendition, the vegan smash burger is very tasty and made on a special vegan grill. 

2. Yukon Pizza

Location: 1130 E. Charleston Blvd

Hours: 11:30am – 10pm daily

Cheapest smash burger: $10

Yukon Pizza is where you’ll find a spicy smash burger with a special bit of heat. The togarashi-tinted sauce is a housemade secret, blending unique Japanese spice with mayonnaise, garlic powder, and sour cream. The 80/20 chuck patties are also seasoned for a spicy and salty outcome.

Browse the menu, and you’ll see loads of choices. You can even order a vegan or vegetarian smash burger and substitute fries with a small salad.

It’s a tough choice to opt for a burger instead of a pizza. But you may never look back once you taste this scrumptious $10 burger.
