There's a $5,000 Burger in Las Vegas

The Fleur de Lys restaurant in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay may serve French cuisine but that hasn't stopped them from adapting their own version of an American classic: the hamburger. Called the "Fleurburger 5000" it's no Plain Jane either, featuring a juicy Kobe beef patty topped with a rich truffle sauce and served on a brioche truffle bun. And this burger comes with its own beverage, a bottle of 1990 Chateau Petrus, that is served in Ichendorf Brunello stemware that you get to keep.
It sounds (and looks) delicious -- as well it should for the whopping price tag of $5000. And if you do decide to indulge no worries about bragging rights: you can bring a friend (they get a free burger when you order yours) and you'll also get a certificate in the mail (along with your keepsake glass) so you'll have both a witness and paper proof.

This article about "Fleurburger" was very interesting. We
really stack our hamburgers with cheese on here at the
Mainlands, we usually have one every couple of weeks,
maybe sooner now that this is Summer Time. Slf.

It really is two burgers and a bottle of wine for $5000.00, that's like a nice lunch for two in St. Tropez--expensive but really only $2500.00 a person. Just what tip would you leave?
