Las Vegas is a place where you can do almost anything you want.
Want to gamble? Sure. Party like a rock star? No problem. Eat a colossal burger that causes you to collapse? You bet.
You probably know where to go to check off the first two items for the third head to the Heart Attack Grill.
A 40-year-old woman was taken to hospital last weekend after collapsing at the restaurant while indulging in a “Double Bypass Burger”.
The Heart Attack Grill's ''Quadruple Bypass Burger'.
The Double Bypass Burger contains a pound of beef and bacon.
The burger may not be the lone cause of her problem though as owner Jon Basso says she was smoking and drinking a margarita around the time of the incident.
She’s the second patron to go down at the Heart Attack Grill this year. In February a man collapsed while chowing down on a “Triple Bypass Burger”.
The restaurant makes no effort to hide the fact that their is bad for you. In fact they even have a sign up that reads ‘This Establishment is Bad for Your Health’.
To go along with the unhealthy theme waitresses dress as nurses and customers are referred to as patients.
Those who really feel like making their body suffer can try the ‘Quadruple Bypass Burger’ which contains two pounds of meat. For an extra $3.69 you can add 20 strips of bacon to the burger.
On the side add some Flatliner Fries. If you can feel your arteries clogging up that’s because they’re cooked in pure lard.
To wash it all down grab a nice ButterFat shake, it’s made with pure cream. The shakes come in vanilla and chocolate.
So next time you’re in Vegas and feel the need to push the limits of your body check out the Heart Attack Grill (450 Fremont Street), just make sure you have some cash leftover after the casino as they don’t take debit or credit.
Prices are reasonable (the Quadruble Bypass Burger is $12.94 plus tax) and if you’re over 350 pounds you eat free.
