Now if only they’d hold an open casting call for Goodburger.
BLT Burger, part of the Bistro Laurent Tourondel empire of restaurants, is opening its first outpost outside of New York City this summer at The Mirage, and it’s holding open interviews today through Friday.
The restaurant is taking applications for manager, assistant manager, server, busperson, food runner, bartender, bar apprentice, host/hostess, fountain worker, assistant chef, line cook, pastry cook and prep cook. We were hoping to get a shot as the head condiment wrangler, but our skills with mustard are weak.
Interviews run from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. in Antigua Room A.

It’s not a good year to be a cow. Earlier, we announced the April opening of the Monte Carlo’s new steakhouse and lounge, Brand. And now The Mirage is unveiling its next eatery, Las Vegas’ first location of award-winning chef Laurent Tourondel’s BLT Burger, slated to open this spring.
Like the original New York location, BLT Burger will offer a hip, casual setting courtesy of the Rockwell Group. The menu offers a distinctive selection of beef (sirloin, short rib, chuck and brisket cut), American and Japanese Wagyu, lamb and Ahi tuna burgers, as well as tasty sides such as onion rings, waffle-cut, chili cheese and sweet potato fries.
In addition to traditional milkshakes and ice cream floats, BLT Burger will also offer a wide selection of beers, wines and cocktails. Or you can just order your milkshake “spiked.” Oh yeah.
