Two Floors of Mac-and-Cheese Burgers, Chocolate Pizza and Burger-Topped Shakes

Most assume that the whole “What happens in Vegas” adage only applies to shotgun weddings, one-night stands and general Galifianakin tomfoolery. But it was essentially made for burger-garnished milkshakes, 24-scoop sundaes and mac-and-cheese-topped hamburgers. Or so you’re about to find out. By delving into the new, now-open Sugar Factory American Brasserie. Not only is this the first full-restaurant version of the living Wonka-land to hit Vegas, it’s also, at two floors and 22,000 square feet, the biggest restaurant in town. Here’s a look inside. And here’s a list of crazy things you can do there: —Gallivant through an illuminated candy garden to a private gazebo under twinkling lights. —Sip liberally from your date’s caramel truffle martini. —Eat a mac-and-cheese-topped burger for dinner. Then have a strawberry milkshake garnished with a mini bacon cheeseburger for dessert. —Drink 60 ounces of mai tai from a goblet at an outdoor carousel bar. —Ponder the meaning of life while staring at a floor-to-ceiling candy dot wall. —Enjoy surprisingly solid steak frites. —Watch a live band in a chocolate lounge. —Find out what grass-fed Angus beef and white chocolate shavings taste like when put together. —Order a salad. That’s the outright craziest move you can pull here.
