{{Short description|Restaurant in Blackpool, England}}
Higgitt's Las Vegas Arcade Blackpool & £1 Burger Bar is a burger bar located in Blackpool, England. The burger bar became famous for offering multiple menu items for only £1. Bacon Barms are the most popular item served up at the Las Vegas Burger Bar & continues to be the most popular item served up to Blackpool's Holiday Makers with the £1 Burger coming in a close 2nd.
The Walk on the wildside Burger was created in 2023 with a stack of 5 burgers in a Barm for only £3.50, Many have attempted the Burger Bars Challenge but very few have managed to defeat the challenge in full. The name comes from another Blackpool YouTuber Walk on the Wildside, a vlogger infamous in the area.
The Arcade attached to the Burger Bar has been minimalised to a third of its original size this year due to new licensing laws on Arcades with Christopher Higgitt adding stud walls closing much of the arcade off.
The burger bar is owned by Christopher Higgitt and has been in operation since 2006.{{Cite web| last =Newton| first =Susan| year =2023| title =YouTuber Rate My Takeaway visits Blackpool £1 burger spot and almost loses his famous table to seagulls| website=Lancs Live| url=https://www.lancs.live/whats-on/food-drink-news/youtuber-rate-takeaway-visits-blackpool-26549314| access-date = 13 March 2023}} The restaurant is seasonal due to being in a resort town.
