Hey, big spender! If you’re feeling overburdened by the unwieldy size of your wallet these days, you’ve come to the right place. No town does over-the-top like Las Vegas. If you thought Sin City was expensive before, just wait until you read about these completely insane, totally outrageous ways to part with your hard-earned money.

1. Have a single pour of whiskey for $3,400

Sink into a tufted armchair at the Talon Club high-stakes gaming room and enjoy a wee dram of rare Balvenie, a 50-year-old single-malt Scotch whiskey, straight from the hogshead cask in the Scottish Highlands. Sampling the $30,000 bottle of booze is $3,400 per 1.5 oz.

2. Try a burger for $5,000

Chef Hubert Keller’s budget buster of a burger doesn’t trifle with the truffles. The FleurBurger 5000 is Kobe beef stuffed with black truffles and foie gras, garnished with truffle sauce and served on a brioche truffle bun. Wash it down with a bottle of Chateau Petrus 1995 in Ichendorf Brunello stemware that is yours to keep. You can get fries with that.

When billionaire Steve Wynn sends you home from XS nightclub with a souvenir, you can bet it won’t be a plastic swizzle stick. Yours to keep with the $10,000 Ono cocktail (Charles Heidsieck champagne and Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac) are a pair of sterling silver cufflinks and a women’s 18K white-gold chain with a black pearl pendant.
