The shake might seem like a refreshing break, but dairy can fill you up faster than you expect. Savvy challengers alternate bites of burger and sips of shake to keep their pace steady. The fries are crispy and addictive, so do not let them distract you from the main event.
Lola’s promotes this challenge proudly, and the food hall setting means your friends can grab their own meals while they watch you compete. It is a win for everyone involved.
3. Mint Indian Bistro (Multiple LV locations) — Inferno Curry Challenge
Forget everything you think you know about spicy food before you step up to Mint Indian Bistro’s Inferno Curry Challenge. This dish weaponizes ghost peppers, Carolina Reapers, and Moruga Scorpions into a curry so hot that some winners need a wheelchair ride out the door. Survive the flames and your photo joins the wall of fame, immortalizing your pain and triumph.
Local press has covered brave souls who thought they could handle heat, only to discover this curry plays in a different league. Milk and bread help, but nothing truly stops the burn once it starts. Mental toughness matters as much as your taste buds.
Mint operates multiple Las Vegas locations, so you can pick the spot closest to you. Just make sure your schedule is clear afterward because you might need recovery time.
4. Public House (Luxor, Las Vegas) — “Do It In Public” Quadruple Burger Challenge
Walking into Public House at the Luxor means you might witness someone tackling a burger that looks more like a skyscraper than a meal.

Conquer it all and you earn free swag and a coveted spot on the wall of fame.
Many challengers underestimate how filling four beef patties really are. The jalapeños add a spicy kick that can slow you down if you are not ready for heat. Pacing yourself is key because the side dish sneaks up on you at the end.

Sweet toppings like syrup and whipped cream taste amazing at first, but they can become overwhelming as you power through the stack. Drinking water between bites helps cut the sugar and keeps you moving. FoodChallenges.com lists the current rules, and the restaurant stays busy with both challengers and regular diners.

8. Sayulita (Las Vegas) — “Mecca Burrito” Challenge
Sayulita’s “Mecca Burrito” looks more like a sleeping bag than a meal, and the tight time cap makes this challenge no joke. Packed with rice, beans, meat, cheese, and every topping imaginable, this multi-pound burrito tests your jaw strength as much as your stomach capacity. Winners score a T-shirt, fame on the wall, and a comped meal.
The tortilla holds everything together, but biting through layers of dense fillings slows you down fast. Some challengers unwrap sections to speed up, though purists insist on eating it like a true burrito.

Sayulita is open and waiting, so gather your courage and prepare for a burrito that fights back.
9. Pizza Plus (Reno & Sparks) — “Super Monster Mondo” Team Pizza Challenge
Reno and Sparks pizza fans know Pizza Plus as the home of the “Super Monster Mondo,” a 24-inch, roughly 9-pound combo pie designed for two challengers. You and a teammate have one hour to finish every slice, and success means free pizza, T-shirts, and your names on the wall of fame.
Teamwork makes this challenge possible, so pick a partner who can match your pace and stomach capacity. The combo toppings add flavor variety, but they also pile on weight and grease. Pizza Plus operates multiple stores across the area and actively promotes this challenge, making it a northern Nevada must-try.
Locals warn that the final slices feel like the hardest because your stomach is already stretched. Strategy and determination will carry you to victory.
10. Slice of Vegas (Mandalay Place, Las Vegas) — 9-lb “Double Down” Pizza Challenge
Mandalay Place’s Slice of Vegas takes pizza challenges to another level with the “Double Down,” an 18-inch double-stacked pie weighing in at 9 pounds. Loaded with meats and veggies, this beast demands you finish in one hour to earn a free meal, a $100 gift card, a T-shirt, and wall immortality.
The double-stack design means twice the crust and twice the cheese, which fills you up faster than a regular pizza. Recent creator videos show challengers struggling through the final slices, proving this is no easy win. MGM and Slice of Vegas pages confirm the challenge is very active, so you can book your attempt with confidence.
Bring your A-game and maybe a stretchy waistband because this pizza does not quit until you do.

Usually tackled by two people, this challenge gives you one hour to devour every last bite. The Las Vegas Review-Journal recently featured the challenge after viral attempts made it internet famous.
The sheer size means you need a strategy before you even take your first slice. Some teams divide the pizza into sections, while others just grab and go. Either way, the clock ticks fast and the cheese keeps coming.
Super Mario’s is open and scheduling attempts regularly, so check in advance to reserve your spot. Bring a teammate you trust because teamwork is the only way to conquer this giant.
13. La Salsa Cantina (Miracle Mile Shops, Las Vegas) — “El Champion” Burrito & Margaritas
La Salsa Cantina at Miracle Mile Shops mixes food and drink into one wild challenge with “El Champion.” You face a roughly 2-pound burrito plus multiple margaritas, all to be finished in one sitting. Complete the challenge and you usually score a comped meal and merchandise, though it is smart to verify the exact prizes when you arrive.
The margaritas add a twist because alcohol can slow your eating pace and fill your stomach with liquid. Balancing bites of burrito with sips of margarita becomes a tricky game. FoodChallenges.com posts up-to-date rules, so you know what you are signing up for.
The cantina vibe makes this challenge feel like a party, especially if you bring friends to cheer you on. Just remember, those margaritas are stronger than they taste.
