Why the same sandwich has two prices

Franchisees set their own prices, and most customers never see the spread because they only ever visit one store. Las Vegas has 35 McDonald's restaurants with a priced Big Mac; the typical one charges $6.19. The cheapest and most expensive sit at opposite ends of a $2.30 range inside one city.

How this was computed. Prices are the current price state: each store's price as read from the chain's own ordering system, refreshed weekly. A store's price counts only inside a sanity band around the item's national typical (half to 1.75 times), which drops placeholder and mis-listed prices no customer could actually pay. The McDonald's at 1980 N Lamb Blvd and the one at 2000 S LAS VEGAS BLVD (The Strat) were checked on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026.
