Neither !! 
If one does a little research, there are far far better burgers in most places to be had than either of these places. ^
I have to assume that there is some off the strip bar/joint that does a much better burger as I have found this to be true in most areas I’ve traveled to.

In-And-Out all the way. One of the few local So Cal icon brands.
If your coming from the east to Vegas or So Cal you've gotta have an In & Out burger, fries & shake. After that, you'll never look at fast food the same way again

In-and-Out's burgers are good but their french fries are terrible. It's like they started with the Belgian two step process but forgot the second high heat frying step to crisp up the outsides. They taste and feel like they've been poached, not fried, in oil.

Best non-chain bets in any town, IMHO, are almost any sports bar or if in a city, some of the trendiest hotels and restaurants have fantastic burgers, assuming you don't mind spending $15-18 for lunch, since they usually refuse to serve them at dinner.
Back to the OP: In-N-Out rulz. Hope you're not disappointed after this buildup. I mean, it's just a burger.

Personally, In-N-Out gets my vote. I craved it all the time when I didn't live near one, however, now that I have one about 2 miles from where I live, I hardly go. Maybe it's the desire of wanting something you can't have.....who knows.

Original Tommy's
Personally, I prefer Original Tommy's and their Mega Cheeseburger. The location in San Diego just opened on Friday. Rumor has it that a Vegas location is coming soon. Tommy's fries are so much better then In and Out's. Don't follow the herd mentality. Tommy's is a true original!

If you want sunnyside-up or poached eggs (i.e. undercooked IMHO) on EVERYTHING visit northern Italy. They seem to consider it a favor to add a runny egg to the top of your burger/sandwich/salad. Yecch.
Again, In-N-Out rules.
