501 S. Decatur Blvd.
Straight from Philly Steakout continues its ownership of this Best of Las Vegas category with yet another win. The restaurant is nothing much to look at -- really, just a sort of simple tipi-ish dwelling -- but it offers killer cheesesteak sandwiches served in proper street eats style. The unrelated Stake Out was your second-place pick.
Our Pick: STRAIGHT FROM PHILLY STEAKOUT
The trick to a satisfying cheesesteak sandwich is using meat that's tender but not too tender, maintaining a proper balance of gloppiness among the cheese, peppers and other toppings. You also need a roll that's sturdy enough to encase the drippy ingredients yet not so heavy as to overwhelm the taste of meat and toppings. Straight from Philly pulls off this culinary tightrope walk daily.
