5 delicious delis in Las Vegas
The Bagel Cafe
The Bagel Cafe is as real as it gets; if you don’t believe us, check out the bakery case near the entrance, where you’ll see black-and-white cookies, rugula, babka, cheesecake and just about everything else you can imagine. But that’s not to knock the bagels, oversized and sold in batches of 14, and favorites such as matzo ball or chicken noodle soup, stuffed cabbage, brisket, potato pancakes and overstuffed sandwiches.

Bagelmania Bagel Factory & Delicatessen
What are you, chopped liver? If you are, you’re right at home at Bagelmania, where the chopped chicken liver is the best in town. The longtime Harrie’s has changed management, along with its name, but still has authentic bagels, four varieties of fish platters for one or two and sandwiches of every description, and you can even get Mish Mosh Soup, which contains noodles, kreplach and a matzo ball.

Carnegie Delicatessen
No list of delis would be complete without the famed Carnegie, the New York landmark with a well-established beachhead at The Mirage. Carnegie is famous for stacked-up-to-here sandwiches with corned beef and pastrami from the mother ship, knishes and blintzes and more.

Siena Italian Market Place & Deli
The original delis may have been Jewish, but their Italian counterparts have become favorites, too, including the well-established Siena. You can get all manner of Italian meats (such as house-made sausages), plus specialties such as gnocchi, eggplant Parmesan and stuffed Italian squash, and the adjoining market has dozens of specialty items imported straight from the boot.
9500 W. Sahara Ave., 702-736-8424, sienaitalian.com
Roma Restaurant & Deli
Are you picky about your Italian deli food? If so, you might appreciate Roma Restaurant & Deli, where you can get a sandwich with either domestic or imported prosciutto, as well as classics such as mortadella and cappocollo. You also can get an old-fashioned pepper-and-egg sandwich or one packed with meatballs, or a nice bowl of minestrone or pasta e fagioli, made fresh daily.
