Question of the Day — 7 Jun 2020

When this is all over and we come back to Vegas, where might we find a place that serves a corned beef sandwich as good as Carnegie Deli? 

Carnegie Deli was an iconic and popular delicatessen chain whose home branch opened in 1937 across the street from Carnegie Hall in Midtown Manhattan; it closed in late December 2016. That was followed a few years later by the branch at the Mirage, which closed earlier this year, leaving Greenberg's at New York-New York as the only place on the Strip with Carnegie-like deli sandwiches. (In this writer's opinion, the Backstage Deli at Luxor is worth a miss, though the Del Mar Deli at South Point is good in a pinch, though I wouldn't compare the sandwiches to Carnegie's).

Otherwise, you have to go into the neighborhoods, but you'll find excellent corned beef at the Haifa restaurant (certified Glatt kosher, 900 E. Karen Avenue, Suite H102), along with Weiss Deli in Green Valley and Harrie's Bagelmania a few blocks east of the Strip on East Twain.
 
The latter two are where we go for good kosher-style corned-beef, pastrami, and tongue sandwiches on seeded rye with mustard. Who else has a favorite place for this kind of sandwich?
