Sinful Subs serves a variety of sub sandwiches (some not-so-sinful such as the Crazy Caprese and Not-So-Boring sub made with turkey, ham, salami, or grilled chicken), soups, salads, and snack items. A Triple Decker Cinnamon French Toast breakfast sandwich is served on weekends only.

Las Vegas is lousy with sub shops: Jersey Mike’s, Jimmy John’s, Firehouse, Port of Subs, and of course, Subway, just to name a few. They’re fairly interchangeable. Then there’s the gold standard, Capriotti’s (LVA 4/11), which is anything but. So when a new place shows up and takes aim at the big guy, we’re interested. The new 7 Sinful Subs is doing just that, with an all-star cast of owners and a mission statement to make a better submarine sandwich that puts them in the Capriotti’s space. The focal owner is Vic Vegas, well-known in town for several high-profile culinary endeavors and appearances on Food Network and “Bar Rescue.” Also in the group is Brian Slipock, the low-key owner of Jackson’s Bar & Grill that we’ve written about many times for its steak and prime rib specials.
While the name suggests seven subs, there are nine, all hot except for one traditional cold-cuts sub called “Not-So Boring.” Everything is homemade, right down to the bread crumbs used for the chicken parm and the tangy marinara that tops it is Chef Vic’s grandmother’s recipe. “Skinny Dip” is a version of a Philly steak, “Crazy Caprese” is veggie, and “Jive Turkey” is 7 Subs’ version of Capriotti’s “Bobby,” essentially a Thanksgiving dinner on a bun. They come with a choice of chips and run $7.99 to $9.99 apiece. Sides and salads are $2.99-$9.99 and save room for the made-from-scratch cannoli ($2.99).
Note: This shop was located across Maryland Pkwy. from the UNLV campus when we reviewed it; but has since changed the name to just Sinful Subs and is located at 5135 S. Ft Apache #145.
