When I had a few of these sandwiches in Germany they usually had a yogurt type sauce that went on the sandwich.
It was delicous.
BTW, where on the strip is this place?
RM, what you are describing is the Greek gyro.It consists of spiced lamb stack on a spit just like pictured and served just like you said, cut in thin shavings/slices caught on a large warm pita bread. The yogurt sauce is called tzatiki sauce and is cucumber/yogurt mainly with some mint in there. Pile on some onions and lettuce and mow down.
AQ good gyro made from a real Greek resteraunt CANNOT be beat, we're fortunate, we have a few of them here pretty close in No. Va. (just ask if anyone's interested where).
