Del Mar Deli

LVA Review

This restaurant was re-reviewed in the August 2010LVA; some of the information contained in the review may no longer be accurate. If this isn’t the best sports book deli in town, someone needs to tell us which one is. We raved about Del Mar a couple years ago (LVA 5/08) and nothing’s changed. Monster sandwiches are $10.50 ($7.50 for a half) and we mean monster. We didn’t count ’em, but the over/under on the number of slices stacked on our salami sandwich was 50, and it’s the same treatment for turkey, roast beef, ham, or whatever else you choose. It’s places like this that make us write what we do about places like Red White and Blue. This restaurant was reviewed in the May 2008 LVA; some of the information contained in the review may no longer be accurate. Now this is a snack bar. The Del Mar Deli in the race & sports book at South Point does deli the way it used to be done, with great selection, high-quality ingredients, big portions, and decent prices. Take a gander at the big slicing machines that cut up fresh corned beef, pastrami, ham, even turkey. That’s right, the meat on these sandwiches isn’t packaged or pressed. We went for the $9.95 homemade soup and half-sandwich deal, pairing matzo ball with pastrami and beef barley with turkey. There were leftovers, but we still couldn’t resist getting monster slices of chocolate cake and New York cheesecake to go. The whole thing came in at $33. On top of the good food seats and tables are everywhere in the sports book and adjoining lounge, where you can sit down to eat lunch while watching the games on the big screens. Fantastic.
