| - I know I've had food from here before in the past but from what I can remember, someone always ordered and brought it to me when they were at the South Point Casino. I was here twice today, Christmas Day. Twice because I went out with my family to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was about 9 in the morning and we hadn't had breakfast yet. We picked up our tickets last night and the girl at the ticket counter informed us that Christmas Day is their busiest day of the year, so we had to get there early if we wanted good seats and didn't want to stand in line. Well, I mention it because that's the only reason I would be at the casino at 9 in the morning. It was about 75 more minutes before the movie started so we decided to get some food. Compared to all our other options at this casino at this time, this was our best option. And to be quite honest, I'd choose this place over Coronado Cafe for breakfast and late night eats.
For breakfast, I ordered the foot long hot dog which is $3.95 and comes with a side of chips. You can add toppings if you like, and what's awesome about this is that they give you a good amount of it for no additional charge! Which at first I only expected sauerkraut and grilled onions because that's what I heard when I ordered. So it was a nice surprise to find a huge side of sauerkraut, grilled onions and CHEESE on my hot dog. Unless I'm at a specialty hot dog joint, I don't usually see cheese on hot dogs.
I also tried a bite of the pastrami sandwich (on rye) which had a good portion of pastrami slices. It was tasty.
They also have a huge selection of self serve, pump style condiments against the wall near the dine in area. Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, deli mustard, relish, hot sauce and more. I also liked the framed posters of old movies on the wall.
After the movie, we decided to pick up some food to go. I decided to go with the Corned Beef Rueben. I love Reuben! That is my favorite sandwich at the deli, so I decided to try this one. Compared to others that I've had, the corned beef was thick and flavorful but I wish they grilled the whole sandwich more so the cheese would be a little more melted. Oh, and the menu shows that you can choose from cole slaw, potato salad or chips... but they have no problem substituting fries for your side! Just ask!
Oh and I can't forget the DESSERTS. This is what first caught my eye as I walked up to the deli counter. Even though I'm not eating any desserts I can write about it to satisfy my former sweet tooth. And you can enjoy it for me :). You should see them in person. My photos don't do them justice. Each cake slice, brownie slice, cheesecake slice, tiramisu, cookies, muffins and almost all their desserts are HUGE. Each dessert is about 4-6 inches wide and about an inch thick. It can serve 2-3 people depending on your appetite for sweets. The only ones that were normal size were the chocolate covered strawberries and cannoli.
We also ordered the cheesecake with strawberries as well, but I had to hold myself back from trying it, as I'm watching my sugar intake (no diabetes for me.) :( You don't even know how sad it made me. It's Christmas Day too. I don't know why the dark side was tempting me to try it. I've had great willpower since I've started this no dessert thing. It could be because it's the magical time of the year when there are beautiful sweets galore everywhere....smiling, twinkling, batting their eyelashes saying, "Eat me. eat me. eat me. Just one bite, Michelle. It won't kill you. Eeeeeeeat meeeee."
But The Force was strong in me today. I did not give in to the seduction of the cheesecake. Take that cheesecake!
All in all I can say I'll be back again.
