| - I'll preface this by saying I'm from Los Angeles, grew up eating in LA delis so I know what good, old school deli food is and should be. Greenberg's isn't in that league, but there's no place in Vegas that IS in that league, that's just the way it is in this city. Having said that, their food is somewhat better than I've had at the other deli in town I tried.
Stopped here for lunch. They are located in the "village eatery" section of NYNY hotel/casino. Ordered a corned beef sandwich on rye with side of potato salad, and a chocolate egg cream. The sandwich was okay, the amount of corned beef was fairly good, although nothing to write home about. Fairly tender, with a few bites of scattered "chewy" spots that weren't too bad. Fairly flavorful, maybe a bit dry. Again, if you're like me and grew up eating fabulous "real" deli food, you won't be too impressed. This sandwich will give you a little feeling of "home", especially if you've lived in Vegas for years and are yearning for a good corned beef sandwich and would do anything to have one, even a sub-standard version.
The potato salad was good. Nothing aMAYzing but better than grocery store deli stuff. The egg cream was okay, nice chocolate flavor.
Prices are high, as they are anywhere in a strip eaterie. No getting around that. The solution: split the sandwich, it was definitely large enough for two people. Splitting stuff is the only way to make it easier on your wallet during a Vegas vacay!
Would I eat here again? Maybe. I'd have to be in serious "longing for a corned beef on rye" mode, which I am about once a year. i suppose this place would fill that need. Maybe...lol...
