I feel a little let down, but perhaps only because I have a friend who has been known to make exclusive trips to Vegas just to get The Original. He literally compares all things great in this life to that sandwich. For that reason I had some very high expectations for The Original.
Don't get me wrong, it was good. The bread was deliciously crisp, but the meat did come off to me a little soggy and slimy, and they went real heavy on the horseradish mayo. I could hardly even detect the cheese, which I was really hoping would balance out the bite of the horseradish, but it didn't come through for me in the clutch.
All in all, it was a good sandwich, but it certainly was no Ike's. Vegas needs to up its game and get an Ike's.
