| - I am an honest to goodness Yankee, and yes I know this ain't even close to the real thing. HOWEVER, this is one of my main go-to-spots in LV. Here's why...
First, as anyone knows who has been there, walked past, or read these reviews, the portions are ginormously, astronomically, ridonculously huge. This is a great thing to me, as I am inherently greedy. Of course, it would be better if my hotel room had a fridge to store the leftovers, but I blame the hotels for that, not Carnegie. (Jury rig a 'fridge' in your bathroom sink or buy a cooler at CVS). First time I went there, me and mom both ordered separate sandwiches, her the turkey club and me the prime rib. Wrong move! You should have seen our faces slide to the floor when they showed up and set them on the table. We both literally had to peer AROUND our sandwiches to make eye contact. Now, as far as prime ribs go, it was decent, but I honestly don't know what I was thinking in ordering it for myself, since I'm not really a fan. Actually, I brainfarted and was thinking roast beef but that's my fault. Anyway, needless to say we both had like 4 full sandwiches of leftovers to take home and for her to throw away, since she left the next morning. So that's my first tip - split a sandwich, its so worth the extra 3 bucks or whatever to do so. oh yeah, and go early in the day so you have time to eat those leftovers that night before they spoil.
Second time I went, I followed her move and ordered the turkey club, was smart and split it. The thing is to ask for extra bread so when you break all that meat and bacon and stuff down you can make actual sandwiches, instead of open-faced halves. With a little salt and pepper and some pickle juice it was golden. I asked for bread when I left too, don't remember if/what they charged me but it wasn't much.
So to me, the place is great for the sheer quantity of food, even at 20 bucks a sandwich. The 'rents went back again and my dad had the huge pastrami and said it was really good, and mom had chicken salad and also liked it (but again, get extra bread and prepare for how much you're gonna get). One of the best things about this joint is the pickles on the table. I'm usually having to hold myself back from eating them all (and really spoiling the appetite for the ensuing sandwich).
Also, another think I really like about Carnegie is you can get an old-fashioned egg cream here, which is basically like a carbonated thin milkshake. So freakin good..... The malt is good too
I'm glad to see that Carnegie is now open 24hrs, because the first couple of times I went they closed at 2am and I remember wanting a sandwich so bad after leaving Jet. So I'll definitely be kicking off my heels in there next time I go the club, I'm sure it'll all be SO much better at 4am after the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol....
