| - Where Hard Rock and UNLV territory converge stands another Las Vegas icon: Capriotti's. Where the Hard Rock to the west celebrates rock and roll and UNLV to the east celebrates the Rebels, Capriotti's celebrates award winning sandwiches. Since the first Capriotti's opened in Delaware back in 1976, there Bobi sub has achieved "Best sandwich of the year" on numerous occasions. Locally the rewards would keep on coming. In 2016 "Desert Companion" readers voted Capriotti's as The Best Sandwich. In 2015 the Las Vegas Review Journal voted Capriotti's Best Fast Food plus Best Sandwich. Now on Saturday, July 8; I voted to eat at this very Capriotti's.
What is seriously missing in the Hard Rock Hotel is fast food restaurants. If you are up for fast food in the Hard Rock, you are literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. With the exception of the brand new Dunkin Donuts you are left to leave the hotel and walk to the crossroads of Paradise and Harmon where there are a cluster of restaurants. One of them is the Capriotti's in the CVS-anchored plaza at the northeast corner.
Being at the crossroads of the Hard Rock Hotel and UNLV it is a 24 hour Capriotti's. So, if you ever want a craving of the Bobi at 2 a.m., or are going cold turkey for a cole turkey late at night; this location will satisfy it.
I was impressed with the service, food, and price. After presenting the friendly cashier with $11 and change, my medium (12 inch) Cole Turkey and fountain cup were ready. Considering that this location is at the eastern boundary of the Resort Corridor, they do not price gouge. Before sitting at a table beside a brick wall, I filled up my cup with Dr. Pepper from the Pepsi fountain. I could not help but notice the Rebels pictures and that they sell Wise potato chips.
Capriotti's mission statement reads: "to share our passion one sandwich at a time." They have a generous way of sharing their passion. Their medium sandwich was gigantic. I could only imagine how large their 20 inch large sandwich is. They share their passion one sandwich at a time through quantity and quality. I am a fan of the Cole Turkey. Why wouldn't I be? According to the official Capriotti's menu, they slow roast a Butterbowl turkey. This savory turkey is joined with cole slaw, Russian dressing, mayo, and provolone cheese. Capriotti's slogan, "Extraordinary since 1976," best summarizes this Cole Turkey experience.
