I'm a big fan of Canter's in Los Angeles and since we were staying at the Linq, my wife and I couldn't resist an opportunity to compare this one to the original.
Long story short, it's not as good as the one in L.A. due to its higher prices and smaller servings. Thankfully, the pastrami on rye tasted just as delicious as it did back home. If there's a better pastrami sandwich in Vegas, I'd love to try it.
Our waiter Jay was funny and seemed genuinely concerned with our experience. One bummer, though: the pickles that come out immediately as an appetizer in L.A. were nowhere to be found in Vegas. I asked one of the other workers for them and he forgot. When I brought it to the attention of Jay, he made sure that a plate full of them was delivered ASAP.
Although the prices were Vegas high and the portions weren't as generous as the original, the taste is still there. Don't forget to use your Yelp check-in for a free black-and-white cookie.
