HOT MEALS
This is tough to list individual places so
what we know and suggest is if your clan is wanting something different, why not drop by a local grocery story deli where
little Bobby can get his cold Fried Chicken, Dad can get his hot wings, Billy can get his sub sandwich
and Mom can pick up her hot fried chicken dinner and cool salads!
Other options would include places like Subway, who offer a variety of
hot and cold subs.
Then again after a long, hot day in the Mojave desert sun, who's going
to want a hot meal!
COLD CHOICES
ALBERTSONS:
Offers a large variety in the Deli Department,
including cold fried chicken.
Locations throughout Las Vegas including:
2575 S Maryland Pkwy.
VONS
This is a regular grocery store, which offers great hot and cold food in their Deli Dept. This is a great
option for extended vacations, relocations and/or timeshares, when you really want the conveniences of home and making
your own meals. Don't forget you get the same prices at the grocery store, without the hassles of going there and doing the
shopping yourself. On top of that, all can be delivered conviently to your front door.

Subway
Multiple Locations
Las Vegas
, NV
Subway has the subs, and readers can get them any way they wish. Thanks to the diet success
of the famous Jared Fogle, Subway's low-fat subs have become particularly popular with those who are watching the waistline,
although there are plenty of high-calorie subs as well, including the Chipotle Southwest Cheesesteak. And Subway not only
offers a variety of breads to pack those subs onto, they also offer to toast them as well. Capriotti's sandwiches its way
into second place.

Capriotti's
Mutliple Locations
Las
Vegas , NV
Capriotti's, though, remains first in our hearts, for its amazingly overstuffed subs
-- even a small is a meal in itself -- such as the Cobbie, which is sort of like Thanksgiving on a bun with its turkey and
dressing and cranberry sauce, and the ever-popular Capastrami, with its pastrami and coleslaw. We can't handle the calories
often, but when we do, we sure enjoy them.

Capriotti's
multiple locations
Las
Vegas , NV
Whether you are going for a straight sub or a speciality such as The Bobbie (Thanksgiving
dinner as a sandwich) or Capastrami, you will have your hands full -- literally. The sandwiches are big, stuffed full of tasty
ingredients and more than enough to sate your appetite. |

Jason's Deli
Multiple locations
Las
Vegas , NV
You won't encounter a guy with an attitude behind the counter at Jason's, snapping at
you as he slices your corned beef oh, so carefully, and that's not the only non-New York thing about Jason's. Readers like
it for its diversity: The menu includes New Orleans-style muffulettas and po' boys as well as paninis, wraps and stacked-up-to-here
sandwiches such as The New York Yankee and the Club Royale, plus salads and soups and stuffed baked potatoes. Bagel Cafe is
a distant second.

Bagel Cafe
301 N. Buffalo Drive
Las
Vegas , NV
They generally don't yell at us at Bagel Cafe, even when we ask for that pastrami on
white with mustard and mayo, but in every other way this is the real deal. The bagels are nice and tough and chewy, the meats
are freshly sliced and the soup's homemade. And for a real taste of an authentic deli, we can cruise the bakery counter and
choose from among rugelach in several flavors, black-and-whites and even a babka on occasion.

Jason's Deli
multiple locations
Las
Vegas , NV
New York-style in Las Vegas has translated well in Jason's Deli. Ample servings of sandwiches,
side dishes, dessert and more keep the customers coming back and the prices won't break the budget. |

The Cheesecake Factory
Multiple locations
Las
Vegas , NV
The Cheesecake Factory offers lots of other stuff, but by definition it's all about desserts,
and we've never known the place to let readers down. Among the nearly endless varieties of rich -- and never cheesy -- cheesecakes
are Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, dulce de leche caramel cheesecake, fresh banana cream cheesecake, Key lime cheesecake ...
well, you get the picture. The Claim Jumper finishes a sweet second.
|
|
|
Layers
2708 N. Green Valley Pkwy
Henderson
, NV
Oooh, just thinking about Layers makes us hungry. We like those big gooey chocolate concoctions,
the carrot cakes with their diversity of flavors and textures, and -- not that we're chocoholics -- the little cakes that
the guy behind the counter tells us to warm in the microwave until the center is soft and gooey. |

Taco Bell
Multiple Locations
Las
Vegas , NV
Taco Bell's basic tacos have reached iconic status, but the chain keeps introducing new
varieties to keep readers comin' back for more. There's the grande soft taco, the spicy chicken soft taco, the double decker
taco, grilled steak soft taco, and on and on. Roberto's Taco Shop is a close second.
|
|
|
Islands Restaurant
10810 West Charleston
Boulevard
Las Vegas , NV
We like tacos at Islands because we can eat them in a casual, comfortable
atmosphere, but also because the tacos are so interesting -- such as the Island Fish, with its pollock, cabbage, cilantro
and chipotle-white sauce, or the fusionistic Yaki, with its chicken and teriyaki sauce, plus pineapple and jack cheese. They
may not be authentic, but they sure are good. |

Freed's Bakery
4780 S. Eastern Ave.
Las
Vegas , NV
Freed's has been in Las Vegas since the railroad auction. OK, maybe not quite, but it
has been around long enough to achieve landmark status and no one's ever suggested imploding it. That's because of a selection
of pastries, cakes and other items that is so high in quality, the home-baked fruitcake is even delicious. Marie Callender's
pies are a distant second.
|
|
|
Ambience Bakery Bistro
3980 East Sunset
Road
Las Vegas , NV
The epitome of a fine pastry is a buttery rich croissant, and Ambiance has
the real deal -- so pure, so buttery, they're perfect completely unadorned with a nice fresh cup of coffee. Almond and chocolate
and raisin croissants are other options, and there are cakes, as well, for when we're looking for something a little sweeter. |
