Del Mar Deli

Omg! Fat kid heaven! Huge portions! I understand, its inside of a casino, People don’t want eat, when they do, they’re hungry. Roast beef piled up to the sky. cake portions bigger than most whole cakes. I do like the fresh bagels and lox. It’s hard to find that in most places. If you get lucky, you can grab good table to watch the game and get beers too. Split your order, or get doggie bag. Or be a fat ass, eat the hole thing. Lol

Working at Southpoint this ends up a monthly choice for us… There’s definitely a couple things that are my go to menu items.
Chicken salad sandwich on wheat with fries, the chicken salad is simple… Really simple but it’s good and to the point and a huge portion as is everything at this place.
Matzo ball soup, they keep the matzo ball separate and not sitting in the soup so it’s never soggy but isn’t dry either. They use the same base for their chicken noodle soup and their matzo so if u like one the other is good too. Bagels are always fresh and their half soup half sandwich choices are always filling. The other choice is pastrami sandwiches, they shave the hot fresh pastrami and beefs when you order. I wish I knew the girls names that are helpful there are some more friendly than others but they are accommodating. Not social and flirty but still accommodating. Desserts– the éclair is my go to along with the black and white cookie and gluten free cookies. I’ve never had a bad dessert there but those are my favorites!

Deli food seems pretty fresh and overall good. I had the French Dip which I would have said was fabulous, had they not served me oil as au jus. I could tell before I dipped my sandwich that it was very oily, but gave it a dippin’ anyway. My sandwich where I dipped it was clear and had no taste. I tried to take it back and get actual au jus and not all the oil from the meat. They could not get me any because all their au just was pure oil! So gross and so disappointing because the meat was very tender and sliced thin, just how I like it. And, it was served on a fresh roll. I would have given this place 5 stars! Get your au jus right! And, if you can’t use the juices from the meat, then mix up some au jus with broth… No one wants to dip a sandwich in tasteless oil!

We arrived late on our first night in Las Vegas so after checking in at the adjacent Grandview, we made the short walk to the South Point and picked up a couple of Bud Lites at one of the bars using funbook coupons and settled in this deli. Most everything at this restaurant is oversized so we decided to share a pastrami on rye that included a small side of potato salad and a pickle slice. Though the pastrami was lean and bountiful, the sandwich was on the dry side. I used another funbook coupon good for 15% off.

I know I’ve had food from here before in the past but from what I can remember, someone always ordered and brought it to me when they were at the South Point Casino. I was here twice today, Christmas Day. Twice because I went out with my family to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was about 9 in the morning and we hadn’t had breakfast yet. We picked up our tickets last night and the girl at the ticket counter informed us that Christmas Day is their busiest day of the year, so we had to get there early if we wanted good seats and didn’t want to stand in line. Well, I mention it because that’s the only reason I would be at the casino at 9 in the morning. It was about 75 more minutes before the movie started so we decided to get some food. Compared to all our other options at this casino at this time, this was our best option. And to be quite honest, I’d choose this place over Coronado Café for breakfast and late night eats.
For breakfast, I ordered the foot long hot dog which is $ 3.95 and comes with a side of chips. You can add toppings if you like, and what’s awesome about this is that they give you a good amount of it for no additional charge! Which at first I only expected sauerkraut and grilled onions because that’s what I heard when I ordered. So it was a nice surprise to find a huge side of sauerkraut, grilled onions and CHEESE on my hot dog. Unless I’m at a specialty hot dog joint, I don’t usually see cheese on hot dogs.
I also tried a bite of the pastrami sandwich (on rye) which had a good portion of pastrami slices. It was tasty.
They also have a huge selection of self serve, pump style condiments against the wall near the dine in area. Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, deli mustard, relish, hot sauce and more. I also liked the framed posters of old movies on the wall.
After the movie, we decided to pick up some food to go. I decided to go with the Corned Beef Rueben. I love Reuben! That is my favorite sandwich at the deli, so I decided to try this one. Compared to others that I’ve had, the corned beef was thick and flavorful but I wish they grilled the whole sandwich more so the cheese would be a little more melted. Oh, and the menu shows that you can choose from cole slaw, potato salad or chips… but they have no problem substituting fries for your side! Just ask!
Oh and I can’t forget the DESSERTS. This is what first caught my eye as I walked up to the deli counter. Even though I’m not eating any desserts I can write about it to satisfy my former sweet tooth. And you can enjoy it for me :). You should see them in person. My photos don’t do them justice. Each cake slice, brownie slice, cheesecake slice, tiramisu, cookies, muffins and almost all their desserts are HUGE. Each dessert is about 4 – 6 inches wide and about an inch thick. It can serve 2 – 3 people depending on your appetite for sweets. The only ones that were normal size were the chocolate covered strawberries and cannoli.
We also ordered the cheesecake with strawberries as well, but I had to hold myself back from trying it, as I’m watching my sugar intake (no diabetes for me.) :(You don’t even know how sad it made me. It’s Christmas Day too. I don’t know why the dark side was tempting me to try it. I’ve had great willpower since I’ve started this no dessert thing. It could be because it’s the magical time of the year when there are beautiful sweets galore everywhere… smiling, twinkling, batting their eyelashes saying, «Eat me. eat me. eat me. Just one bite, Michelle. It won’t kill you. Eeeeeeeat meeeee.»
But The Force was strong in me today. I did not give in to the seduction of the cheesecake. Take that cheesecake!
All in all I can say I’ll be back again.

The bagels are so fresh and the bacon is delicious. Coffee not so good. I have visited twice this week for the bagels and bacon. I had my bagels toasted with butter and jelly. I will definitely return. Customer service is good and they keep their dining area clean and in order. The bagels and bacon get the five stars and I bought my coffee from Seattle’s Best Coffee around the corner on my second day visit.

Best corned beef ever!!! My go to deli in town when I want some delicious bagels and corned beef. Small deli that packs a punch. Just look at the desert case and stare away at heaven.

It’s bagel café! Got soup. Was delicious and half turkey sandwich. Came out quickly! Better than the gross Buffett. How much can one eat anyway?!

Great place for a sandwich or a snack, located next to the Sports Book. It’s usually busy, so expect to wait a few minutes. I’ve had the gyro and the hot dog there… The gyro was okay but the hot dog was great! See my picture. The sandwich portions are huge, and the prices are not too bad. I will definitely eat here again when I’m at South Point.

GREAT and FAST! A little chaotic, but delicious and took no time at all to be ready. The sandwich was HUGE and worth the seven bucks easy.

I was craving breakfast for dinner so I ordered eggs with hash browns and sausage which sounded amazing. It tasted great but within a few hours I got sick and had a rather unpleasant experience.
All in all I’d go back since my date enjoyed her bagel with lox. I don’t think I would get the eggs, hash browns and sausage.
I’d probably go for a sandwich =)
Good luck with your decision making!

I am not a huge fan of sandwiches in general, but their pastrami reuben was so good, I ordered one to take home with me! We also bought two pieces of cake to take home. Both are delicious! I only wish they had labels for all the pastries, I might have chosen different.

I can’t comment on the other food at this place but the chicken finger meal is a joke. The chicken fingers were very dry and heavily breaded. The fries had a weird seasoning and was not good at all.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for a quick bite while trying our luck at The South Point Casino. We were looking for something quick that wasn’t a buffet or fast food.
I ordered the French Dip with provolone cheese and a side of potato salad. The roast beef was very bland and disappointing for what you pay. My boyfriend stated that all the flavor from a French Dip comes from the au jus, but I have had much more mouthwatering sandwiches elsewhere.
The potato salad is where they saved themselves. At first glance, it seemed to be too yellow from too many hard boiled eggs, but the taste was divine. I think they may have soaked the potatoes in pickle juice which is a must for any great potato salad (in my opinion). Add a dash of pepper and this is the perfect side item.

Sadly this was just «ok». I have been here in the past and the food used to be amazing. The flavor of my Reuben sandwich was just non existent. Corned beef has a great flavor when properly prepared. This sandwich was just bland.
While pricey I would have happily paid it for a sandwich with good flavor.
The saving grace (and reason this is getting any stars) DESSERT! Their cheesecake slices were huge and very tasty! Check that part out

Awsome!!! Why wait in line at steak and shake when this gem is hidden in the corner.

My second time eating here and it was good. Tonight we had turkey clubs. Very good and the sandwich was huge! $ 12 for the sandwich and potato salad. Little pricey for a club sandwich. Only negative besides price was the potato salad. I didn’t care for it cause it was mustard potato salad.

Loved this place during our stay a South Point, ate here every day during our stay! I would have given this place 5 stars except they don’t have avocado… weird for a sandwich place to NOT have avocado (first-​world problems, I know, I know). Bagels are fresh and yummy, turkey pastrami was super tasty and the strawberry shortcake was so light and delicious, that the GIGANTIC piece disappeared in moments!

So I should of expected a higher price due to it being in a casino so I am not going to complain about the food portion vs price. My sandwich was a philly steak it was ok but not worth the money. It tasted more like steakum meat then fresh steak. My husband paid 10 for a single cheeseburger and fries and the burger was a frozen patty and tasted like one. The cashier was very transactional which I find odd with this being a tourist town. I don’t think I would order a meal from here again but I def want to try one of their deserts they looked fresh and tasty and the size is enough for two people. A suggestion too would be to get some cheesewiz for your cheesesteak it will help with the flavor. I don’t mind paying more for food from casinos because that is the norm, I just don’t like when I pay more and am not happy with my food.

Quick, high-​quality sandwiches and other quick offerings. The portions are generous and everything was high quality. Service was good, though it is just counter service (then you can eat at the nearby sports bar, keno, or the small restaurant seating space).
Tip…there’s a discount coupon in the book you get on hotel check-​in.
Oh, and the desserts were ridiculously large and very tasty.
