Really, I have. I've eaten there more than half a dozen times, in search of praiseworthy eats; alas, no luck. To me, their corned beef is dry and lacking flavor. Their pastrami is better by a hair (perhaps not the best word to use in this context), but tastes mostly like corned beef, with little of pastrami's signature spiciness. Other places I've been to weren't much better. I give Canter's a slight nod in the pastrami department, but only a slight nod. And what's this about needing "...some melted swiss cheese?" That's treif! I'd complain even louder if it weren't for the fact that I'm the deli black sheep of my family: I like my pastrami on white bread. With mayonnaise. ("Oy vey, son, if your father weren't already dead, it would kill him!") The delicatessen curmudgeon in me has forced me to reply ;-)

Katz. and Schwarz in Montreal, which sort of won the day. I can't disagree, but I will be eating a Langer's on Monday, before I head to XIV for dinner. But I must respecfully disagree about Canter's vs Carnegie. Though I am no fan of Carnegie, I still rate it the top toque in Vegas pastrami. John-I just read a piece online about Langer’s.

Apparently it loses any measure of distinctive flavor on its journey West from New York. A better bet is to walk just next door to Canter's Deli in Treasure Island. If you can stand the horribly long wait, their meats are much better than Carnegie. And yes, they have the swiss cheese, Russian dressing--and sauerkraut, that ELV craves on a decent sandwich from a nice Jewish place. Skip the sapid pastrami and corned beef at Carnegie Deli.
