Sports Deli is located at the Rio Hotel, next door to the sports betting area and next door to Pho Da Nang Vietnamese Kitchen.
Since I was staying at the Rio, I had the option to opt out of maid service during my 5 day stay and earn a $10 food credit towards selected restaurants at the hotel (including this place, Pho Da Nang, Carnival World Buffet, Guy Fieri's El Burro Borracho, All American Bar & Grille, Voodoo Steakhouse, Hash House A Go Go, Starbucks). So I ended up deciding to redeem my food credit here and ordered:
Turkey Pesto Sandwich, $15 prior to tax + $1 for to go order + tax= 17.32 total.
I was pretty surprised to find on my bill that I was charged an extra $1 for requesting this item to be to go. If I had just ordered here and perhaps asked for a box, I would have saved $1. No where does it show on the menu board or menu that there is an extra charge for to go orders. Also the employee ringing me up did not bother to inform me of the charge.
This sandwich came with a large amount of thick cut fries. My husband and I decided to consume this sandwich the next morning when we fly out of McCarran International Airport, but we did eat the fries the day we purchased it since cold fries don't usually taste good. The fries itself was good, but oily (what you would expect from this time of fare).
The next day, our sandwich was tasty with plenty of pesto and turkey meat. The sourdough bread held up to the sandwich well, even the next day (nothing worse than trying to eat a sandwich with soggy bread or it falling apart and all over you... what a mess).
I am disappointed that this place charges too much for their food items and I am especially upset that I was charged extra for my item being made to go.
Even if I had another $10 credit at this place again, I wouldn't come here. I can see why there are so many negative reviews for this place.
