Stage Deli

Their employee really knew how to ruin good corned beef! It could have been good if they had only trained their employee to slice it against the grain, not with the grain, resulting in stringy, tough slabs. My jaw got tired of chewing. Unfortunately, I had it packed to go so I didn’t notice it until I got back to my hotel. I really wanted to give it back and give them a lesson on how to cut the beef. If you want corned beef flavored beef jerky, by all means, go there. There’s only one way it could have been worse… put it on white bread with mayo.

This is the best people-​watching spot in all of MGM. Grab a table, buy a bag of chips (they sadly don’t serve popcorn), get a fountain drink, sit back, and watch the hilarity that ensues when drunk clubgoers stumble out starting at 2am on the weekend.
The food’s alright.

These guys were RUDE! There was no one in line the guy couldn’t even take the time to listen to my whole order!!! I asked for whit bread he put it on rye. I ordered roast beef and he didn’t even take the time to layer it properly everything was just slapped on.
The roast beef was bland and so was the matzo ball soup. I wish I would have just gone to subway!!! It would have tasted so much better and at least their bread tastes fresh!!!

Quick and legit deli style eats right by the madness that is the sports book and Hakkassan nightclub. I ordered the pastrami on white bread NY style which for $ 3 more adds 3 more ounces or so of meat. I was hungry. Dont judge me. The plate comes with sliced pickles. The pastrami had great flavor. The bread was soft. The wonder bread white loaf slices stuck to the roof of my mouth after every bite. The sandwich is served plain. You add your own ketchup via packets at the condiments table. Sandwiches are made right then and there when you pay. I also got a large soda and the total for everything was about $ 17 and change. Stage Deli is a nice alternative to the fast food options at the MGM.

Stayed at the MGM and had to have come and eaten here atleast once a day to have their Matza ball soup and/​or lox and bagel. Yumminess! Soup is perfect if you’ve been drinking which is quite easy to do in Vegas.

in No way should this place be called a deli, its a sandwich shop, and a poor one, i saw a man seemed like a long sub roll, yet had only 1 thin slice of thin deli counter ham, food here is imported, so after looking at the pitiful sandwich, i decided on just a bowl of chicken soup and a matzoh ball to go… i dont think this soup, ever met a chicken, there were slices of dried out chicken, no vegetable carrots onion celery, NONE, it tasted like warm water, no salt anywhere, not the soup, not the matzoh ball. totally tasteless, in fact the 3 nights i was there, i only saw that one other person, that has to tell u something, DONT GO, go across the street to the NY NY, Greenbergs deli, a real Jewish style deli.

The MGM poker room and Stage Deli’s sandwiches go together like peanut butter and jelly. But PB&J sandwiches aren’t offered at Stage Deli.
Thoroughly confused? Here’s the explanation:
When playing poker at MGM (and clocked in with your MLife players card), you’ll earn $ 1 an hour at the $ 1/​$ 2 table, or $ 2 an hour at the $ 2/​$ 5 table. That might not sound like much, but it actually adds up pretty quickly and unlike regular MLife comp dollars, these NEVER expire. After wracking up those dollars, see the floor man for your running total, and to redeem a voucher for discounted or FREE food at Stage Deli. He’ll even have a Stage Deli menu available with all the item pricing (including tax) so that you can have that voucher printed out for the exact desired amount.
Sometimes during a long poker session, you might not feel like taking a long break for a fancy lunch or dinner. A quick, simple sandwich might hit the spot, and that’s exactly what Stage Deli offers, in addition to soups, salads, breakfast, drinks and desserts.
The service is extremely fast, moderately friendly, and the sandwiches are reasonably priced ($ 8.95 to $ 10.25). All meats are delivered from the East Coast. The taste is… Acceptable. Do expect to dress your sandwich up a bit with the provided condiments, and donn’t expect to be blown away by quality or uniqueness. Speed and simplicity should be what is appreciated at Stage Deli.

They open 24 hours on weekends. I got a matzo ball soup ($ 5) and potato salad ($ 2.95). Potato salad is good, normal stuff like you would get at a Pavilions deli. The soup I thought was really good — the broth was flavorful and there was big chunks of chicken, carrots and onions. Matzo ball tasted a little weird and mushy to me, although I can’t really comment on that since this is the first time I’ve had matzo ball. For $ 5 at a Vegas hotel though? I was pretty impressed.

I remember the original Stage Deli in NYC and was lucky enough to have eaten there a few times. Their corned beef,(served with a side of potato salad) –was unreal. This was during the «pre-​gloves» era and they would use their hands to plop down the meat onto rye bread.
This version at the MGM is a «nice try but no cigar“kind of place. The meat wasn’t as moist as I would have liked it nor was the rye bread.
The potato salad was extra too…

Meh. Food comes out fast and is fine for a quick bite, but not the best sandwich you’ll ever have. Reuben on untoasted bread was soggy.

Frustrating to pay more for low quality.
I’m on vacation in a casino. I expect to pay more, but at least for something good. The sandwich I ordered was $ 10 but used grocery bread and iceberg lettuce. There was no empty tables and the lady at the counter said, «You can sit at Starbucks…» I walked over to Starbucks with a tray and a number of people bumped into me and almost knocked over my food.
Did I mention that the sandwich was not that great??? This place was near the west entrance near the convenience store with a Subway. Subway would have been almost 50% of the cost and much better quality.

The worst service I’ve experienced inside a hotel/​casino. We were recently working the Latin Grammy Awards at Hakkasan, and this place was close by, so we tried it. I did not expect a hispanic speaking person to take my order, and then an asian person who barely spoke english to ring me up and take my money for 3 sandwiches that totaled $ 60.00. The food was plain, the service was terrible, and I will never ever go back to this deli.

I asked to put cheese on the sandwich the lady looks over her shoulder and yells «hey! Put cheese on that turkey!» And I guess the guy had already made the sandwich. So he didn’t want to go through the trouble of wrapping it up again, because we know that takes so long. So the guy decided to slice 3 pieces of cheese put it on a plate and wrap it in clear plastic. I didn’t find out until I took it to my room.
The only reason this is a 3 star review and is because the sandwich was good. I asked what was in the sandwich after I paid and the lady sighed and said just lettus. Who wants to eat a sandwich with just meat and lettus. How hard is it to say «would you like tomatoes and onions?» especially if your paying $ 9.50 for a sandwich. Or at least wright that on the sign somewhere.
Next time I’ll go to the food court.

It ain’t Katz’s or the Carnegie. Sandwiches are cheaper with less meat. I had the pastrami which was kinda dry but fair.

I love pastrami! if could get the real «homemade stuff» I’d eat it at least once a week!
It’s so hard to find fresh homemade pastrami outside of NYC. Stage Deli is located in the MGM next to the sports book. The sandwiches run about $ 9 they are pretty small compared to Carnegie but they are also half the price, so pretty much the same thing in my book. I really liked the pastrami from here, very soft and tender and very flavorful, i liked it better than Carnegie (in the Mirage) it was more moist. I also got the Daily double, half pastrami half corned beef, i think it was about a $ 1 more, also very good.
Best pastrami ive had in a very long time! Next time ill just order a pastrami with double meat to make it as big as Carnegie.

We went to Stage Deli at the MGM late one night after watching a show. The sandwiches and chili dog were okay.
The Pastrami Reuben was okay. It had a lot of meat and was kind of tasty. But after traveling to New York and eating sandwiches there, it wasn’t really a comparison.
The chili was okay but nothing special. The hot dog was a little skinny and didn’t have a snap.
Overall it did the job of a late night snack.

Ate the summer barley soup. $ 5 for a good sized bowl of warm goodness smack dab in the middle of the casino? Let’s not get too judgemental, people. That’s a good deal for a meal literally steps outside of Hakkasan to end your drunken night of shuffling and/​or fist pumping.
There were plenty of veggies, chicken, and barley (duh, it’s called barley soup)… And I liked it! Can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but I’m a soup gal. I probably wouldn’t order anything else anyway.
Haters gon hate.

The meat is decent but it’s way over priced for the sandwich you get. I mean, I know it’s supposed to be «fast» but this just sucks. I wished I walked out to the strip and just went to mcdonalds.

Casual, cheap and convenient. That’s basically what I was looking for at 10PM on a Saturday before heading into Hakkasan. My plan was to grab a quick bite somewhere since I knew I’d later have to take up the challenge along with the rest of my friends to knock out bottles and bottles of drinks along with 40+ drink tickets we received for the VIP bottle service we requested that night.
Stage Deli serves as a casual dining spot for those looking to get a quick bite to eat in between gambling, shopping, bar hopping and what not. Located in between the nightclub, Rainforest Café and the MGM casino, this place is definitely easy to find. The prices here are very reasonable compared to other MGM dining spots and they are also quick in preparing their sandwiches. After placing an order on a Reuben sandwich, the order was quickly prepped and ready to eat in a matter of minutes which was perfect! I actually liked the sandwich and how tender, juicy and flavorful it was! It’s definitely no Earl of Sandwich, but it’s decent and not so bad as others have expressed. There are plenty of places to sit as well so not a problem there.

The Stage Deli in New York closed a few years ago, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the name in the MGM Grand.
Among many high priced restaurants, the Stage Deli seems like a reasonable choice. In any other locale it might be considered overpriced. Neither of us was particularly hungry, and we were planning on meeting up with relatives so we wanted something quick.
There are tables, but there is no table service. The menu includes the typical sandwiches — corned beef, pastrami, etc. They have other typical deli fare including soup. Kerrie and I shared a Matzo Ball Soup and fresh fruit. On the menu, which we didn’t get, were various Dr Brown’s sodas.
The soup was outstanding. The fruit was okay. I really wish they offered table service.
