LA Favorite Fat Sal’s Now Open In Las Vegas: Try The Big Fat Fatty

A Los Angeles favorite is now open in Las Vegas. And if you like big food - I mean really big food - you're going to love Fat Sal's Deli. 

Fat Sal's Las Vegas location is now open inside Neonopolis in Downtown Las Vegas. There will be a formal opening, and ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 11am. Complete with a DJ, and custom merchandise drops, and giveaways.

Bobby Sabas, co-founder of Twenty4 Hospitality Group, the group operating the location, said in a news release: "People have been asking for a Fat Sal’s in Las Vegas for years, and we’re thrilled to finally make it happen," We’ve brought our over-the-top guilty pleasure sandwiches and sides to the Las Vegas community, and we invite everyone to come in and enjoy a taste of what we have to offer."

Fat Sal's Las Vegas menu features all the originals. Deli classics, hamburgers, cheeseburgers - including a vegan Impossible burger - their signature "Fat fries," and their signature "Fat sandwiches." Like the famous Fat Sal: Thinly sliced ribeye steak, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries, brown gravy, mayo on a garlic hero. $18.99, and it sounds fabulous. FILLING, but fabulous!

If you're up for it, get a few of your friends to try the Big Fat Fatty. On a 30-inch garlic hero, it's piled with cheesesteak, cheeseburgers, pastrami, chicken fingers, bacon, mozzarella sticks, fried eggs, fries, onion rings, chili, marinara sauce and Fat Sauce. It will set you back $99.

There's also the "Big Fat Fat Shake" It loaded with 30 scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream- each - along with cake, and cookies, and pretzels, and syrup, and whipped cream. Also $99 (and possibly a visit to a cardiologist).

If you finish the Big Fat Fatty in 40 minutes, or finish the Big Fat Shake in 10 minutes, that item is free. Which is kind of gross - or maybe a freebie is just the incentive you need!

From Sept. 10 through Oct. 31, Fat Sal's will also donate $1.50 from each Fat Jerry sandwich (thinly sliced ribeye steak, grilled onions, melted American cheese, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, crisp bacon, fried egg, fries, mayo, ketchup, salt & pepper on a hero) to a great Las Vegas Non-Profit, Project 150.

Project 150 provides free support and services to homeless, displaced, and disadvantaged high school students so they can stay in school, graduate, and look towards a bright future.

Now go help an amazing organization with a Fat sandwich from the LA favorite, Fat Sal's Deli!

Gjelina is moving into the Venetian's Restaurant Row area and will be open for lunch and dinner.
