Best Deli:
The Stage Deli (tel. 702/893-4045), in Caesars, will give no cause for complaints (your mouth will be too packed with out-of-this-world pastrami to say much of anything).
Best New Orleans Cuisine:
Emeril's New Orleans Fish House (tel. 702/891-7374), in the MGM Grand, and his Delmonico Steakhouse (tel. 702/414-3737), in The Venetian, bring the celebrity chef's "Bam!" cuisine to the other side of the Mississippi, and we are glad.
Best Red Meat:
Lawry's The Prime Rib, 4043 Howard Hughes Pkwy. (tel. 702/893-2223), has such good prime rib it's hard to imagine ever having any better. If you want cuts other than prime rib, Charlie Palmer's (tel. 702/632-5120) in the Four Seasons has some of the best steaks in town, though the more budget-conscious might want to either split the enormous cuts or try the very popular Austin's Steakhouse.
