Los Angeles' much-loved Fat Sal's Deli is fattening up its presence with a new spot that landed in Downtown Las Vegas. Officially opened within the vibrant Neonopolis on Fremont Street, this marks Fat Sal's first foray into Nevada, bringing with it an array of indulgent eats that border on the outrageous. According to News 3 LV, the grand opening festivities are set for September 19, complete with a ribbon-cutting event, music from a DJ, a drop of custom merchandise, and promises of giveaways.

Fat Sal's continues its tradition of indulgence with its famous Fat Sandwiches, burgers, and 'Fat Fries.' Try the "Big Fat Fatty" or the giant "Big Fat Fat Shake," both priced at $99.99, where finishing them earns you a free meal. Additionally, from September 10 to October 31, $1.50 from each Fat Jerry sandwich sold will be donated to Project 150, according to News 3 LV.

Not just content with tipping the scales with their hefty portions and calorific confections, this expansion is just one part of Fat Sal's wider growth strategy. With seven locations already pleasing fans in Southern California and an international outpost in Riyadh, the Las Vegas location adds another notch to their belt. For those keeping an eye out for more, another branch in Las Vegas is anticipated this November inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, as reported by The Review Journal.

The Deli, founded by the trio of Salvatore Capek (also known as Fat Sal), Josh Stone, and Jerry Ferrara (famously recognized for his role as Turtle in HBO's "Entourage"), specializes in placing bar food favorites like mozzarella sticks and onion rings into their sandwiches. This 'Make It Fatter' attitude is manifest in a menu section home to about 50 possible add-ons for customizable gluttony, a concept that surely expands the waistline alongside their business footprint. As noted by The Review Journal, Fat Sal's isn't just a deli, it's a culture of caloric comfort, one that's now serving up its hearty helpings to Las Vegas locals and visitors alike.
