Carnegie Deli at the Mirage Casino & Resort on the Las Vegas Strip closed right after Super Bowl Sunday. It will be replaced by a “new fast casual restaurant concept” in the spring. It is still unknown what it will be named or if it will remain a deli.

The original Carnegie Deli opened on Seventh Avenue in New York in 1937. The Mirage location opened in 2005, and survived the 2016 shuttering of the original location. There remains one location at Madison Square Garden in New York.  The Mirage Casino & Resort is owned by MGM Resorts International.
