Philly cheesesteak $10
Served on amoroso rolls or you can have it as a wrap.
Mushrooms grilled onions sautéed green peppers jalepenos and marinara sauce.
Super delicious.
Definitely one of the best Phillys I've had in Vegas. The sandwich comes cut in half and I could only eat half /: and as much as I wanted to keep eating I knew I had to stop, their steak fries are the best side choice with the Philly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Keith A.Las Vegas, NV364409373Jun 20, 2010
saw Blair's review of the place and i figured WTF i drive by ths place all the time, why not give it a try ?!?
Hit it for lunch last week and i'll be damned ! decent philly steak ! And i haven't had curly fries in a long time and these were good by me - dunk 'em in the 'ol ranch dressing I'm coming back for sure.
Cost about $12 bucks with the diet coke - might be a lil on the pricey side but they did have some lunch / dinner specials that i'll try someday soon.

First to review?! This place is a freaking GEM. Want cheap DELICIOUS bar food ? Screw going to PT's, this is the spot. My coworkers have been coming here for years (the insanely cheap "taco tuesday" special is a staff favorite) and finally dragged me to this hole in the wall one day. I didn't expect much from the humble surroundings, but I was blown away by the food!
Ok ignore anything I've said about Philly steaks in other reviews. THIS my friends is the best Philly steak I've had in Las Vegas.

After walking all day at CES at the Convention Center, there was no way on God's green earth that I was going to go home an cook dinner. Even the thought of microwaving a couple of Lean Cuisines was more work than I could bear. So a scant two nights after our first encounter with Triple Play, we decided to return. Hubby was eager to try their well-respected Cheese Steak. I figured I'd get some sort of sandwich, too. But when we walked in and I saw the little blackboard announcing that Tuesday is Chicken Tortilla Soup, and the Entree Special was Pork Roast for 7.99, it was a no-brainer.
At that price I sure wasn't expecting much. But I'm a quick learner, and the lesson here is that you can get quality, quantity, and a low price all in one little restaurant check.
The Chicken Tortilla Soup isn't exactly the same species as what you'd get in Mexico. Here it was very thick and creamy, and very, very spicy. I'm not a fan of cream soups, not because I don't like them, but because they don't like me. But I have to admit, though,even through my burning throat and running nose, that it was delicious.
I tasted the Cheese Steak, a food I've had maybe twice in my life (for the same reason as cream soups); it tasted fine, but since I'm no connoisseur, I have no idea if it deserves the accolades accorded it by the waitress and other reviewers. Hubby sure liked it, and for him to like something that doesn't cluck is a major deal.
I couldn't believe the plate of food placed before me when my Pork Roast special was delivered: three thick slices of the Other White Meat, a portion of savory and delicious stuffing, a scoop of real mashed potatoes, a small cup of applesauce, a bowl of gravy (I asked for it on the side), corn off the cob, and a slab of hot and tasty garlic bread. $7.99????? I don't understand how they do it! I would have preferred the green veggies from the other night, for color and nutritional balance, but I sure ain't complaining. Oh, the pork was a little bit dry, but since I really don't touch gravy, I couldn't benefit from that moisture. The weight of the take-home box assured me I'd be having this meal maybe two more times.
Hmmm, I forgot to look on the menu to see what specials are on the other six nights of the week, but I'm sure I'll find out in person before too much time passes.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jan 9, 2013Previous reviewYou want atmosphere? You're not gonna get it here. We must have driven by Triple Play a million times and never noticed it. It's a hole-in-the-wall kind of place that's nondescript on the outside. But with an Entertainment coupon beckoning us, we figured it was a good place to go for a quick dinner after a show at LVH that ended close to 10:00 p.m. and was on the way back home.
The inside isn't more impressive than the exterior: dark, a little smoky in the restaurant from the proximity of the bar area, the video poker machines populated by the sort of locals who you just know have an intimate relationship with the stool they're sitting on.
The dining room - mostly vinyl-covered booths surrounding a few pub tables in the center - was tired-looking, and I would have jumped at the opportunity to be handed an expense account to do a complete make-over.
So with all these negatives, why am I giving Triple Play five stars?
1. The food is delicious.
2. The portions are BIG.
3. The prices are incredible.
4. The service was outstanding.
5. The leftovers meant no cooking the next night.
One star for each.
Oh, and the last time I saw a glass of wine in a restaurant priced at 3.25, gasoline was .75 cents a gallon! But five stars is as high as I can go.
Besides the usual burgers, sandwiches, and cheese steaks (which the waitress said is what they're known for), there are dinner entrees. The entrees come with soup or salad, plus two sides. The soup of the day was vegetable beef, which was calling my name on this very cold night. It was astoundingly delicious - homemade, not overly salty, with big chunks of very good beef and lots of fresh veggies. Our server said they use prime rib for the soup, and prime rib is their Saturday night special. I hope it isn't made with peoples' leftovers!
My Lemon Chicken was wonderful, a grilled chicken breast pounded thin, well-seasoned with lemon and herbs, but without any gloppy sauce that that dish often has. For my sides I had a [big] baked potato, and veggies, and I was delighted that the veggies were fresh string beans, carrots, and mushrooms. In this kind of atmosphere I'd expect canned, but they weren't even frozen!
Hubby chose Chicken Teriyaki and ordered the same sides, but started with a salad instead of the soup. His salad was very big, and had a lot of stuff besides the lettuce.
We were here two nights ago, and since we said we'd definitely go back, we did tonight, and so I'll update this review momentarily! Oh, and unlike many video poker joints, the kitchen here is open 24 hours. - Sabrina M.North Las Vegas, NV0106Jul 4, 2012

Let's face it folks, watching Top Chef at 2am is going to lead to a little night food hunt.
A quick thought, I have not been to Triple Play in....Well years, far to long actually...And I want a good Philly Cheese Steak...
So off we go, the wife complaining that I am dragging her across town (15 minutes) to a place she has never been (she's been a couple of times) and she probably won't like (she did the couple of other times).
Anyways, it looked closed when we rolled up at 3am, never have I seen the parking lot empty, but tonight it was...This cannot be good ! Has the place closed down? has the food gone to hell ? Nope it was just dead.
There was a time that all I had to do was walk through the door, the waitresses would put in my order and bring me a diet coke...Those days are gone, now I am a nobody...How the mighty have fallen...Guess I should visit there more than once every 5 years huh.
Anyways, I ordered the Philly cheese steak with mushrooms, the wife had the burger, would the Philly still be good ?
Oh hell yes it is, the meat is good, the cheese is good (no cheese wizz used but hey it's Vegas not Philly) and a fantastic roll.
There are certain things that bring back memories for people, smells, sights, taste...Yep this Philly has not changed in the 20 plus years I have been eating it. It really is the best in town and certainly worth the drive to get it.
As a note, it was actually displaced for a short while by a philly place set up in a Texaco gas station at Lake Mead and Buffalo (now gone but not forgotten) so if you're a Philly lover go for it.
The Cheeseburger also got the thumbs up from the wife.
The service was good, as the only people in there it should be, but the server was friendly, quick to refill drinks and didn't press us to pay the bill quickly...
Ok, Philly, cheeseburger, two soft drinks..$18...Yep I am happy.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Dec 17, 2013
Philly cheese steak was great. Almost made me think I was on the east coast. Sadly this place closes this week as they sold the business. The bar maid was sweet and I wish the staff and employees the best of luck. Happy to have had the opportunity to enjoy a great sandwich.

Hmmmm. This is a Vegas classic, dark, smokey, cheap drinks and cheap food. I was there with a group of maybe 12. We did find seating, although we had to inhabit one of their 4- plex poker machine table thingys. I'm not much of a gambler but this place obviously caters to them big time. There are quite a few machines of all types stuffed into this place (and this place isn't all that big)
There was some kind of big wheel thing that people were spinning off and on throughout the night, not sure what you win, but it was the center of attention when someone stepped up to it.
Like I said, cheap drinks and cheap food. Friendly bartenders are key, and they nailed that one on the proverbial head. You can tell the regulars there too, nice people they were. Easy to strike up some convo with. Not a place I'd go out of my way for, but if in the area, it's a good watering hole for sure.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - K B.Las Vegas, NV113204119Mar 25, 2012
Let's be clear, there is nothing fancy about this place BUT there is no better place to grab a chicken Philly cheese steak!
I literally get cravings as do my friends and make the pilgrimage about once every month-we all live on the other side of town.
No place lasts 20+ years in Vegas if they aren't good.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
