The Hat, a 75-year-old eatery from southern California that specializes in pastrami, is finally imminent. It’s been a long time coming; here’s what we wrote on May 4, 2019, nearly seven years ago: “The Hat World Famous Pastrami, with 11 locations in southern California, has announced plans to build a 4,000-square-foot branch in southwest Las Vegas. The Hat, which serves a pastrami dip and pastrami burger, roast beef, barbecue beef, and steak sandwiches ($10.49), eight other burgers ($4.79-$6.29), cold sandwiches, and three kinds of fries ($5.29-$7.19), will open on S. Rainbow Blvd. between Russell and Sunset roads. No opening date has been announced.” And we posted an update in June of last year after indications were a “spring 2026 opening.” The chain is now hiring for the Vegas location, which is nearing completion, and the latest opening date is pegged at late May-early June.
