Can you imagine life without sandwiches? We can't. Sandwiches have been around for a long time.
John Montagu, the 4th earl of Sandwich, is credited with creating the sandwich. As the story goes, Montagu (13 November 1718-30 April 1792) loved to play cards. When he was playing and he was hungry, he would order his meat to be delivered to him between two slices of bread so that he would not get his fingers greasy. Other people began doing the same and that is how the sandwich was borne.
So, if you love sandwiches, we encourage you to celebrate today by eating one. Here is a list of great sandwiches around the Las Vegas valley:
