If you departed IAH instead of EWR, you would receive cold nuts (served in bag), a choice of salad (chicken or shrimp) or hot sandwich, both served with a bowl of soup. Dessert is a "Dentist's Friend" candy, and freshly baked cookies are served about 45 minutes before arrival.
None of this is correct. That is the transcon meal service. As discussed, EWR-LAS is NOT transcon.
You will get warm nuts, soup and a choice of 2 entrees -- one is salad w/protein (chicken or shrimp usually), the other varies. Maybe lasagna, a chicken dish, etc. You do get ice cream sundaes for dessert, but note that this is only on the "dinner" flights, not the "lunch" flights. True transcon lunch flights do get sundaes.
