Deliver in every department ??? need help

[arden_dianaw]

Could you please explain what does that phrase mean? I am looking for a
synonym... Is it like: a person has to deliver in every department? What about
places, machines, etc.
I would be really grateful :)

Im not sure if I understand you...perhaps you could provide more
details? Deliver what to every dept.? :)

Well, that's the point - I understand deliver to a dept. ;), but I found deliver
in every department (in an article on tourism - it is from a British magazine)
and to be more exact:
"Spectacular, colourful - Las Vegas was delivering in every department" and two
last sentences "Las Vegas really delivered. There is so much more to this city
than gambling!".
It is just that I came across such a phrase for the first time, can't find it in
any dictionary or the Internet.

"Deliver in every department" means more or less the same as meet
all expectations, win on all fronts, satisfy all the needs.
