I've visited a few times and I'm a fan. The line here can get long, especially for breakfast and lunch times but what are you going to do. They do have a good amount of employees and everything has been very tasty. It's busy because it's good. Of course prices here are higher than they should be but like I always say, sometimes the quality is deserving of higher prices. Also, the mango sorbet is unbelievable.

I almost told him to remake it but since I'm here on company dime I just let it go and am sipping on it as if it was ice water. calling it a diet meal

GETTING HERE:…read more Located at the Linq Promenade in Las Vegas, near the Flamingo and Linq hotels. REVIEW: I forgot pictures because I was locked in! Ghirardelli is the only chocolate I eat, sorry not sorry. :) It just tastes *different, and since I was a first timer to this location I had to take it all in. :) Service was OK enough. There was one employee who seemed to be manning the front entrance, greeting customers, etc., and then once he got them inside he would direct another employee to ring up the order. I only have been to the location at California Adventure, so I didn't have a lot to compare it to, but this was very good time as well. If you're at the Linq Promenade, you have to make a stop here. At least for one square to give you sustenance for the tables and slots!

I've been coming here for years, and the Banana Split is still one of my all-time favorites. Their chocolates are top-notch, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a nice stop while walking the Strip. Update from today: I tried the Dubai Chocolate Sundae, and it was absolutely amazing! Rich, delicious, and definitely worth trying. The staff was super friendly, and Tara was amazing -- very kind and made the experience even better. Seating is limited, but the experience and desserts are totally worth it!

It's reasonable since not all of us are alcoholic haha but she did wanted get wasted with me while walking on the strip. When we first saw this place and the ambiance.. its regular desert ice cream place or whatnot right.. wrong! Cause their deserts you can spiked it to your liking, which means put in some shots baby :p Their service is pretty cool as well cause they recommended us the kalua shot in a chocolate malt shake. Oh yeah gotta believe it... my girl loves this place cause she got buzzed too while enjoying her chocolate malt. It hits like truck and before you noticed it.. you're waste my friend haha.. Overall, a definite recommendation for tourist alike :) PS: Chocolate Malt with chocolate chips and kalua shots (Mindblowing) haha

They also sell their famous cereal milk soft serve and coffees/teas too. Check out the menu's dessert deals which bundle 2 or more of their items with a few bucks savings compared to if they were purchased separately. Cookies cannot be purchased individually and must be bought in sets of 3. We tried the compost cookie, oatmeal cream, and the peanut butter flavors-- the compost cookie had the most structure and chew, some crunch from pretzels and potato chips, and a delightful flavor of coffee along with the sweet and salty theme. That one was my favorite! The oatmeal cream cookie was super soft / limp with almost no chew and was heavily spiced-- wasn't a fan of it. And if you enjoy peanut butter, their peanut butter cookie had that classic sweet PB cookie flavor with a touch of grittiness (in a good way). The cookie was soft and a touch cakey but still had some chew. Overall, I'd get the compost cookie again for sure and try the other flavors (not getting the oatmeal one again!). As for cakes, the seasonal maple cookie butter cake slice was veryyy sweet but delicious! The layer of cookie butter was like a biscoff cookie paste and worked well with the maple flavor. The cake layers were actually pretty moist too and were more there as vehicles for the sugary frosting. Would recommend for someone with a big sweet tooth, otherwise it might be sugar overload for a normal person. Fun to try something besides the usual vanilla and chocolate flavors. Service was friendly each time I visited. The legendary crack pie has been renamed the "milk bar pie." Check out Milk Bar for a sweet treat any time of the day-- I'll be back next trip to try the soft serve!

This was on a Tuesday night around 8pm at the Grand Bazaar. This is its own stand with a small interior storefront that boasts tons of flavors of donuts, some drinks, and their extremely tall ice cream floats. Small little rubber ducks lined up some of the windows. They were all out of matcha flavored items when we came in. My friend got their medium frappe which was coffee with a bunch of whipped cream on top. Essentially tasted like a mocha but nonetheless was as advertised. Friends and I were hesitant for donuts since we already had something heavy prior. On a second visit here I got their raspberry dragonfruit refresher which was exactly what I needed after a long day out. Maybe on a return trip I'll try one of their donuts before leaving Vegas!

We decided not to get dessert at the restaurant because we saw Sloan's Ice Cream in the same area at the Grand Canal Shoppes. The first thing you'll notice is how bright and vibrant the store it. The original ice cream and candy shop was original founded in Florida, so it's nice that they have expanded out in Las Vegas! The store has a candy land vibe to it. All of the ice cream flavors are homemade with unique flavors like Cookie Monster, Scrumptious Pretzel, and Mint Chocolate chunk. If you're looking for something different, there are also fresh cookies, brownies and caramel apples available too! Some of the well known ice cream specialty creations at Sloan's are the sandcastle and the kitchen sink! I ended up trying out two flavors that I typically don't see in other ice cream shops -Carrot Cake (1 scoop) -Peanut butter cup chocolate ice cream (1 scoop) The carrot cake ice cream tasted like I was actually eating Carrot Cake. It was delicious! If you're a fan of carrot cake, I'd highly recommend the ice cream at Sloan's Ice Cream. The peanut butter cup chocolate ice cream was good too, but the carrot cake was fantastic. Pricing is a little expensive since it's located on the strip, but the unique flavors are totally worth it!

Stayed at the Bellagio for the first time and kept passing by this place. It always had a line, but…read moreon the Sunday morning we decided to go before our flight, the line was pretty short (around 8 am). I liked that they had both sweet and savory options, and the line wraps around the display cases so you can look at everything before getting to the front to place your order. There was also a little seating area next to it so we could relax and enjoy our food. In case it's full when you go, there's additional seating down the hall that we didn't notice until we left. Once we ordered our food, it felt like only 5-10 minutes passed before we got it, which I think is pretty fast. It also came in a fancier to-go container with a transparent lid, which definitely helped maintain the presentation. The egg white omelet wasn't too heavy, and I liked how it was flatter, which made it easy to split so my husband and I could also order a crepe. The strawberry and cream crepe we chose had a decent amount of strawberries on top and a generous helping of whipped cream on the side. They had a Nutella option, but none with both. I'd recommend asking if they could add it if that's what you're craving. Pricing here, I think, is fair considering how much food is generally in Vegas. Would definitely come back if I stayed at this hotel again, since all of the pastries looked so good!

Based on what I remember, the food here was great! I had a vegan burger, which came with some sweet…read morepotato fries, and my girlfriend had a crispy chicken sandwich. They are very diet inclusive (vegan, gluten-free, etc.) and the portions were a satisfying size. The star of the show however was the cookie shake milkshake. We got it because it was their only vegan option at the time and it was just incredible! Also, the service, I remember, was fantastic! We were celebrating a birthday and the server fulfilled all of our requests. They even provided appropriate recommendations for our dietary restrictions at the time. We were very satisfied. Another great aspect of this place was its view and its location. You are right on the river of the Venetian with the gondolas, and where we sat (outside at the bar stools near the river edge), we got a great view of the strip and the Venetian tower. Moreover, from our seat, we were able to enjoy our dinner and listen to the beautiful singing of the gondola operators. A great spot on the Las Vegas strip to visit and we can't wait to hopefully be back soon!

Many moons ago, some good friends and colleagues of mine in NYC (where it all started for Black…read moreTap) told me the first satellite of this cool place would be coming to Vegas at the Venetian property. It opened at the end of 2017, and I've been coming regularly from LA to Black Tap in LV for over eight years. Whether biz or pleasure (or both), it's a great place to go while you are in town. Now they have locations all over the world, a few of which I've been to; but Vegas is my favorite location of theirs by far. (But to be fair, I've never been to the OG in Soho!) Everything you see, taste, hear and feel at any Black Tap is fresh, fun and somehow eerily familiar. Good music. Good people. Great food. Great beer. Almost like a cool neighborhood tavern or favorite restaurant that you often go to in your own hometown. But not too cool or not too hip. Not snooty. Down to earth. Warm and welcoming. That all comes in handy whether you've had a good day or a bad day at the tables, or elsewhere, whatever reasons may bring you to Vegas. Having a good mood? It keeps you going. Having a bad day? It won't be any longer if you come here. It's a blast and rewarding every time you go no matter who you are or what you've been doing. The amazing ambience, aura, and positive vibes here are off the charts. It's really one of a kind in my experiences here. They've got legendary burgers that win awards and should win more. Outrageous shakes you can't find anywhere else. Wings that burst with unique flavors. Veggie options that raise the game. And, of course, a rotating seasonal beer list that focuses on local craft beers in the area. Over the years at Black Tap in Vegas the servers, bartenders, hosts and other staff come and go -- just like they do at any other place. But Black Tap management (and founders/owners) knew a good thing when they created it, and wisely wanted to keep it going with their basic mission intact. They've more than succeeded IMO. So many places in Vegas come and go. Some don't even last a year. But Black Tap in Vegas is going on 9 years now with no signs of stopping. If anything it keeps getting better. As evidence of that ongoing mission of Black Tap, and keeping things up to their standards, and fun, and relevant, rather than just resting on its laurels or name recognition, their managers certainly know who to hire as staff this special place. They somehow always get the right people to work here. Not had bad experience ever here in Vegas. For example, a relatively new bartender (Brianna) on my last visit here a couple weeks ago (for lunch this time) handled a crowded bar like she'd been working at Black Tap for years. Bars get busy. Patrons want service. Customers aren't always the most patient. Regardless, she handled a demanding lunchtime crowd, including me, with such charming personality, skill, and hard work. She was truly grace under pressure. My glasses were never empty. My plates had what they were supposed to. And all tasted awesome as you come to expect once you come here -- all with the positive mood, vibes and overall atmosphere you come here to enjoy. That's what you get when you go to Black Tap in Vegas, whenever you go. Thanks for keeping it going Brianna! And thank you to the entire Black Tap team there in Vegas. See you all again soon... and for those of you out there who still haven't been here at least once already, you now know where you should go for burgers, beers, shakes, and beyond. You're welcome. ;)
