Few venues on the Las Vegas Strip do milkshakes like this hot spot. For chocolate fans, this beast is dessert nirvana, made with mini chocolate chips and topped with two chocolate brownies, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. And, of course, the rim is frosted with chocolate!

If you’ve never tried gianduja chocolate, know this: It’s a super-decadent version with a high hazelnut content (think Nutella but even more hazelnut!). This confection has all the wonderful textures of the classic macaron, but with the inclusion of gianduja and French almond cookies.

Michelin-starred chef Jeremy Ford’s restaurant, one of the newest on the Strip, is an absolute must-visit for foodies, and that extends to every part of the menu. This dessert tastes as magnificent as it looks, a combination of olive oil cake, yuzu pastry cream, summer cherries, Mandarin pâté de fruit and caramelized pistachios. You probably won’t want to share.

Brezza at Resorts World Las Vegas. 702.676.6014. brezzaitalian.com
Desserts don’t get simpler—or more delicious—than panna cotta, an Italian classic that gets bumped up a notch at Brezza. This version is infused with pumpkin and warm spices and topped with a drizzle of rich bourbon maple caramel. And best of all? Every bite gets a flavorful crunch, thanks to the inclusion of spiced pepitas.

One of the country’s favorite—and most tricky to make—desserts is the baked Alaska, and this version at Carversteak is a must for anyone on Instagram. This iteration is made with lemon sorbet, vanilla ice cream, toasted meringue and brown butter financier. It’s made for large groups and gets flambéed tableside. Get your cameras out!

Key lime pie has long been a favorite dessert for millions (it really is one of the most unique flavor profiles in the entire sweets universe), and this creation at Bazaar Mar reimagines the classic in an incredibly visually appealing way. It’s so simple (key lime mousse, graham cracker crumble and lime air), but upon taking that first bite, it’s also sublime.

There are cakes and then there are creations like this, an elegant and eye-catching beauty that combines the flavors and textures of France and Japan. Paper-thin handmade crepes are carefully layered atop one another, each one getting a gentle layer of green tea pastry cream. The whole creation is finished off with Japanese powdered matcha. In every way, it’s irresistible.
