They say you eat with your eyes, and in the case of sweet treats, that couldn’t be more true. Whether it’s the sleek, rich color of a slab of chocolate, the glorious colors of candy and gelato, or beautiful bakery items, you’ll satisfy both eyes and taste buds in Vegas.
If it is chocolate you need, head to Jean-Marie Auboine Chocolatier (4780 W. Harmon Ave. Ste. 1. 702.222.0535). Get a tour of the close-to-the-Strip gourmet chocolate maker on weekdays; the jewel-box colors of inventive candy and macarons are stunning.
At Bellagio Patisserie, just steps away from the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, the wow factor is the gorgeous, soaring chocolate fountain. You’ll find a range of house-made chocolates here, but also cookies, coffee, gelato (pictured) and more. Aria Patisserie is tucked at the back of that resort’s casino floor, but you can spot the custom cake and candy creations on display from far away.
For candy you know and love, visit Hershey’s Chocolate World at New York-New York, where more than 800 items are on display. The Reese’s corner is my personal favorite, but the bake shop is a close second. Across the Strip at Showcase Mall is M&M’s Las Vegas, four levels of delicious fun with an M&M’s printer that lets you customize your haul.
Las Vegas has a lot of candy shops, but two brands to consider are I Love Sugar at The Linq Promenade, where you’ll find the Candy Martini Bar upstairs and an incredible array of sugary treats below, and IT’SUGAR at multiple locations, including The Venetian Resort and FSLV-Fashion Show Las Vegas, for your favorites.
