What is Ube and Why is it Everywhere in Las Vegas Right Now?
"Next on our list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s anything (we mean anything!) from Milk Bar. Milk bar was created by award-winning chef and owner Christina Tosi in 2008, and it’s a dessert place that offers a quirky and romantic spin on classic home-style desserts. It’s just so charming and delicious, it’s really hard not to be won over by this amazing little gem."
"This tea shop advertises as a "Hooters, but for boba tea," with female servers wearing lingerie throughout the establishment. The potted milk tea, ice rose milk tea, and hot Thai tea with boba are among the most requested items."
"Milk Bar at the Cosmopolitan can bake special-order layer cakes in flavors such as birthday cake, strawberry-lemon and pretzel with three days's notice."
"Silverado RanchNielsen’s Frozen Custard is a blast from the past—back to the days of soda shops and sock hops. Think vintage tin Coca-Cola signs and black, red, and white checkered packaging. Nielsen’s custard is made fresh in-store every few hours, always with a unique “flavor of the day” (check Facebook) in addition to chocolate and vanilla."
"This ice cream shop is a nod to nostalgia with pieces restored on American Restoration. Try one of the Concretes, a very thick shake you eat with a spoon."
"Rhodes RanchGet a crash-course education in Asian ice cream desserts at Creamberry, where they make nearly all of them. The spot has 22 ice cream and sorbet flavors and another 20 toppings to mix them with. The kicker is that you can order them in all kinds of crazy shapes: rolled ice cream, rolled “tacos” (rolled ice cream in a waffle taco), bubble waffles, bear waffles (shaped like a cartoon teddy bear), halo halo, shaved ice, snow ice, and honey toast sundaes, among other things."
"S. RainbowCreamberry has made national headlines for its cotton candy rainbow burrito, and if you order it with the ube ice cream, you maximize its Instagram potential. There’s also rolled ice cream tacos, halo halo, bear waffle "cones" with cotton candy hats, bubble waffle "cones," ice cream-stuffed honey toast, cotton candy-ringed halo cones, and so much more. There's a reason we named it one of the best ice cream shops in Vegas."
"so hard to find good vegan pizza but this was delicious & chris was cool to chat with for a few. the art inside was the bonus vibe i didn’t know i ne..."
"Multiple locationsCJ’s serves homemade soft serve custard, gelato, and Italian ice. Flavors change constantly, but expect some nostalgic ones like cotton candy gelato, Cinnamon Toast Crunch custard, and Sour Patch Kid ice. The shop also offers a variety of waffle cones dipped in chocolate and coated in cereals, candies, cookies, and sprinkles."
"Multiple locations This is a place that exists for the 'gram. Get the ube Italian ice in one of its giant cones coated in candy and mark that hand-holding-cone-in-front-of-cutesy-neon-sign off your social media bingo card."
"Multiple locationsLa Flor de Michoacan specializes in frozen Mexican treats, including cream popsicles and fruit popsicles chock full of huge chunks of hand-cut fruit, shaved ice, chamangos, ice creams in flavors like pistachio, guava, and strawberry vanilla, and more. Popsicles are really the least-respected of the frozen treats and definitely deserve more love—on a hot day when you’re craving something icey cold, a fresh fruit popsicle can hit the spot in a way that ice cream or sorbet simply can’t. The popsicles here are edible works of art—kind of like those handmade soaps that look like slices of fancy cakes you want to eat but can’t."
"Costa del Sur Spa & Salon inside the South Point is always worth the trip for those looking to enjoy a little rest and rejuvenation. With 28 treatments rooms, an extensive menu of services--including custom-designed men's treatments--and a private couples-only retreat area with its own sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, it's one of the most luxurious spas in town. It also offers private men's and women's wet areas complete with their own Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool and waterfall showers."
"JamonJamonTapas has quickly established itself as the go-to restaurant just off the Strip. It’s the most authentic Spanish tapas restaurant you can find for hundreds of miles, and native Spaniards have vouched for it without hesitation. In the warm, inviting atmosphere, take a seat and gaze on the stunning mosaics on the floor while you sip on a breathtakingly delicious Sangria."
"Whether you’re here for the beer, the food or both, Yard House does not disappoint. It has every beer imaginable and the food menu goes on for days. Find a wide selection of sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, Asian cuisine and even an expansive vegetarian menu."
"Circus Circus Hotel & Casino has been in town since the late 1960s, hosting families in traditional ways with family-friendly themes consisting of rides, clowns and a lot of bright colors. The best feature of the hotel is its Adventuredome, that’s an indoor park spanning 5 acres filled with rides like bumper cars and roller coasters, the kinds of things kids love doing. Families can either buy all-day passes or pay per ride."
"It’s not just trapeze artists and jugglers that entertain visitors at Circus Circus. The hotel is also home to the Adventuredome — a large indoor theme park with roller coasters, bumper cars, rock climbing, arcades, and much more. Thrill seekers will love the park’s new NebulaZ ride that spins riders through the air, while younger visitors will enjoy the slightly slower carousel or Miner Mike coal train ride."
"You can’t beat a theme park when you’re looking for a fun-filled day for the whole family. Naturally, Las Vegas features a pretty amazing option. You’ll find Adventuredome Theme Park right under a huge pink dome behind Circus Circus."
"Inside Circus Circus, you’ll find this gem that’s home to a carnival and circus. The carnival midway has new arcade games and old carnival games, and one of the most affordable places to grab a snack. Also, starting at 11:30 every day, you’ll be able to see live circus acts performed at The Midway."
"Circus Circus Las Vegas Hotel has a variety of free circus acts that perform daily starting at 11 a.m. at the center stage of the Carnival Midway. Some of the circus performances you will see there include flying trapeze, juggling, aerial silks, slack wire, circus clowns and much more."
