An  New Yorker’s all time favorite desert spot has turn into a tourism hot spot after the movie “Serendipity”. The place is so popular in New York that even during a 20 degree F winter night there is a 3 hour line up just to try out its famous frozen hot chocolate. Now the craze has spreaded to Sin City Las Vegas, where on a summer days like this afternoon, any one would really kill to have nice cool frozen chocolate to fight off the heat.

It is located at the front court yard of Caesar's Palace. The location is absolutely stunning. Roman building decorated with bright pink awning sitting right off the strip, easily grabs every one’s attention.  The interior is simple with a pinkish shade and decorated with many cute pictures and tiffany style lamp just like its predecessor. It is however a lot more spacious than its New York store but in my opinion not as cozy and cuddly, which is what it famous for.

The food portion is quite generous, ranging from 12~18 dollar a meal.  The foot long nacho cheese hot dog instantly grabs my attention but turns out to be an disappointment.  There is nothing special about the cheese and the hot dog isn’t even better than the street vendor in Toronto.  The bread however is quite delicious with thick texture and packed with wonderful aromas.  The Caesar’s salad on the other hand is a bit over dressed.  The garlic bread that comes with it is crunchy and tasty.

The server almost forgot our reason to be in this place. The “Frozen Hot Chocolate”. It is absolutely delicious. Delightfully sweet and you can taste much of the cocoa  flavor with the right combination of the milk. The whip cream is a bit over the top but once everything is mixed it is actually still quite enjoyable.
This is definitely a great hang out place for the afternoon or at night where you could enjoy the view of the strip and cool down with their wonderful desert.
Food: 18/30
Interior: 20/30
Price: $20
Frozen hot chocolate: 21/30

Note: I wouldn’t come here for their food but you definitely need to try out the desert.
