| - Alright, so talk about extremely good luck and perfect timing: The week before I came to the Las Vegas Serendipity's, I was actually in New York where I had Serendipity's Famous Frozen Hot Chocolate for the very first time (see my review). Even though the wait was excruciatingly long, the NYC frozen hot chocolate more than made up for it.
Fast forward a week later and here I was in Vegas for my sister's 21st birthday. I was excited to learn that Serendipity's had a location out here especially since it's much closer to me than New York. Located along the strip, in a stand alone building, right outside of Cesars, our wait was only 20 minutes. We were seated in the outside patio area which would've been nicer if the tall shrubs didn't block our view of the strip. I suppose the 'barrier of shrubs' were put in place because of the loud noise along the strip and the very close proximity of people walking up and down the strip. The menu is a bit expensive for regular fare food: $10 appetizers, $15 hot dogs/burgers, etc. However, the size of their food items are pretty gigantic so my sister and I split a burger with waffle fries which ended up being fine....except of course for their sharing charge! We had the ABC burger which included Avocado, Brie, & Caramalized onions. It was pretty good and pretty filling. The waffle fries were well cooked, although they went a little overboard with the seasoning.
Onto the frozen hot chocolate: UGH. After taking my first sip, I replayed a possible scene in my head: throwing a tantrum like a 2 year old in front of everyone present and whining, "This is NOT the same as the one I had in NYC! This is blended beyond belief into a liquid mess without the frothy icy texture! It's also waaaaaaay too sweet. I want another one (arms folded, sour face with a big pout)!" But of course, one can only dream.
I'd actually come back to try some of their other foods (salads, sandwiches, and pizzas), but I'd pass on the frozen hot chocolate. They also have a sundae called the "Golden Opulence." No other description except for its price: $1,000. Out of sheer curiosity, if I had the cash, I'd actually spend it just to see what this sundae has to cost so much. Anyway, I suppose going to the original Serendipity's in NYC just gave me too much of an expectation for Sin City's Serendipity's.
