| - I've never heard of this place but I've heard of the show. It's located inside the Venetian Hotel & Casino on the 2nd floor. I only came here because my wife begged to come. When I saw how long the line was, she had to do some more begging because I couldn't fathom waiting 45 minutes for a small dessert.
While standing in line I can over hear ladies conversations bragging about how much they've spent at Carlos bakery, $60, $75, $85 WOW! These things better taste pretty damn good. Some of these ladies had been here multiple times!
Once you finally get to the front of the line they will only let a few people go in at a time. Be ALERT know what you want, because you will get skipped or the person behind you is going to eat you alive. They write down your order, then at that point you wait (another 10 min) in one of 5 chairs for your name to be called so that you can pay.
WTF?
Whatever happened to those bakery or panaderias where you walk up, pick what you want and some Mexican lady, with tongs, puts it in a bag and you go! This place makes you wait while they put your sweets in a fancy white box, with a ribbon tie and charge you up the wazoo! "So that's where all the consumer money goes, into the packaging."
I ordered 2 small cannoli's, regular and chocolate. The large cannoli's are $4 while the mini cannoli's are $2.50. They were good, but to ME not out of this world good. Maybe it's all the anticipation built up that didn't live up to my expectations. If the line would have been way shorter and the sweets a little less expensive this rating probably would have been a 4 star.
