| - I saw a review earlier calling out the affrogato here specifically, and I want to second that: in no way should the 5 stars I'm leaving be considered a general recommendation for everything here, as I haven't tried most of the menu, so I can't really comment. But, on recommendation of several previous yelp reviews, I just tried the affrogato, and it was seriously legit. It's a decent amount of soft serve, a decent amount of coffee, and they go *so* well together. The "cereal milk" flavor is very unique - it's not particularly sweet, which isn't necessarily a good thing in ice cream eaten by itself, but is just the perfect sweetness to accompany coffee. I especially like it because it's really two desserts in one: it's both perfectly-creamy high quality iced coffee (the coffee is served hot, but after melting a bit of ice cream around it, becomes refreshing iced coffee almost immediately), *and* tasty soft serve that's made better by dunking it in coffee before eating it. Highly recommended, and totally reasonably priced at $5, even if it weren't in the heart of the strip.
I did try a couple sips of my my wife's cereal milk milkshake, and it was... fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to get that, and felt like $7.50 was a bit overpriced for it (that said, I personally think a rice-based cereal milk milkshake would likely be much tastier than the corn-based one they make currently. I'd come back to try that if they made one, which, to my knowledge, they don't currently.) I *would* absolutely get the affrogato again for $5, though (in fact, I just might get another one tomorrow, before we leave Las Vegas!)
Edit: I did, sort of - I decided I had to try the "crack pie" affrogato, too. I told the cashier I was there yesterday and had to try the other one, she said I made a good choice, the crack pie's her favorite. It's good, but personally, I think the cereal milk is a much better affrogato (though the crack pie would probably better by itself - it's like 10 times sweeter.)
