| - First of all, gold star to whomever came up with the idea to put this froyo shop smack dab in the middle of the Vegas strip. (Well, it's not really the middle, per se. It's closer to the New York New York hotel, and closest to the Monte Cristo hotel, but NY NY is a better landmark.)
We were walking the strip last month and stumbled across this store. I initially was gonna pass it up, thinking once you've had one, you've had 'em all. I am so glad that I didn't stick with that mindset. They were advertising their new Coconut Milk Swirl flavor; it's dairy-free and vegan. They offered a sampling and I was instantly hooked! This coconut froyo is SO good! I am not a fan of the coconut flavor, but it's so light and subtle that you can barely taste it; it's not over powering, at all. (However, avoid if you have a nut allergy since it is made with real coconut milk.) I ordered the smallest size and immediately wished I had more. It's ok. I ended up coming back 3 days in a row, and each day the size I chose got gradually larger than the day before. I simply couldn't get enough of this delicious cool treat!
This location had a nice selection of toppings from which you could choose (toppings are extra, so don't go too crazy), and several vegan options for toppings as well. For vegans, I suggest checking the nutrition page on Pinkberry's website to educate yourself on which toppings are and are not vegan-friendly. 9/10 the employees cannot answer our vegan 101 questions.
What I REALLY liked is that they weighed my cup to make sure I got the right amount (in ounces) of froyo. And on day 2, the girl actually put more in my cup after it weighed in on the lighter side. Yesssss! Gimme, gimme more. Gimme more. Gimme, gimme, gimme. *Britney Spears voice*
For others who also cannot get enough of this yumminess, they offer a take home size that comes in a large container. If I didn't have to drive 4 hours back home I would've definitely gotten that to go container.
It is a bit pricey; not gonna lie. But I think for the quality it's worth it. Keeping with the Vegas, party all night theme, this location is open late: til 1am Sun-Thursday, and until 2am on Friday and Saturday night. Bloody genius! (I actually went after midnight one night too. Hips don't lie!) However, after a recent snafu at a different Pinkberry location, I would suggest always calling before you go, especially if you're walking a country mile to get here or driving long distance.
VEGAN FYI - If you have nut allergies, there is a fruit-based vegan option as well.
As with most places on the strip, don't try to find parking (although there is a CVS next door, which has a teeny-tiny lot) at the store. Park at a nearby hotel and walk the rest of the way.
