| - We were in Vegas on this place's opening night, which just happened to be a week after we were in NYC and had gone to the original. My husband couldn't get enough of the peanut butter frozen hot chocolate, so we were really excited to see this place open for business and much closer to home.
Can you really compare it to the original? Not so much. It lacks the ambiance and character, and the menu is not the same...but neither is the wait time, which scores points with anyone who has waited the standard 2 hours at the original for just a frozen hot chocolate. Cool that they have a take-out window as well.
The inside dining room is just one big open room, a little crowded and awkward especially since there isn't really a waiting area, so people were just hovering around by the door. Though we didn't dine on the patio I think this would be more fun, especially since it sits right on The Strip.
The menu was not the same - seems like they made it more commercial or fast food-ish, but let's be honest, you should be going here for the desserts anyway. We had both the sweet potato fries and the waffle fries, both were good, standard fries. Don't order the nachos - they are awkward to eat and I had to pick off all the unseasoned ground beef that was not appetizing at all. The clam chowder was good though, had a little spice to it.
My husband claimed the peanut butter frozen hot chocolate wasn't as "peanut buttery" as from the original, but he downed it anyway. I couldn't tell the difference.
Overall I would say there are much better dining options in Vegas, but this would be a good place to end the night and splurge on dessert.
