The Las Vegas Strip is changing. The beverage of choice is no longer solely alcohol. Gradually coffee based beverages are inching up toward alcohol as the beverage of choice. Competition for the coffee lover is growing more intense as new coffee houses pop up on the Las Vegas Strip. This review discusses one of the many coffee houses on the Las Vegas Strip : The Miracle Mile Coffee Bean.
The Miracle Mile Coffee Bean is at the crossroads of Planet Hollywood's indoor shopping mall at the junction of the north segment of the main corridor and the corridor feeding into the casino and theatre. With its seats overlooking the mall's crossroads, it is a prime spot for people watching while enjoying a delicious Coffee Bean beverage.
I have been here a few times. If I park at Mandalay Bay or the Luxor, this is an appropriate resting point to the center and north strip casinos. When I am hanging around the central Strip, a Coffee Bean Beverage hits the spot.
My three favorite Coffee Bean beverages are drip coffee with mocha or white mocha powder (they don't have syrup), the Black Forest ice blended beverage, and Cafe Americana. Being in a Las Vegas Strip resort property, high pricing is expected. It is about the exact price as Starbuck's. The drinks are quality and strong. The last time I was here a week ago with my family, I ordered a small Cafe Americana around 7:30 PM. This was one strong drink. I would not be able to fall asleep into early the next morning. And that was with two 24 ounce cold ones. If only there was a convenient Coffee Bean between my home and work, I'd be exceeding job expectations at work.
Here are a few observations of this location. The employees working here have always been professional and fast. There have always been copies of the free Las Vegas newspapers. The Verizon service has always been spotty. It has never been busy. And there have never been quality issues with the beverages.
The Las Vegas Strip may be changing, however, I am the same person that enjoys a a good cup of coffee. With intense competition for my dollars spent on coffee, my buying power will be spread across the sundry of coffee houses along the Las Vegas Strip.
