| - This place has nothing to do with Lappert's Hawaii? Strange, since the Lappet's Ice Cream menu is filled with Hawaii place names, like Kona Coffee Ice Cream and Kauai Pie. But having just arrived from Hawaii, I wasn't about to buy something I could find at home anyway.
So I ordered the Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. . . for some reason, which tasted like any other cookies and cream I've ever had. I usually try to make it a point to order something new every time I go anywhere, but my intentional avoidance of Hawaii flavors backfired. I haven't the slightest idea what Kauai Pie even is.
The cookies and cream may not have been remarkable on its own, but I can't complain. It cost me less than $4.00 for a fist-size scoop mounted on a waffle cone. Coming from Hawaii, I can't stress enough how amazing that is to me because in Waikiki, that portion would easily cost twice as much, yet I would still have paid for it happily.
And the ice cream really did hit the spot. I just went for it as a celebratory dessert after winning $115 (after my initial input of $5) from the casino downstairs, and it was my first time gambling, too.
Next time I'm in Vegas though, I'll be sure to order the Kauai Pie, or maybe even the Kona Mocha Chip, which sounds amazing. It's just too bad they don't have a shop in Hawaii (apparently all their locations are in California with the exception of this one, which is located inside California Hotel & Casino). Then again, they'd have to charge double here.
