Not sure how there are so many locations open here in Vegas since all the reviews seem to be mediocre at best and I couldn't agree more.
Not a big smoothie person to begin with but there is a deliciously great smoothie place on lake mead called Berry Blendz. The fruit is fresh, they have a huge menu and different size options and I would go there any day.
Because it's hot and I love Berry Blendz, I decided to try Tropical Smoothie. What a waste. The location is a new one, although they must have transferred the Yelp page over bc the reviews/ pics are from the previous location. The interior of this one is new and clean and refreshing and has a drive thru.
There were three employees working all moving at glacial speed. I sat down at the bar top right next to the cashier but everyone behind the counter continued to just do their thing before anyone acknowledged me or took my order. I watched a girl make someone's sandwiches slower than I've ever seen anything in my life.
The smoothies come in one size which in my option is stupid bc who needs a smoothie that big. But anyway, I was still excited to try it. I watched the employee make it which included ice, the smallest amount of fruit I've ever seen and tap water that was running from the sink they had going. My smoothie was so bland and flavorless. It was like blended ice with juice. And then I had this huge thing of it to drink for $6.
Perhaps it was just this experience and others would be different although based on the reviews overall, I get the sense this experience is pretty common.
No thanks :)
