| - This location has a grand display of chocolate fountains behind a glass enclosure, which is what attracts hoards of people. It's always busy and there are multiple lines for different things (gelato, crepes, pastries, etc.). My first time at this location, I was confused. It was about 15 minutes before closing, so the line for gelato started from the inside instead of outside, which was weird because I couldn't see the flavors available before choosing and paying. It also felt weird to ask for samples because I couldn't see the flavors and because they were busy, so I did not ask. People were lining up even at closing time.
I got a double scoop of pistachio & coconut sorbet, which complemented each other perfectly. My friend got a double scoop of tiramisu and oreo, which went well together too. The gelato is perfectly soft, cold, and rich in flavor. I got my gelato and went out to watch the Bellagio fountain show, so the gelato melted more quickly than it would have if I had stayed inside the casino. It was still enjoyable!
I came back the following afternoon for a refresher in the summer heat. This time, the line for gelato started from outside, which made more sense for viewing flavors before ordering. I got strawberry sorbet, which was just the right amount of fruity and so refreshing. My friend got the berry sorbet, and it was a bit too tangy/sour. I also got a raspberry cream dessert to-go, and the chocolate in it was so rich. Can't go wrong with any dessert here.
The only negative was that around 3pm in the afternoon, about 4-5 flavors were out. Pistachio and coconut ran out, which are my go-to flavors. Some customers left the line after seeing how many flavors weren't available. I'm surprised they didn't refill sooner.
