| - Vosges is a gourmet chocolate store in The Forum Shops At Caesars. Vosges features high-end chocolates like a Godiva boutique, but it provides a more unique style by focusing on exotic flavors. While Vosges is pricey like Godiva, the exotic flavors do come across in some of their items, which (to me at least) makes this one much more worth visiting than a Godiva.
Vosges' exotic truffles are good. Several of them have unique flavors, which are memorable and more distinctive than a truffle you would get at Godiva.
Vosges also carries many packaged chocolates including exotic candy bars (you can also find these at a Bristol Farms, Whole Foods or Cost Plus World Market). On my most recent visit to Vosges, I tried a package of their exotic caramels.
The exotic caramels had great sounding flavors like Bee Pollen & Honey Caramel, Maple Syrup & Walnut Caramel, Dulce De Leche & Cashew Caramel, and Blood Orange & Hibiscus Caramel. Unlike their exotic truffles, not many of the caramels provided a unique flavor experience (with the exception being the blood orange caramel, which had a bitterness and tartness that was quite different from most caramels I've had).
The caramels were still good though. The caramels were the type of melt-in-your-mouth caramels that everybody wants. The chocolate coating was smooth and creamy and not overly rich.
I also tried one of their milkshakes. After having a truly exceptional milkshake experience on my first visit here, my last milkshake here about a year ago was way too thin. Unfortunately, the Chocolate Pandan milkshake I had here in January was also too thin. It had a great flavor and was addictive, but it was more like a cold chocolate milk than a milkshake. Having watched them make it, I do not think it is caused by using too little ice cream. I think they may over blend here. I recently paid them another visit in February and I found out that they are no longer serving milkshakes here.
Service has been consistently friendly and good here. They typically provide a few freebies when you make a purchase here and that was the case on my last visit.
Vosges is pricey, but their ice cream and milkshake prices were not that bad when compared to some of the other high priced ice cream / gelato places located in The Forum Shops.
I have had sweets here that were truly exceptional though my last few experiences have not been as good. I do not think that has anything to do with a decline in their quality. Instead, ordering right here is key. Vosges is a more unique chocolate experience than Godiva (and there are quite a few Godiva locations in Vegas). Between the two, I would definitely recommend Vosges. But given how their sweets really vary by flavor, I would suggest engaging Vosges' good staff to find the best and most impactful sweets here.
Complimentary valet parking is available. I think complimentary self-parking (via a parking structure) is also available.
