| - Finally, the legendary Dunkin Donuts has arrived in South Las Vegas!
I finally get what the hoopla is all about. The staff at 5:30am was friendly, but not overly perky, the coffee was perfectly prepared (they add the cream and sugar for you), and the donuts were fresh and delightful. Quite a change from what has been available in the Silverado Ranch neighborhood up until now!
The news is though that the donuts aren't made on-site at the shop - there's a DD factory near the airport, and fresh-made donuts are trucked in several times a day. (I guess this makes sense, especially with the huge expansion planned for the Las Vegas market.) That said, the donuts I had at 5:30am on a Thursday morning were light, fresh, and very tasty. I don't get what all the fuss is about the coffee though, I much prefer the stuff I make at home.
All in all though, I think something other than Krispy Kreme is a good thing - since donut shops are scarce in my neighborhood.
