I heard the good things about Purple Penguin, and I wondered how a snowcone could be that good, but it really was. We went to Purple Penguin on a Monday about 12:30 or so. They already had the "velvet rope" set up for the line, but there pretty much wasn't a line when we arrived. 2 people in front of us, we probably waited 5 minutes from the time we walked up to the window to when we got the snowcones. I had a strawberry daiquiri. I liked how they did the syrup, basically half and half instead of just all mixed together. Also, the syrup completely permeated the entire snowcone. I've eaten other snowcones were the top is mostly ice, but not this one. The flavor was throughout and it was good. The ice was shaved very fine, it had a slushy like consistency from the beginning. I read the reviews about waiting a half hour for a snowcone. I don't know that I would do that in the Vegas heat, but it certainly was an excellent snowcone and I can see why it's so popular. We will return.
