Two types of people will read this review: 1) those who know frozen custard and are looking for the best place and 2) those poor saps who have no idea what frozen custard is and are trying to figure out what the hype is all about. .
If you're in type 1... Go to Nielsen's -- it's the best. Hands Down.
If you're in type 2, read these reviews to find out that frozen custard is pretty much the best, richest ice cream you can imagine, plus four... Then go to Nielsen's because they have the best frozen custard in town.
I've been eating at Nielsen's for as long as I can remember. My great-grandparents lived just down the street from their first location in Bountiful, Utah. (The picture of that one is up on the wall... which gave me chance to wax nostalgic and take a moment to remember sharing the heavenly goodness with "Oma and Opa").
Let's just say it was good enough then that we would pack a cooler with dry ice to take a few pints back to California with us after a visit.
I'm happy to report that the Vegas location lives up to the original tradition and is well worth a visit.
