| - I saw all the awesome reviews for Marash, and thought it would be a great stop while I was strolling around given how hot it was. This Turkish ice cream vendor is in the Grand Bazaar in the Bally's hotel complex; it's right next to the establishment that sells tickets to shows on The Strip.
Two Scoops on a Cone ($5.49?): I know it's around $5.50 for two scoops, but I am not entirely sure; don't quote me on the price. Of all the flavors, I chose Pistachio and Coffee--an odd combination, I know. Jane H.'s review is spot on. The ice cream's texture is rather thick, similar to a melted marshmallow (not a fan of that). I found it to be rich and not as sweet as American ice cream, which I liked. Both flavors I chose were strong and flavorful, with the pistachio having plenty of bits of pistachio pieces mixed in. The proprietors make the ice cream from scratch--who doesn't love that!?
The video uploaded shows that they do all kinds of tricks while serving ice cream, but that unfortunately didn't happen for my group (I had my camera ready, too--LOL). Marash's ice cream is unique, but I can't say I'm a fan. I'd give their ice cream another shot, though.
