Serendipity is just a walking contradiction. I mean honestly, who the hell can imagine a "Frozen" hot chocolate?
And then you remember there are things such as fried ice cream in this world, as well as the insane level of heat in the Vegas dessert that makes all of these preconceived notions go away.
Alas, Serendipity has helped me combat my drunken state with some very tasty desserts. The actual restaurant inside looks far too expensive for what you get, but the express booth outside will do just fine. Clearly the most popular item here are these frozen hot chocolates, which is mostly an iced chocolate smoothie to soothe your dehydrated self.
It'll set you back about $10, but I'd say it's worth it! The chocolate goodness of the drink definitely cools you down, at least long enough for you to head into one of the air conditioned casinos. Don't forget to also order a side of fries. Ice cream goes SO well with frozen desserts such as this, and you can't hate it til you've tried it.
The only gripe I have about Serendipity's express-lane is that it's also another contradiction... the wait is LONG! You're looking at a 30 minute wait as it is before getting your order in, even when the line seems short. Then you're expected to wait another 10-15 minutes before the actual drink comes out. A bit ridiculous if you ask me.
But despite it all, I'm sure I'll be sipping on another one of these again soon. Note for next time- grab some kahlua or bailey's and mix it into the drink. Get twice the fun!
