| - Want a little taste of heaven before hitting the buffets?
While we were huffing it from the Venetian over to the Fashion Show shopping center, I had the urge for one of their delightful almond croissants.
Now mind you, having been in Paris just a few weeks back, I know the difference between French and American inclinations, but the almond croissant was amazing. Flaky on the outside and moist and buttery, with sweet almond paste smeared heavily throughout.
It's not the same, compared to Paris, but a good enough diversion for the time being.
In addition to croissants and pain au chocolate, there were tarts, buns, macarons, Danishes, cookies, and lovely baguette sandwiches lined up in the display case paying homage to the native style snacks everywhere (simple sandwiches of ham+cheese, just cheese, etc) but make sure you get in early, because the croissants go quick.
