Whie reading a review of the Chocolate Swan, the author mentioned a 10% discount coupon on the CS site. I looked and couldn%26#39;t find a coupon.I was wondering if any of you has seen or heard of this and if so, where to find it. Thanks.
Chocolate Swan
Hi Nanaju:
Just thought I would give you my take on the Chocolate Swan.
I went about a year ago after seeing it on Food TV. I have to be honest, I wasn%26#39;t blown away. I spent $10 for a cup of coffee %26amp; an eclair. Don%26#39;t get me wrong, it was good, but not fabulous for the price.
I love finding new gourmet treats in Vegas. This next trip I am going to try the Pattisserie (I can%26#39;t remember the name) at Bellagio %26amp; Sugar %26amp; Ice ice cream at Wynn.
Hope this helps.
Chocolate Swan
Thank you for the information---always nice to hear from someone who has been there.
While it isn%26#39;t true Belgian chocolate, it is quite good and innovative. Before the Swan moved to Vegas it was located in my little Village of Elm Grove, WI. I would stop there often for some treats after a long day. Very tasty. I look forward to a visit in September and some samples.
The chocalate swan is totally overrated. Come to think of it, everything in Mandalay Place is a little on the ';blowy'; side.
The Mandalay Bay front desk gave us a coupon booklet for Mandalay Place shopping center, which included a 10% off coupon for Chocolate Swan. We were MB guests, but they passed out the booklet just for asking. I bet they would give one to anyone who asked for it.
I have to agree, though, that Chocolate Swan was a disappointment for me, too. We tried their frozen custard and chocolates, and didn%26#39;t find them anything special. Their menu offerings were also pretty average, IMHO.
The patisserie in the shops attached to Bellagio, just south of the conservatory (the one with the chocolate fountain) was much more innovative and exciting.
ourladyofrevlon - FWIW, I was disappointed by Sugar %26amp; Ice. It%26#39;s just overly sweet gelato. Not saying don%26#39;t try it, but I know my expetations were high %26amp; it was a let down. So...fair warning :)
Lilbunny:
Thank you! I really do not like overly sweet ice cream. I was hoping to find a blood orange gelato. I had it out of town once %26amp; loved it! I was looking for the combo sweet %26amp; tangy.
What do you think of Luv It Frozen Custard? Heard great things.
Thanks, again.
ourlady - I got the raspberry hoping for some tartness and it was so sweet it made my tongue shrivel. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth, so for something to be too sweet for me is saying a lot. I couldn%26#39;t even finish my small, ended up chunking it. What a waste for $4! My husband threw most of his peanut butter-chocolate flavor away too, it was way too sweet and too intense a peanut-y taste for him.
Luv It Frozen Custard? I have to admit I have only been there once but I LUVED it :) I had a lemon custard shake %26amp; it was super.
Check their website for which flavors they have on which day, in case there%26#39;s one particular you really want!

I agree with Lilbunny- Luv It is very very good. I had the Raspberry Royal but everything I saw looked great.
