totally worth the hype.\n\nthis haven away from the strip provides delectable treats in a modern, artistic setting. you'd be hard-pressed to even remember you are just doors down from Ozzie's Poker Bar.\n\nslick white tables and walls hidden behind stacks of some of the best top-of-the-line champagne. the storefront is logo-less so just look hard to find it right next to the italian japanese restaurant.\n\n$19 dessert prix fixe - worth it. don't be like me and bypass it because you think \"it's just dessert\". at Sweets Raku - it's not JUST dessert.\n\n$12 individual entrees if this tickles your fancy. not the traditional sickly sweet desserts either. everything is well rounded in flavor and acidity and so shockingly beautiful, you won't even want to eat it. don't worry though, you'll get over that sensation quickly.\n\nthe Marriage is the fluffiest of sponge cakes with a banana custard, whipped cream, and strawberry sorbet (?? - didn't taste like sorbet, but sure looks like it). look for the banana.. it's there, and it makes tons better.\n\nthe Mt. Fuji is a masterful concoction of chestnut. chestnut. chestnut. and more chestnut on top. but so subtle and light, it doesn't even feel like you're digging into a beautiful mountain of cream.\n\nyes, the menu is edible. don't be like me and eat it alone though. wait for your raspberry sauce. so yumm. I ate it all. no shame.\n\nSweets Raku was the main reason why I got the Vegas itch again, and it was beyond worth it. so happy I made the trek out to this dessert oasis & I absolutely cannot wait to return.
