When I found out Las Vegas was home to a new Sprinkles store WITH ice cream I HAD to try it! But sadly I wasn't super impressed.\n\nFirst, let's start with the store itself. It is in a great location, The LinQ, a new area between the Flamingo and The Quad. This place has stores, restaurants, live music, a bowling alley (The Brooklyn Bowl) and the new ferris wheel (The High Roller), having a late night dessert place here is perfect (even though it's competing with Ghirardelli). But due to its location, it can get really crowded at night and especially during the weekends (Friday and Saturday nights). \n\nA friend and I went on a Thursday night (after our ride on The High Roller) thinking it would be relatively empty due to the late time and day of the week, but boy were we wrong! It was 11:00pm (place closes at midnight) and the line was redic (at least 20+ people in line)! Then I realized it was the Thursday before Good Friday (not Sprinkles fault), so I kinda forgave the long line. We were given a menu while waiting in line. The problem is, they don't have the weekly menu of the cupcakes available, just the ice cream and cookie menu (kinda Sprinkles fault). How the heck am I supposed to know what cupcake I want for my cupcake sundae?!? So once we're finally able to order I ask the young gentleman what cupcakes they have... he has to yell across half the store what cupcakes they still have, I could barely hear him because of the surrounding noise, so I just chose a common cupcake (red velvet). Then I told him I wanted the coffee almond ice cream, he then said they were all out... LAME (TOTALLY Sprinkles fault)! To make things go faster I just said give me whatever you have, which ended up being vanilla... BORING! My friend wanted a cookie sandwich and they didn't have her flavor of ice cream either... I guess that's what we get for going an hour before closing.\n\nThough my friend and I didn't get what we originally ordered, I have to say I was content with the cupcake sundae. Though the cupcake had a little too much frosting for me, the combination was good and there was lots of vanilla flavor. I think though I would prefer if I shared one next time because it is a little too rich for my liking. So pretty much I went to Sprinkles excited to try their ice cream flavors and left pretty bummed that I just got vanilla, but I say gotta try everything at least once!\n\n Here are the things I have learned from visiting here:\n1) Go on weekdays (not ones that come before holidays).\n2) Go earlier than an hour before closing (or they won't have any flavors you want).\n3) They need to come up with a better system to serve their ice cream (store is backwards, workers have to glance across the room to see what cupcakes they have left. If they switched it around customers would be able to at least see what cupcakes they still have available).\n4) Must add what cupcakes are available on a given day for their ice cream menu.
