Sugar and Ice Has Now Turned Into The Pizza Place

December 8, 2009 at 8:25 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

We've always loved the old-timey malt shop and cafe Sugar and Ice at Wynn Las Vegas, mostly because of its waterfall views and the free WiFi but the ice cream and sweets weren't so bad either!

That's why it's a good thing that although the shop has changed names to the generic Pizza Place, the free WiFi has remained. The menu hasn't changed that much either. There is still gelato on-hand, as well as sandwiches (which are more of the Italian sub variety) and salads but as the name implies, pizza pies are now yours to be had. Cheese slices start at $4.25, 12" pies at $12.50 and 22" pies at $27.50.

The Pizza Place is open Sunday through Thursday from 9am to 11pm and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Skip The Crowds and Order at the Counter of Trevi's Coffee and Gelato Shop

We don’t know what your definition of convenience is, but we know ours - Trevi’s Coffee and Gelato counter at Caesar’s Forum Shops. We mean what we write.

Located next to the "Fountain of the Gods" in the middle of the Forum, this little counter stand is the epitome of a tasty godsend.

People have been known to miss it (hence why we’re telling you) and tourism can be thick this time of year as we head toward the holidays. Plus the Forum shops get especially busy with window shoppers, but keep an eye out for this side extension of Trevi’s Italian restaurant because their counter offers the works.

Think carefully about what you want as so much is available for the asking - the delicate lemon sorbetti, the heaven sent tirimisu gelato (every guilty ounce of Mascarpone cheese and cocoa you could imagine is there for the senses), espresso, Italian sodas, cappuccinos and frosty smoothies that all fall under $5!

It’s a great deal, and best of all, service, no matter how busy the restaurant might be, is as quick as a defeating round at Three Card Poker. So in short, addictive refreshments, prompt attention from a friendly counter gal, and affordable eats in an otherwise unaffordable casino make for a very happy mouth indeed.

Before Summer Officially Ends, Stop at Bellagio’s Café Gelato

It is not as if the Bellagio needs any help from us to push business for them. But as we hit the final days of Summer (and this is Vegas, so the heat will be with us for just a few more weeks) we cannot resist the instinct to tell you of Bellagio’s Cafe Gelato.

The Cafe Gelato is located near the Bellagio pool, the setting is a wide open parlor space with wicker furniture and quaint tables. The variety of gelato and ices are impressive too, with the hazelnut, mint chip and raspberry ice to be heaven for those who crave such things.

Cafe Gelato does offer some other fine temptations like pastries, cappuccinos and frappuccinos, but even though summer is (unofficially) over, it's still hot in Vegas so we fervently insist on the gelatos and ices. With the rumor that they make all their fresh items on the property, the texture and presentation make it all especially inviting.

Gelato is a Proper and Tasty Solution For Keeping Cool

Trust us, it is not going to get any cooler in Las Vegas for awhile. We should know, we live here. As a tourist, or even as a local, you are going to need relief from the searing heat. So we suggest something essential - gelato!

Naturally, we here at VegasChatter.com know just where to go, the aptly titled, Gelato Cafe in the Fashion Show Mall. Everything works here, the pleasant decor (rich in nice earth tones and smartly choiced Italian memorabilia), the relative inexpensiveness (get some nice, big scoops for under $4), some good sugar free alternatives (lemon ice being particularly good) and some terrific customer service.
