10 Reviews for Chocolate Swan
DAMMIT! i didn't have the frozen custard. if only i yelped before going there... oh well, next time.
i went here to get an emergency birthday cake for a las vegas native (i'm from LA). do guys just not get cakes anymore? WTF. Anyway, so we go there and I'm looking at all the cakes. the party upstairs was too small for a real cake (at that point) so we i decided to purchase a big fruit tart for the bday boy, and 6 mini fruit tarts (for the guests). it came out to less than $30.
And it was absolutely delicious!

I'm curious as to why this place has marked $$$. Even I, one of the most frugal people on the planet (in this economy, anyway) has to admit that this is probably the best addition to the Las Vegas Strip since the 99cent margarita!
I got their peanut butter bar, which was thick, creamy and deliciously sinful. The chocolate chips and peanut butter proportions were amazing and was a totally satisfying sweet indulgence.
All this amazement at a bargain price of $2.50!!!! Seriously?! I paid more for a 12oz bottle of water just a few hundred feet away from this place, and yet this peanutbuttery perfection can be obtained in the casino in Las Vegas for less than what I'd spent at Mrs. Fields.
I will definately be back soon...possibly as soon as tonight! The frozen custard in the case looks too amazing to pass up.

I've never been disappointed with Chocolate Swan's amazing desserts. It may seem kind of pricey (since it's in the Mandalay Place and surrounding by all these fancy stores), but it's really not that bad. Less than ten dollars for REALLY good creme brulee is a deal to me! Nice casual, quiet environment...staff is extremely friendly...
Rich Chocolate....maybe TOO rich...
Right next to Burger Bar is a cute little dessert place. They are known for their homemade frozen custards. All of their frozen custards I've had were good. The chocolate ones can be a little too sweet, but I still enjoyed it. I have also tried their cheesecake and fruit tart, but their chocolate eclairs are the best I've had in a while! Actually, everything there is really good. A must try for dessert!
Yummy, yummy goodness! We saw the chocolates and we had to check it out! Even if you think you cannot afford it, stop in because they have 30 cent pieces of chocolate!
Be sure to check out my photos of some of their desserts! I want to know where they found those strawberries? Those are the biggest strawberries I have EVER seen!
I tried a 30 cent piece of chocolate and a piece of black forest cake, which I had to go! Everything was just heavenly!
I wanted to try the chocolate and wine pairings. Basically, for $15 you get 3 samples of chocolate treats plus 3 mini glasses of wine that have been perfectly paired! Why not? My two favorite things together! However, my friend did not want to, so we got our orders to go! Next time!
I would most definitely recommend this place!

Whenever people say "Las Vegas", my ears perk up. Not for the casinos, mind you, more for Chocolate Swan. And their Grand Marnier cheesecake, in particular. This quaint little oasis of sweetness is the perfect spot to sit down in between casinos and have a nice leisurely coffee break, all the while gorging yourself on the many calorie-causing blissful creations they have. This isn't dried up $2 a slice cheesecake, people. If you want that, go to the grocery store. If you want 'melt in your mouth, so good you create a photo montage (which I did)' quality, head over here.

when i first discovered this place a few years ago, i must admit, my standard for chocolate eclairs changed FOREVA. the chocolate swan makes SUCH a scrumptious eclair!! one that beckons me to come back time and time again...no matter how drunk, how broke, or how rushed i find myself when i am in vegas. i typically buy a few smaller eclairs to take home in a box to prolong the chocolatey bliss, but the super behemoth of an eclair is meant to be bought and enjoyed with company. if you were to tackle that giant monster by yourself, you will surely keel over in a sweet, sweet death....which might not be a bad thing after all. good eats!! your sweet tooth will thank you!!
The Chocolate Swan serves pastries, ice cream and, of course, chocolate. I wasn't impressed on my first visit, when I tried truffles (very good) and various pastries (good but not special). I didn't return for a year and one half.
This time I had an eclair - a monster of an eclair - a veritable mountain of an eclair. For those wishing to enjoy the delights of a diabetic coma, an even bigger version is available. The pastry shell was thin, crisp, and not too sweet. It was filled with a generous portion of rich but light pastry cream, and topped with good chocolate. I still wouldn't rate The Chocolate Swan as highly as Jean-Philippe Ptisserie or Lentre, but it's pretty darned good.
The Chocolate Swan used to have two locations in Mandalay Place. One has closed; the one near The Luxor remains open.
Beard papa ain't got nothin' on Chocolate Swan!
Chocolate covered Eclairs. Variety of sizes...mini, regular, and big daddy...I opted for the mini as I had just eaten a huge burger at the burger bar.
Oh, and the dark chocolate covered toffee is pretty good too. Especially for breakfast the next day.
They lose one star because the clerk was a smart ass...but in a good way. I'm just a sore loser!
