I could jump for joy, I love Sprinkles! I love the design of their stores, I love the look of their products and packaging, I love how delicious their treats are! We made multiple trips back to Sprinkles during our stay in Vegas.

Everything tends to look better at night in Vegas - sparkly lights!

The famous cupcake ATM!!! We saw many people use it with such happiness and excitement when the cupcake was dispensed. I wanted to try, but it only takes credit card and I didn't want to pay for the exchange rate.

But it doesn't matter. You can get the same cupcakes in store! But we were here for their frozen treats.

I spy waffle cones and red velvet waffle cones!

If you order a Sprinkles sundae, you get a scoop of ice cream between a cupcake bottom and top. If your order a Sprinkles sandwich, you get a scoop of ice cream between two cupcake tops!

You can also get cookie sundaes, or a cookie sandwich with a scoop of ice cream in between.

We tried their yummy caramelized Cap'n Crunch ice cream which is what it sounds like, Cap'n crunch cereal sprinkled into milky Cap'n Crunch flavoured ice cream. And the strawberry ice cream, sometimes when the heat is too much, I default to fruits instead of chocolate or overly sweet desserts.

And our favourite, the blood orange sorbet, which is a dairy-free citrus sorbet flavored by zesty blood oranges. Perfectly refreshing!

There's a new little strip in Vegas known as the Linq. There's shops, bars, restaurants and an observation wheel! This was our new favourite place to explore and we wandered in looking for lunch. Chayo caught my eye because I can always eat tacos. The space is pretty neat, the bar closest to the patio and indoor seating around a mechanical bull.

We ordered the avocado corn chopped salad with romaine lettuce, hearts of palm, cactus, avocado, corn, pomegranate, and spicy pumpkin seeds tossed in a citrus vinaigrette. Can you tell we're trying to stay healthy on vacation? Salad! This rarely happens. Must be the desert heat, we were constantly thirsty there. With all those ingredients, we just thought the salad would be tastier. But it wasn't. :(

The tacos didn't fare better. The beer battered fish tacos with red cabbage and cilantro mayo in flour tortillas were pretty basic and bland. Howard commented that we made better fish tacos at home.

A little bit better, the slow roasted rib eye with spring onions, radish, lettuce, and cascabel sauce in corn tortillas.

We would recommend eating elsewhere in the Linq or even venturing further for better tacos.
