Before the Las Vegas Strip was packed with mega resorts, Love It Frozen Custard was already serving rich, creamy treats to locals. Since 1973, this fourth-generation family-owned business near the Stratosphere has been a go-to for frozen custard lovers. Voted the best frozen dessert by newspapers and magazines worldwide, it offers sundaes, shakes, malts, and frozen quarts to go. The Western Sundae, topped with hot fudge, caramel, and pecans, is a fan favorite, with new flavors rotating daily. Prices start around $5 with quarts for about $8. I recommend ordering before you arrive using the mobile app rather than waiting at the walk-up window because the area is a bit sketchy. Also, don't forget to get a stamped loyalty card to earn towards free treats. I love discovering hidden gems like this to share with guests at my 5-star properties. If you or someone you know is planning a trip to Vegas, please reach out.
