Ethel M Botanical Cactus Garden

Lovely place to visit and get high quality chocolates. Decided to visit the cactus garden first, and they're a sight to see. Who knew there was so much to learn? We spent about 20 minutes selecting our box of chocolates. I highly suggest building your own box by the way. It's a great deal in my opinion.

Great place to take your family. The factory tour is great it's so neat to watch the chocolates being made. The cactus gardens are fun and a couple years ago we went to the Easter event they had and my kids loved it! Great place to have in our community!

Took the chocolate tasting class, very delicious and full of heartfelt history. Also walked the botanical cactus garden. Beautiful. A great place to take friends, and an even better date!

Buh, whaddaya mean you don't have chocolate cactus? ;p Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden is a free & worthwile distraction when you want to be away from the Strip for awhile, but still close enough to head back to continue availing yourself of sinful debauchery and/or losing your entire savings account. The Cactus Garden greets visitors as they arrive. When I went, I admittedly wasn't a huge cactus fan. I dunno - maybe it's the spines, maybe it's the phallic looking Saguaro cactus. Cactus just wasn't my cup of tea. Ethel M has an assortment of cacti on display, which I've read are adorned with lights during the Holiday season. My horticultural buddy, who collects cacti, has given me various fruiting cacti like the Peruvian Apple cactus, which has made me appreciate the hardy & resourceful cactus. If I were to go back, I would look at the garden with a more loving glance. The Chocolate Factory is a self-guided tour. Visitors read the various displays on the voyage of a caocao bean into fancy packaging. The highlight of course, free samples! Halfway through the tour, visitors get their choice of sample - milk, dark or white chocolate. I may have obtained a couple samples via a few well-timed out walkthroughs ;p The tour ends in the chocolate shop, with the chocolates fetching a pretty hefty price. Looking for more familiar choices?Then, on the left is............. M&M's World! Purveyor of all things M&M. Lots of cute lil knickknacks for the M&M lover. I remember seeing a chess set, which is pretty dope. It was interesting to see all the items available to buy, but nothing that I wanted to take home. Now, if they had M&M colored nipple stickers, then M&M's World would be in business. I'm Asian, so they'd be milk chocolate M&M's ;p BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Overall, a cool free place to check out while you're in Vegas. Recommend!
