They give chocolate samples as you walk through the door. Chocolate to die for. I can say this is the best chocolate hands down. Im so happy I received the sample because if not I wouldnt have made a purchase. But they did and I did 😊Chocolate Bar 10 out of 10Red Velvet Cupcake 8 out of 10Chocolate Caramel Bar 10 our of 10Hot chocolate 20 out of 10 (I dont like hot chocolate but drank all theirs)Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows 9 out of 10Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Sticks 10 out of 10Seeing how its all done was cool also.

We are definitely chocoholics and we were delighted to visit this place. With the mask requirement reinstated, it was tough to breathe in the chocolatey air. But what an amazing place. You can also watch their chocolate making process Even though it was blistering hot, we braved the walk through the most exotic cactus garden I have ever seen. For chocolate lovers, head over to this lovely spot!

We had a great quick visit today, with an introduction led by the greeter at the chocolate factory and a self guided tour. They were making vanilla satin cremes today at the factory, it was cool to see! All of the chocolates from Ethel Ms I have enjoyed but my favorites so far is the lemon satin creme, raspberry satin creme, the prickly pear satin creme, and all the caramels.We also went through the cactus garden: I appreciated the labels for all the plants in the garden, it’s just like a botanical park! 3 acres of cactus and desert plant heaven.

I absolutely love this place. I signed up online for a Chocolate and Wine Tasting and absolutely love the experience. Chris did a Awesome job with the presentation. I learned quite a bit about the history of Ethel M. I look forward to future visits.

I signed up for a chocolate tasting event, it is something I have been wanting to do for years and I am so glad I finely attened.I leaned so much from the class - things I never knew about Ethel MSide note I agree Chocolate is a fruit ;)With all the chocolate I have eaten in my life it was so fun to actually experience chocolate. To understand the flavors and how you eat can make such a difference- like putting a salted caramel upside down on your tongue- Salt side down - changed the whole flavor of the candy.Finding all the flavors that that make up each peice.I truly enjoyed everything about my day at Ethel M - the walk through the cactus garden was so relaxing - truly a wonderful experience on so many levels

This place is wonderful! I really enjoyed walking around the cactus garden, and the chocolate bars I bought in the store were absolutely delicious! I cant wait to go back!

My party did the wine and chocolate tasting and we all enjoyed it a lot. Andy taught us a lot about Ethel M Chocolate Factory history, chocolate, and pairing it with wine. It was awesome to watch them make their products; they were making their one pound snickers bars when we walked by the window. We then went to the gift shop and Jackie was amazing. She answered our questions about the factory. I definitely walked away with a lot of chocolate.

The cactus garden was quite large and very interesting. They were decorating for Christmas. Best viewed in the twilight hours. We were there at 10AM. Disappointed that the factory was not operational. A view people were packing but that was it. They did not have tastings but that could have been due to COVID-19. We did get a sample as we entered.

Ethel M is worth the visit when you are visiting Las Vegas. I enjoyed the Cactus garden and they have tasting experiences that you can enjoy as well. Their chocolates are truly perfectly balanced in flavor, creamy, smooth. If you love chocolate, you need to try Ethel M’s.

Ultra clean, & very friendly & helpful staff.There is a walk thru tour & a cactus garden you can walk thru as well. An ice pack is included with your purchase so your candy can survive the Vegas heat until you get back to your destination. A must see if you have a sweet tooth.

Brought 2 of my grandkids and gave my youngest granddaughter her 1st piece of chocolate she 😍 it. We loved the gardens too.

Fun place to check out the chocolate factory and cactus garden. Depending on when youre there, you might see some of the workers making and packaging chocolates.

The Quality of Product is great and workers are incredibly friendly and accommodating to me entering with my Service Dog. Unfortunately a pet was let into the building in a Regestered Service Dog vest and had no interest in the handler after seeing Oliver. And Under ADA there are no SD registration. we made our way to the Cactus Garden for our safety. But otherwise great experience.

A great place to take kids to see how chocolate is made. The processing area can be seen through glass. There are many flavors of chocolate to try and buy. They will also make custom chocolate for you. There is also a cactus garden outside.

Enjoyable chocolate factory (part of the Mars family), with in-depth tastings, self-guided tour, and small gift shop/cafe. Reason for the 4 stars is due to the cost. A single piece of candy will run you more than $2! We did love the large cactus garden outside, perfect for a quick stroll though a variety of cactus species. Nice escape for those traveling to Vegas.

This was such a treat to find! The chocolates were delicious, even compared to the chocolates had in Belgium. The cactus park was very interesting and cool. All the staff were so nice and inftradition. (Thanks Deborah) This will be a new road trip stop traditon.

Very friendly staff, clean factory, free samples, real chocolates for gifts back home. Much different than Hershey Park experience. The free cactus garden has many plants not seen even in big botanical gardens.

Loved this place, great please to go with kiddos. A lot of chocolate ;) go with your stomach empty!!

Great to see how this most awesome candy is made!

Such a nice way to spend a day and eat chocolate. The employees are super nice and sweet. The chocolate is super yummy. The tour is cute. The garden is so adorably prickly. Over all a nice place to take the family for a little walk.The price of the candy is a bit high. But they have a happy hour.

Awesome cactus garden, its free! The chocolate factory offers a variety of tasty treats as well (not free).

Wonderful tour, friendly staff, able to explain all about the chocolate and Factory. Great garden walk outside

It was a bummer that the production lines were down at the time of our visit, but we still were able to follow the process by the steps on the windows. The cactus garden made the trip for me. We live on the east coast and I love cactus, so this was a real treat!

We found Ethel M through attractions lists on Trip Advisor and it was a nice break from the Strip action. We did the regular tasting that lasted about 45-minutes; most of it is history about the Ethel M and how chocolate is sourced/made. Its about 20 minutes of actual tasting and its only 4 chocolates you get to taste. For $20, not bad - the wine tasting along with chocolate is a bit more expensive if you want to try that.The store itself offers chocolate bags/boxes or make your own boxes basically to take home; milkshakes and ice cream are also offered and when we were there, we got to see some of the assembly within their factor from the glass windows in the store.Good stop, dont expect a Hershey Factory type visit.

Beautiful and delicious high end chocolates! You can also watch them being made. They also have a large cactus garden to walk through.

Love their chocolate, love the story of the companys history and love the factory and grounds. Such a fantastic place to visit. Theres also a little tour thing, but we got there post-Easter and I guess thats a slow down time. We still grabbed a 16pc Las Vegas tin and filled it with some real beauties. If youve tried them in the airport, make the trip to the headquarters. Enjoy!!

I love being there with my wife and they have so many types of chocolates. Going back tonight for light show.

The chocolate tasting was fun. Really good chocolates and the cactus garden is really interesting

World class chocolates, best hot chocolate in the world. Outstanding customer service. Everyone is always friendly and knowledgeable about Ethel Ms product line. Our visit was the perfect touch to our Valentines Day.Be sure to take the chocolate factory tour. They also have a chocolate tasting class.

This cactus garden is part of the tour to Ethel M chocolate factory, however, it is one of the most pleasant parts of the visit, very good care, many varieties of cactus and desert flowers, I would have liked to spend more time in the garden enjoying the relaxation of the place, very nice.

Man! What a cool place! Cute little botanical garden - saw species of cacti Id never heard of. Great chocolate! Just a cool little spot

Fun tasting class and visit. After seeing the price of their amazing chocolates, the tasting tour is actually a great deal. We got to sample some flavors that I wouldnt have tried otherwise. We stocked up; and when I saw that they have hot choc, dipped pretzels, brownies, and more, there is no doubt I will be back!! The chocolates are divine and employees are delightful. The cactus garden is a true gem. We really enjoyed this Vegas diversion!

Sweet spot! HahaUsually pretty easy to walk in and out with some awesome Chocolate. If youre holiday shopping however, do it in advance.Been here plenty of times (** for wife ;) ** love it!

Delicious! We did the Chocolate Tasting Experience with Chris. It was very informative, fun and very tasty! Thanks for a fun hour

Cool experience. Loved the garden. So many verity. Chocolate was delicious too.

Sensational, Delightful, Pretty Christmas lights display. Because of Covid-19 protocols we all had a one way path through the cactus garden. A lot of fun little things to see. Good, clean fun.

What a great place for a tour and samples. Everything was awesome and we cant wait to go again. Vic in the store had a large amount of knowledge on the products and history. Hopefully you will get to talk to him.

We went to see the holiday lights at the cactus garden and the shop was already closed when we got there but loved the cactus garden! I do want to go back when the chocolate shop is open and watch them make candies and buy some because they look delicious!

Love this place! Their chocolate is amazing, and the kids always love the tour. When its not so hot out the cactus garden is lovely to walk through. I could spend a few hours here!

Beautiful place. The gardens are very well tended. Of course, fantastic chocolates!

Absolutely a must! The chocolate and wine pairing is great. The cactus garden left me awestruck!

The cactus garden is a must see. Plenty of species of cacti and succulents. Also, great photo opportunities. Factory tour and chocolate gift shop good too.

Took My kids to this chocolate factory and they quite an experience. Actually getting to see how chocolate candy is made. The tour was very informative. And at the end to get to sample a few pieces of candy. They also have a self guided tour outside of the local flora. Which my girls also enjoyed. All in all it was a great little experience.

The staff are super friendly! It was fun walking by the factory. Workers there waved to my kids and made them feel welcome! We each got a sample of chocolate (individually wrapped, of course). The walk through the botanical garden was peaceful and educational. The store had delicious chocolaty goodness such as chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate-covered pretzels, and brownies. They sell boxes of chocolate, individual pieces, and even t-shirts. We enjoyed visiting!

The chocolate is expensive but amazing. The view of the floor is fun. The cactus garden is lovely and there is a floofy kitty who guards it.

We had a great date night with the Valentines day themed lights. It was easy to set the reservation, plentiful parking and not too crowded walking through the cactus garden. There was a longer line than we were willing to wait in for going inside the shop, but thats due to Covid19 regulations not Ethel M.

This is a very expensive place to get very fine chocolate. You get a free piece just for going and they have special events year round. I had their Almond brittle milkshake and it is to die for. Keep the spoon they give you for the chunks of brittle at the bottom of the cup. I do wish they gave you a milkshake straw though, because the tiny ones they give you cant handle the brittle well.

Everyone was friendly there. Jacqueline helped us to pick our chocolate for the Valentines day and she was awesome. Chocolates were very smooth and just melts away in your mouth.

Cutest little cactus garden to visit when you’re in Las Vegas and struggling to find things to do. Came here with my boyfriend the day we had our flight as it was an evening flight so we were trying to find things during the day. They have a nice little gift shops full of amazing chocolates and truffles and you can even have a sneak peak inside the factory and see them working their magic making and packing the chocolates!The cactus gardens were a nice little stroll and super pretty.

Chocolate and 🌵? What fun!

Still a wonderful place to spend an hour or so. Its been open for decades, and the garden contains a diverse collection of indigenous and desert-adapted plants.

Always a stopping place when we visit Vegas. And their cactus garden is nice, especially if you get a chance to go during the holiday season when they have everything decorated with lights......make sure you visit at night to appreciate the lit up garden.

Going to the cactus garden is free, which was a nice little adventure! The chocolate can be a bit expensive but it is very tasty, instead of buying a box l picked out a few pieces and they were all delicious. 😊

Wonderful place to take your family, it is quite small, so make sure to take your time and explore every bit of it. The cactus garden is amazing and relaxing, especially around Christmas with the lights and music they play. Once inside the actual factory, youre greeted by friendly staff. The tour you see is very small, and you have to be lucky to actually see people working. The store itself is quite nice, although expensive in my opinion. All in all, I will definitely come again, my family and I enjoyed it.

Great place. Friendly people and great chocolate

Beautiful cactus garden! We also love the chocolate! The employees are always very friendly and helpful. The chocolate is absolutely amazing, some of the best weve ever had, and definitely worth the price tag. Theres nothing wrong with a Snickers, but this stuff is next level amazing.

This was SO MUCH FUN! Try the chocolate tasting and the gardens are gorgeous

I had a great experience doing the wine and chocolate tasting with my friends. I learned a lot about cocoa that I never knew before. We had two people with allergies in our group and they were very good about accommodating us.

My husband and I were visiting from out of state. We purchased chocolate as gifts for loved ones back home, but didnt take the heat and our walk back to the hotel into account. Emily at the sales counter went above and beyond and got us ice packs so that we could walk our chocolates back in the heat of the afternoon without the chocolates melting.The gardens are beautiful and the facilities were tidy!

We ended up all trying the chocolate bar with lemon, chocolate bar with marshmallow and caramel, and a chocolate bar with peanut butter - all excellent! I gave my son a small little gift box of chocolates and he loved them! Their chocolate is good quality! And their fillings are super flavorful! The lemon was my fave! excellent, i highly recommend

Easily accessible from the Vegas Strip, free-parking, free admission, wheelchair accessible. Tasting room experience is led by friendly staff. Visitors are able to see process. These are fine chocolates, therefore expect prices accordingly in their store. The cacti trails right outside are a nice short walk and also wheelchair accessible. When tired of the casinos, great place to hang out. Open daily 8 to 8.

Fun place to visit, yummy samplers and beautiful Cactus Garden right outside of the store.

It is so interesting to walk around the garden. So many plants to see

Delicious chocolate! If you love chocolate and are looking to get away from the strip for a bit then I highly recommend! We didn’t see chocolate being freshly made in the factory but seeing the factory and machines was pretty cool anyways. They give samples in the store (yay!)! If you go in the winter the hot chocolate is really amazing! We went during Christmas time and the lights in the cactus garden were really pretty. There are some kid activities outside with the Christmas lights so it’s definitely more of a kids event but still pretty! I would love to see the cactus garden again during the day next time!

We have lived in Vegas for 6 years and we go every year since then! A couple times each year actually! So beautiful and so many lights! The chocolate and hot chocolate is amazing! A bit pricey but its worth it! Definitely a must see! Family friendly and lots of photo opportunities!!! A very enjoyable time!

Great facility, and enjoyed the tour. Gardens were beautiful. Staff could have been friendlier.

The Chocolate & Wine tour was great. Vic was awesome...thank you...it obvious you love your job...again thanks Vic for an memorable experience...P Logan

This place is super cool and the chocolate tastes delicious! You definitely couldnt find it anywhere else! The Cactus garden was so pretty with all sorts of plants that I have never seen before. The chocolatiers were so sweet and they gave us plenty of free samples. In the end we got some brownies, cupcakes, pretzels, and strawberries and they were so good. Definitely coming back.

We ended up all trying the chocolate bar with lemon, chocolate bar with marshmallow and caramel, and a chocolate bar with peanut butter - all excellent! I gave my son a small little gift box of chocolates and he loved them! Their chocolate is good quality! And their fillings are super flavorful! The lemon was my fave!

Visited on my last day in Vegas and I’m glad I did or I would have gone back to buy too many. The staff were smiling and helpful the whole time we were there. The knowledgeable lady behind the counter patiently helped us with our choices, because there’s such a wide variety. We bought the design your own chocolate box and we must have picked the best flavors because all of them were amazingly tasty. I never knew chocolate could taste so good. If you’re not sure about going, just do it. We got free chocolate at the door, a look at where all the chocolates are made, we got to see the store and buy some too & then the exit leads you to their garden where you can take a stroll outside. Hope you get to visit you will enjoy it.

This is a hidden gem in Vegas! Everyone is so helpful and welcoming. Masks and social distancing are enforced. Its a real nice treat to have a fun little self guided tour, and check out the cactus garden. Also if you can, sign up to do the chocolate and wine tasting. Its very informative and even my husband who is not a big chocolate fan, really enjoyed it!

Stopped in on our way out of Vegas. Very nice renovated facility. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a friendly woman (all the staff were kind and helpful throughout our visit) who explained the tour and tasting options. The free self-guided tour is a good place to start and when you get to the end theres a free chocolate coin sample. My personal favorites were the dark chocolate bar and the pecan brittle. Family favorites were the nougat bar and the milk chocolate peanut butter bar. Great place to try if youre looking to get off the strip and explore the city.

Nice Chocolate Factory with chocolate making display, and chocolate tasting. There is also a cactus garden in the complex, quite interesting. The prices are quite expensive, but the taste is quite good, and they have some no-sugar chocolates as well.

Just love the lights at Ethel Ms. Outdoors, temp checks, social distancing. Perfect place to stay safe and have fun. 😍❄️😷🎄

Free community event to bring your family and enjoy the cactus lights. Every year we bring the kids, take great pics and create wonderful holiday memories. And who doesnt love free chocolate samples?! Best hot chocolate in the city.

Loved the wine and chocolate tasting cant wait to see the next few events

Awesome!! Making a reservation ahead of time made is so nice! And plenty of social distancing. Lights were beautuful! My Prince enjoyed it 😍

Do you want something off the beaten path? Less casinos and gambling and more site seeing? This is a great stop for the family. You are warmly greeted with a nice piece of chocolate. Along with a glass door to peak and how the chocolate process works. Right after, you can then take a stroll through the cactus garden and enjoy the different species in the area. Overall, a good little pitstop from everything else.

Not much of a tour, mostly just a ploy to get you in to buy the overpriced but good chocolates

If you like gourmet chocolate, you can see it being made. Its a little expensive but, greatness doesnt come cheap.

We @Clearingradi and @Despejandolv crew love coming here from time to time to learn what is cooking up in the sweet world of Ethel Ms

The cactus garden is very pretty, the staff in the chocolate store/factory were very nice. Try the prickly pear cactus chocolate, its delicious. You automatically get free samples too! Expect to pay a little more for the chocolate though.

Nice place, good chocolates, outside is perfect for families. I just gave 4 stars because of the prices. I think that to be a chocolate factory the prices are too high. Very expensive chocolates.

Normally if someone says 3.99 for a chocolate dipped strawberry id say they were crazy, but i would come back here to get another one over and over again. They let me sample some pecan brittle and ended up buying a box. The cactus garden that is attached is breath taking. With educational signs and a shady walkway this is the perfect place to come alone on a date or with the whole family. Tours are provided or would could walk through at your leasure

LOVE LOVE Ethel M. Chocolates.The Cactus gardens are beautiful and so pretty at Christmas.I got my Littlest Sister some yummies today.

If you have a sweet tooth, this is a great place for delicious chocolate and candy 🍬😋

The beautiful cactus garden, which is a part of the Ethel M. chocolate factory experience, is a lovely spot for quiet reflection. Inside the shop, its interesting looking through the glass and watching the little chocolates wind their way down conveyor belts before theyre plucked off and put onto paper trays and ultimately boxed for sale and consumption. (Lucy and Ethel were not wrapping chocolate-covered cherries.)

Aloha! Christmas is best time to visit this chocolatiers. Love the Christmas Decor and even during a rainy night, the spirit of the holidays is wonderful here.

The guy Chris was great entering the tour/ store. Get the milkshake for doing the cacti walk around the garden. Cacti spectacular!

Oh my! Chocolate heaven! ... and an amazingly beautiful cactus garden!

The chocolate tasting was AWESOME!

🍫 Self guided factory tour. Id recommend going on the start of the hour to do the exclusive tasting (in a glass walled private room).Tour shows factory floor at all stages of chocolate creation, which is really neat! See a selection of confections being made which you can grab in gift store at the tour end - theres a free sample, too!Ethel Ms last name is Mars, and the namesake to Mars Candy. Youll find a few throwback originals to the Mars name in the gift shop. Since theyre in the desert, ice packs come with any chocolate order.After, take the time to enjoy the cactus garden. Only in Vegas 🌵

My daughter set up a chocolate tasting tour. I had a wonderful experience and Vic our tour guide did a exceptional job especially with the history of Mrs Ethel M as well as explaining the types of flavors available. The chocolate tastings was cool. I tasted chocolate which I would normally not try, and I’m not a big chocolate person. Yet here I am buying up the whole store.

This place is so cool. Great for the family all ages you can see them make chocolate get samples taste classes. Christmas time is the best. Lights lights and more lights. They even have lights for Valentines so cool . They donate money from on line reservation for are community just amazing.

Great experience, especially if you do the free factory walkthrough and cactus garden experiences.

Great coco

Awesome cactus garden and Christmas lights.

A delightful experience. The chocolate tasting class was fun and educational. The cactus garden was beautiful and enchanting. Definitely recommend a visit here.

We went to see the holiday lights at the cactus garden. It was well set up with appointment times. Everyone kept to their groups and social distanced. The lights were beautiful and the gift shop was less crowded. I actually spent more money than normal because I was able to look around. It was nice to still be able to carry on this tradition even with the restrictions of 2020.

It was fun to watch them make chocolate. The garden is beautiful. The chocolate was divine
