Are you looking for the best desserts in Las Vegas? This city has it all… Including amazing sweet stuff!
If you have a sweet tooth, don’t worry, Las Vegas completely delivers.
I love visiting Las Vegas, and the food is one of the main reasons this city has my heart. There is so much amazing food here, and I’m prone to planning my whole day around where I want to eat and the food I want to try.
Another reason I love Las Vegas? Everything is available, all of the time.
Want a crazy milkshake at 3am? No problem. Want a banana sundae drizzled in caramel sauce for breakfast? Las Vegas can deliver it right to your room.
In this list I’ve included amazing dessert-only places (like incredible donut stores and frozen custard places) but I’ve also included iconic dessert dishes from famous restaurants on the Las Vegas strip too.
So, whether you’re looking to sample the city’s best chocolate cake or the world’s most decadent fortune cookie, look no further!
Anyway, let’s get into it. I’m so excited to share all these amazing desserts with you. I’ve tried to include some classic picks, but also some great places you won’t find on any other dessert lists!

I LOVE this addition to my list, because being from the UK, sticky toffee pudding is a MUST on any trip (if I can find one nearby!).

Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants have long been known for their decadence and high-quality food, and Gordon Ramsay Steak in Las Vegas is no exception. And that includes their dessert menu.
If you’re after a classic British dessert, sticky toffee pudding is your perfect pick. It’s sweet, sticky, rich, but beautifully balanced with toffee sauce and cold ice-cream or cream.
Deliciously gooey and the perfect way to end a meal, it’s a no-brainer, and you’ll love it. This is definitely one of the most unmissable and best desserts in Las Vegas.

One dessert we absolutely had to include on our list is the famous 24-layer cake available at Strip House in Planet Hollywood.
I don’t need to do too much describing here – you’re best just looking at the amazing photo below. This intensely chocolate delight is a must-try if you’re heading to Sin City.
This cake reminds me of Bruce Bogtrotter’s chocolate cake in Matilda (if you know, you know) and it’s one of those ‘ultimate’ cakes that every cake lover should try at least once.
I’m not usually a huge fan of chocolate cake to be honest, but this one is really something special. The thin cake layers make it for a light and fluffy texture, between the rich and smooth buttercream layers.
Though the slices of this cake are undoubtedly huge, it shouldn’t put you off, you can always take it home in a container, if you don’t finish it!
