  • You can stroll through the lush,
    3-acre Botanical Cactus Gardens
    to walk off some of the chocolate
    you got in Ethel M's Cocolate Store
    With more than 350 different species,
    Ethel M's cactus garden is one of the
    largest of its kind in the United States.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Some of the many cacti and succulents displayed at the garden
    are Ocotillo, Beavertail cactus, Compass Barrel cactus and
    Teddy Bear Cholla.

    Walkways weave their way through the garden, and visitors are
    able to sit on benches throughout the property and take in the
    scenery. Various trees, from the Twisted Acacia to the Desert
    Willow, provide shade.

    At Christmas, the garden is all lighted with 1,000's of Christmas
    lights throuout the entire garden.

    Visiting Hours: Daily
    5 a.m. - 10 p.m. PST

    Things To Do: Ehel M Chocolate Factory

  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Admission to the Chocolate Factory,
    located 15 minutes from the Strip, is
    free. Once inside, visitors take a self
    guided tour, complete with step by
    step placards and can watch video
    demonstrations.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Large glass windows provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse
    at the candy making process, from the preparation of candy
    fillings to each piece of candy being wrapped individually in foil.

    The tour ends in the Chocolate Shoppe, where visitors are tempted
    with an expansive array of confections. The first sample is free, but
    few visitors are able to stop at just one. The Lemon Satin Cremes,
    Almond Butter Krisps, Caramel Splendors, Pecan Caramel Raptures,
    Coconut Delights and Almond Clusters are nearly impossible to resist.
