How Las Vegas Celebrates National Chocolate Day
"National Chocolate Day is celebrated annually on October 28. While
there are many chocolate related holidays throughout the year, National
Chocolate Day is a day to celebrate all things chocolate." A few of my favorite "Chocolate Destinations" here in Las Vegas are Ethel M's Flagship Store & Factory that has a super cool cactus garden (especially during the Holiday Season with an amazing lights display), Hershey's Chocolate World- 2 stories of yum! and M&M World where you can get everything M&M's and even custom print your own, in store! Enjoy National Chocolate Day and check out some of these Las Vegas Tourist Attractions.
Visit one of our Ethel
M® Chocolate stores and choose from our collection of premium
chocolates, create a personalized gift for a friend or loved one, or
take a self guided tour of our cactus garden and chocolate factory to
see how we have been making chocolate for over 100 years.

Offering a wide
range of M&M'S chocolates and merchandise, the M&M'S® World
stores reflect the huge popularity of M&M'S®, the world's most
popular confectionery brand. The stores' merchandise includes apparel,
kitchenware, bedding, jewelry, and glassware, as well as seasonal items
and specially-designed M&M'S® branded items that reflect the
personalities of the cities – Las Vegas, New York City, Orlando,
Henderson and London – where the stores are located.
Our first location opened in Las Vegas in 1997, in the Showcase Mall
next to the MGM Grand. This four-story retail center features a gift
shop on the first floor. Choose from a variety of personalized key
chains, charms, mugs and every souvenir imaginable. If you can't find
your name, no worries – you can actually customize your own ID tag.
The second floor offers a wide selection of candy dispensers and
T-shirts, but the truly phenomenal site is the rainbow wall featuring 22
different M&M'S® colors. Simply M-azing!!
The third floor is dedicated entirely to collector's items and on the
fourth and final floor, you'll find luggage and home décor. In 2010
M&M’S World® launched the Personalized Printer, its newly-developed
MY M&M’S® experience, allowing store guests to create and print
personalized messages and popular Las Vegas icons on M&M’S®
Chocolate Candies on demand, on location.
You'll also get an up-close look at a replica of Kyle Busch's 18 M&M'S® sponsored race car.
As you ascend by escalator, you'll see a timeline of how the M&M'S®
characters have evolved throughout the years. These walls showcase
humorous movie posters as well.
And speaking of movies, you can catch a 3-D film while you're here.
Movies play from 10 am - 6 pm Sunday through Thursday and 10 am - 8 pm
Friday and Saturday.
