Best of Las Vegas 2008 : Eat & Drink : Best Desserts

Reader Pick
THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY
Multiple locations

Cheesecakes are only some of the desserts available at The Cheesecake Factory, but they're definitely among the best. There's the original (with sour cream on top), one with Godiva chocolate, one with fresh strawberries, one with fresh bananas, one that recalls tiramisu, one that recalls tres leches and more. Lots more. What else could readers want? We're not sure, but if it's Blackout Cake or strawberry shortcake or warm apple crisp, they can get that, too. Red Mango finishes a distant second.
Staff Pick
LAYERS
2708 N. Green Valley Parkway, Henderson

The made-from-scratch you-name-it at Layers is the best in town, and we'd wager a lot of dough on that. We like to start our day with a cinnamon-walnut coffeecake or maybe a sticky bun, but later on we're usually game for a Heart of Darkness cake, which has a chocolate-truffle center that gets all mushy — but in a good way — when we warm it, or maybe a classic linzer tartlet or, if we're really hungry, maybe a Whoopie! Pie. Whoopee!

I scream for ICE CREAM! wrote on March 23, 2008 07:30 PM: Folks, if you are looking for a great place to take the family (kids especially) for an eye popping, extravaganza of ice cream deserts, you need to check out the ICE CREAM OVERLOAD CAFE off the 215 and Stephanie.
