Rolled ice cream is a big thing here in Vegas and there are plenty of places where you can get it but Frost N’ Roll is a class away.
The ingredients they use are top of the line including organic agave instead of sugar and fresh fruit that’s hand-picked daily.
Their premium dairy ice creams are all-natural, preservative-free, made fresh to order, and customized for each customer.
They also have a whole line of fresh fruit sorbets, all vegan. Try one of their house creations, like the Chunky Monkey or Hawaiian Sunset, or concoct your own.
Speaking of their house creations, order up a croffle, their take on a croissant-waffle, which you can get topped with Nutella, cookie butter, or their rolled ice cream. Go early because the croffles do sell out!

It’s located in a parking lot off Sammy Davis Jr. you just walk up to the window, order your ice cream and receive it there just like you did with the ice cream man from back in the day.
There’s just a small, small tent covering the window where you order and pay so when it’s hot outside the process of acquiring the ice cream might feel a bit daunting.
Red Velvet – A classic dessert taste, makes for great ice cream at Secret Creamery. Not too overwhelmingly sweet with chunks of red velvet cake as an added bonus.
Sample unique options like blueberry goat cheese, golden turmeric, and 24-month aged parmesan, then order a couple of scoops or a pint to take home. The ice creams are incredibly creamy and rich in flavour and utilize all Nevada-sourced milk.

Or you can just pick from one of their popular signature creations like the very Vegas “Elvis”—a vanilla waffle with vanilla gelato, Nutella, and banana.

Flor de Michoacan specializes in frozen Mexican treats, including cream popsicles and fruit popsicles chock full of huge chunks of hand-cut fruit, shaved ice, chamangos, and ice creams in flavours like pistachio, guava, strawberry vanilla and more.
Popsicles are really the least-respected of the frozen treats and definitely deserve more love—on a hot day when you’re craving something icy cold, a fresh fruit popsicle can hit the spot in a way that ice cream or sorbet simply can’t.
The popsicles here are edible works of art—kind of like those handmade soaps that look like slices of fancy cakes you want to eat but can’t. These you actually can!
This location is pretty massive and not only features all the ice cream and Mexican sweet treats you could possibly be craving, but it also has a cash-only area where you can grab some actual food.
