Vegas - Red Mango
I went to Las Vegas and got back on Saturday. I had previously heard that there was a Red Mango store there, so I made a point to visit there at least once.

Red Mango actually started in Korea a few years ago, where it has been very successful. I had Korean friends updating their cyworlds with pictures of yogurt from Red Mango. I wasn't about to be going to Korea anytime soon, so I thought I wouldn't be able to try this frozen yogurt. Then I heard Red Mango was coming to the US, having it's first US store in Los Angeles and another in Las Vegas, but I knew it might be awhile before it comes anywhere near San Francisco/San Jose. So when I went to Las Vegas, I had to have some Red Mango yogurt!

On the left is original yogurt with mango, honeydew, and dark chocolate. On the right is also a medium with raspberries, cantaloupe, and pineapple.

They also have green tea flavor, with toppings similar to what Pinkberry offers, though a bit different. Instead of a bowl of yogurt, you can also get a blender, which is a smoothie-like drink of yogurt and toppings.

The yogurt from Red Mango is very good. It's creamier than I remember Pinkberry to be, and less sour without losing that tartness. I actually prefer my yogurt, Red Mango or Pinkberry, with fruit, not any of the dry toppings such as cereal or dark chocolate. I tried various combinations while I was there, and realized I like my yogurt with any kind of fruit the best.

Mm, I wish Red Mango would come up to the Bay Area sometime soon!

It's across from the Hard Rock Hotel, which isn't on the strip. I don't know where you'll be staying, but I've found out that there is a free shuttle from Hard Rock Hotel to some of the hotels on the strip, so you may want to look up on that. I had a car while I was there, so getting there wasn't hard. It's a bit too far to walk from the strip, so I think the shuttle is useful.

Actually, I take that back. It's within a walkable distance depending on where on the strip you are on. It's about 2 blocks away from Planet Hollywood.
