The Hershey Chocolate World attraction, located in the New York-New York hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, offers customers more than 800 types of treats. Here it’s easy to get lost among so many sizes, flavors and colors. Your main task will be to select the items that please your palate the most from the two floors of the space. The temptations start right at the front of the place, which opened on June 3, 2014. When you see the “giant” chocolates with the most famous packaging, your eyes are already filled with anticipation for what’s to come.
And the experience couldn’t be better: if you’ve always wanted to enter a real chocolate factory, like in the movies, this is a desire that will be easily satisfied at this destination. Inside this 1,200 square meter mega-mall dedicated to cocoa sweets, you’ll have the opportunity to try out the brand’s various combinations and novelties that are distributed daily by the staff, and what’s more, it’s all free.
Of course, it’s practically impossible not to take something home with you. As well as chocolate bars, you can buy accessories, household items and different gifts. And there’s a lot on offer, from teddies that smell deliciously of chocolate to t-shirts, mugs, key rings, and for those who can’t wait to get to the checkout to grab one of the delicacies, there’s a special corner with a bakery that produces various types of baked goods, made to order, to the delight of its visitors.
Eat with your eyes
And you thought the fun stopped there? Negative! To add even more to the place’s charms, various resources are used to attract tourists, one of them? How about coming across replicas of the Statue of Liberty carved from Hershey’s milk chocolate or the Empire State Building made from 1,800 bars of Hershey’s milk chocolate? Incredible, isn’t it?
What’s more, on the first floor, a huge colorful wall with little Hershey’s Kisses is available for you to buy as many as you like. The idea here is to fill your bag with as many flavors as you want to taste.
Modernity
Using technology to help you have fun, various experiments can be carried out interactively. One of them is the chance to create your own chocolate bars and customize candy wrappers the way you want. Another feature is the touch screens scattered around the store, which allow you to send your friends a virtual Hershey Kiss, where you can record a video starring in your own TV commercial as the brand’s poster boy, which in this case is you. Maybe this is your time to shine?
In addition, customers can also access a timeline, dating back to 1857, telling the inspiring story of Hershey. For those who like to include culture in their programming, this is a great choice, don’t you think?
