"At the Grand Bazaar Shops on the Las Vegas Strip, I visited a 768-square-foot Duck Donuts that makes every doughnut to order so each one is served hot with toppings like blueberry glaze or peanut butter frosting and additions such as rainbow sprinkles and cookie crumbs. The shop also offers sundaes (scoops of ice cream on a hot doughnut), shakes, coffee, and ice-blended drinks, and its most popular item has been the breakfast sandwich—a sliced glazed doughnut loaded with eggs, sausage, and cheese, then covered in maple glaze and bacon bites. In a few weeks, after it receives its liquor license, it will begin selling oversized 100-ounce boozy doughnut shakes (served in four-foot-tall tubes) in flavors like mudslide, pina colada, and strawberry shortcake with six to 12 shots of alcohol for $100, served with four straws and four doughnuts; a 25-ounce version (with or without alcohol) will also be available with one doughnut on top and a lanyard for carrying it around your neck. Unlike many Vegas doughnut shops that sell out around noon, this Duck Donuts is open daily from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., serving doughnuts and drinks late into the night." - Janna Karel
