This is one reason why Las Vegas is not solely a playground for adults. The Ethel M Chocolate Factory, named after the mother of Forrest Mars of Mars Candy, provide an alternative for parents and kids making the most of their stay in Las Vegas. While some companies keep their operation a secret, this self-guided factory tour allows tourists to see how chocolates are made. You'll get to appreciate beyond the taste to see the long process to perfect the shape, taste, and texture. Through the windows, you can witness workers pouring ingredients into pipes and tanks holding 20,000 to 35,000 gallons of chocolates, or each piece filled or fruits coated with chocolates. If watching makes you feel hungry or crave for some mouthfuls, free samples from the chocolate collections, gourmets and fondues are available at the lounge. Don't worry about eating too much, the samples are endless. While you might have given up chocolates for a long time, kids will surely love it. Part of the tour package is the chance to see 350 varieties of cactus found in the 3-acre garden. You might have seen some in books but there's nothing more amazing than seeing the real thing.
