Rewind the time and take yourself back a few years to the era of soda jerks serving you up malts in their clean, crisp white outfits. This is the golden age of ice cream where it is handmade and everything is deliciously thick and tasty. Ice cream is not mass produced, but handcrafted to create that perfect consistency and wonderful flavor. Now fast forward to the present and you’ll find yourself at Nielsen’s Frozen Custard, one of the best places to chill out during the Vegas sun. This place brings you back to the past without being too far from home. Everything along the walls brings the golden age of the 50s back to the present while offering the best ice cream it had to offer. Nielsen’s doesn’t mess around when it comes to custard – they keep it fresh, frosty, and full of flavor. Toppings just make each bite that much more amazing. A sundae is the most complex thing you’ll find here; everything is simple. Whether it’s a scoop in a cone or cup, a concrete, or a float, these frozen treats are simply delicious. Best of all service is done with a smile, making this seem like less of a ice cream shop and more like being at home with some friends.

My go-to place for frozen custard in Vegas. PERFECT, silky, rich and delicious in flavor and texture. Their vanilla is utterly addictive (i’ve been getting it once a week! Ouch!) but I think the best part might be their hand-made waffle cone. The batter is rich and has just a dash of cinnamon to make you stand up and take notice.

Atmosphere inside is cute, and the people working there are nice. There is a daily special flavor, but i’ve never gotten it. I stick to vanilla, but when cashew caramel is made fresh next time i’m there, I may just have to try it! – Lisa K.

Taste it, try it, and love it. Nielsen’s is the premier ice cream shop in all of Las Vegas, and rightly so. With some of the best frozen treats this side of the Mississippi, who can argue?

Nielsen’s Frozen Custard can be found at 9595 S Eastern Ave Ste 120 Las Vegas, NV 89123 and contacted at (702) 451-4711. Check their full menu out at www.nielsensfrozencustard.net
