in Nevada-Las Vegas
I'm attempting to put together a welcome bag and I wanted to include a food/snack item that is MADE in Vegas.  I cannot find any, I did find a place called Danielle's Popcorn and Chocolate I think they are made in Nevada but not Las Vegas but even that would be okay.

I live in Detroit so of course I know things here and I thougth I would just get these items on the internet for Vegas but I can't seem to find any. ???

    The only treat coming to mind that's actually made here are Ethel M Chocolates.  It's a company like See's Candies (my favorite, being originally from CA), but they're local to Vegas.

    You can purchase off their website *clicky*.

    The only thing I can think of is Ethel M Chocolates. The Ethel M Choolate Factory is in Henderson, and there's a couple stores-- in the airport, the Fashion Show Mall (which is on the strip), and the Flamingo. I think you can buy them on the internet, too.

    I've never seen anything food-related that's local to Vegas.

    I wouldn't say Know for, but Chocolate Lushes is local. They are making our wedding favors for us. They have lots of chocolate dipped goodies.

    Other than that Etel M and sin city suckers.

    Considering we are known for Area 51 they have a product called Alien beef Kerky.  I have never bought any but I know its good.

    I've toured the Ethel M factory.  Did you know that they do NOT employ Oompa Loompas?  Sad sad sad.

    The only Vegas "snack" that I thought of off the top of my head was $1.99 shrimp cocktail.  But that won't work in your bags.

    Why not just include a snack of any kind for late night, post gambling munchies?  Or something like chocolate poker chips or something?

    This is the only reason I bother to post.  Oh, and to annoy people but I save that for E.  Local boards are far too sensitive.

    There a place called popcorn girl (in Vegas) I've seen it on  food network.  They have some crazy popcorn flavors and do little bags for favors and such.

    Be afraid.  Be VERY afraid.  Although I still lurk on my month board and they all of a sudden went from puppies & rainbows to starting their own FFF threads.  I guess as the wedding date gets closer, even the "nice ones" get sick of dumbass drama...

    Yeah, I ventured there once and all of their weddings were already planned.  I booked my venue 7 months out and thought that I was way ahead of the game.  I just can't imagine planning something for over a year.  It would drive me batty.  7 months is bad enough.

    But I still try to be nicer here than I am in on E or IRL.  Some ladies are delicate flowers.

    There is a company that makes chocolate covered sunflower seeds and other confections called "sunbursts."  Also Davidsons tea is a local company.
