Bouchon Bakery at the Venetian Casino

This place has never failed me; chef Thomas Keller has never failed me. Last weekend was my third time here. Their pastries are always great and fresh.
I love their banquette, croissants and cookies (he TLC cookies to be exact) I got the Thomas Keller dessert book; I knew each desserts have a special meaning behind it and how they made it to achieve the perfection.
Comparing this bakery and Carlo’s bakery, which is also located at the same hotel, I would say hand down to Thomas Keller (sorry Buddy).

Bouchon Bakery is always a win in my book. I’ve tried the one in Yountville, and regretted not buying more cookies to take home, so I went to the one at the Venetian to stock up. First, we found the small location underneath the elevators, and they were closing and didn’t have much left. They referred us to the location near the clock tower, and after stopping for directions twice and walking in circles for 30 minutes, we finally found it. They were also about to close, but they had enough goodies left to satisfy my needs.
I purchased a blueberry muffin (gone the next morning), a Better Nutter (I think that’s what it’s called — that one made it back to Colorado with me), an oatmeal cookie, and a chocolate chip cookie (also made it back to Colorado), and two Oh-​Ohs (gone within minutes). It was all amazing. Now I’m fat, but it was well worth it. Now I have done the proper research to prepare me to make every single one of the recipes in the cookbook.

Great place for a quick breakfast and coffee if you are staying at The Venetian. I tried a bit of the chocolate almond croissant and cheese danish and of the two I think the cheese danish was better. The filling wasn’t too sweet and the outside pastry was crisp and flaky. Chocolate macaron and better nutter cookie are rich and decadent. Now time to walk the strip and walk off those calories!

This is the outside location, not the internal one. Once my friend got me hooked on the macarons, I had to have some more.
The shop wasn’t very busy and the folks on the inside were more than happy to help. I bought one box of six small macarons, one of each flavour and I bought 8 of the larger ones. When They brought out a tray of the pistachio, after they’d filled my box and I’d already paid for it, I have to admit I was disappointed. Seeing that, the gentleman helping me gave me one gratis. :) That’s what I call customer Service. WAY TO GO! You’ll have my business from now on!

This location in Las Vegas is not up to par to the one in NYC.
The 2 stars is for service and quality of the macaron and croissant.
First, it was obvious I was next in line and the counter girl took the guy behind me. There were 3 other workers milling around; either inside the kitchen or doing inventory. None of them acknowledged me even with my irritated face. Finally one of the workers asked what I wanted.
The macaron was cold; meaning it was not fresh. I also got the almond croissant; if I’ve known this before hand I would’ve never wasted my money. Again, it was not fresh; it was dry and lacked almond cream filling.
The vanilla macaron that I usually get at Bouchon’s in Columbus Circle is so fresh, decadent and service is great!
If Thomas Keller knew about the quality of the products that they’re serving here, he would be appalled! Two wrongs will never make a right! Service sucks and so do their products. Shame on you!

They open super early at 6 a.m. I love their beignets and chocolate croissant. Their coffee and express drinks are from a machine so I would just recommend regular coffee here.

This bakery is located outside in The Venetian.
It’s pretty small and can easily be missed.
The two doors are seriously located within feet of each other — yes, that small.
Once there I got 6 large macarons as well as a Red Velvet Cupcake.
The macarons were BOMB, as usual.
I’ve been to the Napa location.
This location isn’t busy AT ALL.

great little place to get yummy pastries and coffee/​teas. Got a couple kouign amanns, a chocolate croissant, a macarons during our stay.
Good stuff, not the best, but the convenience of the location is a definite plus when staying at the Venetian. The macarons were very yummy. I think the almond/​chocolate croissants at Jean Philippe Patisserie are better.
I enjoyed the Chai tea latte, husband thought it was too sweet but i enjoyed it!

It’s good pastry but at high prices even for Vegas. I thought this was going to be a cheap breakfast for us but turns out 2 pastry 2 macaroons and 2 coffees and we’re @ $ 30 so we could’ve had a sit down breakfast anyway.
Also they don’t offer iced coffee though it’s going to be nearing 100 degrees.
The patio and Venetian scenery outside is nice but it’s also overrun by birds. There must’ve been 50+ of them all over the patio.

Fabulous bday cake by Bouchon !!! Delicious and moist ! Beautifully decorated — we will return

I have a slight obsession with macarons. So I seek out authentic macarons. This is my ultimate favorite place to get authentic macarons. They are absolutely divine, and by far the best I’ve had state side. Doesn’t even matter what flavor, they are so perfectly made.
To bite into the perfectly baked crunchy yet chewy cookie then taste the incredible filling… it’s heavenly.
My old favorite was Earl Grey, but I recently tried the Peanut butter and jelly which is… Amaziiing!!! They now make large macarons, as well as my favorite little ones. The vanilla bean, pistachio, strawberry, and chocolate are all fantastic. Always grab at least on sea salt caramel, they are superbly delicious.
If you are in Las Vegas or Beverley Hills go to Bouchon’s Bakery!

**Casino/​Sports Book**
This is one of three Bouchon Bakery locations in the Venetian.
Locations:
— Venetian Theater
— Clock Tower
— Casino/​Sports Book
Keep in mind, this listing used to be for the Venetian Theater location, so reviews and photos reflect that. Now there are three listings and for some reason, this one was converted to the Sports Book location. The Venetian Theater location reflects all three bakeries. Yeah, it’s confusing and the pages are terribly managed.
This is the bakery near the Cantor Race & Sports Book, Walgreens, and Las Vegas Blvd entrance.
Favorites: Epi Bread, Blueberry Financier, Kouign-​Amann, Almond Croissant.

My sister and I were in Vegas last weekend. I have to be honest and say this place was a let down. I’d read many reviews and looked over a lot of pics and got excited to try something sweet. The treats we bought did not live up to the expectations.
We each got a macaron and croissant. The macaron tasted like it was stale. Like, the taste something gets when it’s left in the fridge for too long and is an absorbent type food. I got the apple croissant and thought it was way too dry. My sister had the chocolate croissant and thought the same thing.
It was kind of a pain to get to, so this is a spot I’ll not waste time on next time I’m in town.

Yum, yum, and more yum! I only enjoyed a café mocha and a salted caramel macaron from the Bouchon Bakery. If I didn’t exercise self control, that list would be a whole lot longer!
The mocha was a true mocha: CHOCOLATE-​y with some espresso mixed in. The macaron was heavenly and cooked perfectly — crispy at the initial bite, then chewy on the inside.
I regret not trying more baked goods at the Bouchon Bakery stand during my stay at the Venetian. What I did try was divine!

The cappacino was good. The chocolate croissant was delicious. They have a regular coffee and croissant deal for $ 5.00.
It’s a bit pricey and don’t confuse it with the restaurant which is on the 10^th floor of the Venetian.

How is possible with a French name Bouchon have such a terrible croissant!!!
Should have believed the Unilocaler who wrote that the pastries were staled and the bakery wasn’t good. We bought two croissants at 10:45am, one was almond the other was apple. Those were probably the worst croissants we ever had. They were so dry that they were coming apart like a crumbling cookie. That’s just unacceptable for the name and the location. We didn’t complain and didn’t return them but probably should have… one bite and in the trash they go.
Should have gone back to Jean Philippe Patisserie in Aria which had better selection and top of the line pastries.
This review is for the bakery only. I’m sure the restaurant is a lot better… I hope.

Awesome hidden bakery in the Venetian, off the casino floor, behind the elevator on the first floor, and near the elevators to enter the rooms.
The line is typically a bit longer in the morning since all their yummy breakfast treats are stocked and a plentiful, but the line moves pretty fast. Their shortbread cookies look and feel dense but are quite delectable. Their parfaits are filling and the yogurt they use is really creamy.
Good spot to pick up a quick bit before hitting the road or after a hangover.

So there are a few Bouchon locations around the Venetian. The restaurant is located next to guest registrations (where you check in)… There’s a counter under the escalators coming from the parking garage to the casino floor, next to the elevators going to the hotel room… And little shops at street level in from of Venetian, and close to the the skybridge leading to TI.
I visit the counter by the guest elevators (a few times).
There’s several employees behind the counter. Service was okay, but a bit rushed, even when there wasn’t much of a line.
Oatmeal cookie– large. Full of flavor. So so chewy. I bought it and ended up not eating it until 2 days later, still so fresh tasting.
Granola bar– sweet and chewy. Also really good.
Chocolate almond croissant– so crisp and flaky on the outside… But soft, moist, and buttery inside. Just enough chocolate bits and a nice amount of almond spread. Just a bit messy to eat!
Macarons– I got one of each flavor. Again I didn’t eat right away, instead, I took it home and stored it in the fridge. Next day, the macarons still tasted very fresh. Delicate cookie, soft, and chewy. The vanilla and chocolate ones were very sweet and rich. The flavors were kinda plain actually… The PB&J macaron tasted a bit like the chocolate one, but with jelly/​jam in it. The size of hockey pucks, just one is enough to satisfy any sweet craving you might be having. I’m hopeful that the pistachio one I have left at home has a flavor I’m more excited about.
Overall, I loved Bouchon and will definitely come back to try some of their other items next time I’m in town… Everything had a fresh taste and with quality ingredients.

Anytime I’m by the Time Warner Center in NYC, I can’t not stop by Bouchon Bakery to get a TKO or some other pastry treats. So when the GF’s family and I were in Vegas, I knew I had to bring them by Bouchon Bakery at the Venetian.
Pro-​Tip: If it’s your first time, you will get lost trying to find this small outpost so make sure you leave enough time if you’ve got other events on the agenda! After asking 4 different staff members and getting 4 different answers for two different floors, I ultimately lucked my way unto the Bakery. If you’re walking towards the guest elevators, do NOT go up them. Instead, you’ll find Bouchon Bakery literally behind the escalators.
Pistachio Macaron [$ 3.50]
I started off with a few macarons. Perfectly textured with a nice chew, the pistachio imparted a slightly nutty flavor which was nice.
Salted Caramel Macaron [$ 3.50]
You can’t go wrong with the salted caramel, which had great depth and richness.
Better Nutter [$ 3.25]
The better nutter was better than your average Nutter Butter indeed. Within crisply thin cookies was a gorgeously creamy and light peanut butter that wasn’t too intense. Pass the milk please!
TKO [$ 3.25]
But really we were here for the TKO. Better than your average Oreo, the juxtaposition of the crème and the bitter chocolate notes from the cookies brought me back to childhood indeed.
The pricing is admittedly a bit high, but you’re paying for technique and precision from the pastry kitchen of Thomas Keller, one of America’s notable chefs. So if you’ve got a sweet tooth and need to satiate that craving, head on over to Bouchon Bakery — if you can find it!

Want a little taste of heaven before hitting the buffets?
While we were huffing it from the Venetian over to the Fashion Show shopping center, I had the urge for one of their delightful almond croissants.
Now mind you, having been in Paris just a few weeks back, I know the difference between French and American inclinations, but the almond croissant was amazing. Flaky on the outside and moist and buttery, with sweet almond paste smeared heavily throughout.
It’s not the same, compared to Paris, but a good enough diversion for the time being.
In addition to croissants and pain au chocolate, there were tarts, buns, macarons, Danishes, cookies, and lovely baguette sandwiches lined up in the display case paying homage to the native style snacks everywhere (simple sandwiches of ham+cheese, just cheese, etc) but make sure you get in early, because the croissants go quick.
