M&M's World: Mall of America and Las Vegas Strip

The last time I visited M&M's World in Vegas was on my first trip there, in 2001. That was long before this blog.

Then, as luck would have it, I got to visit two of them: the familiar one in Las Vegas and a relatively new one in Bloomington, in the spot where the Peep store used to be.

Other locations include New York, London, Berlin, and Disney Springs. If I am ever in any of those locations, I would probably stop by. It is a fun store.

It is not a in any way a factory outlet feel. The souvenirs are expensive, though indeed cute and tasty.

The Las Vegas location does server more as a museum, with timelines and classic ads.

There is also some great memorabilia, and options for interesting photo opportunities.

I did not see any "Rat Pack" M&Ms in Bloomington.

But both stores have plenty of merchandise, and not all of it is edible.

It is all pretty colorful.

Then of course you do have the option of using various colors, printing your own designs, and doing your own mix.

I find this less useful than the similar option at Jelly Belly, because all M&Ms are pretty good, whereas a mix of jelly beans is probably going to have some you can do without. However, if you are looking for a themed match for a party, it could be perfect.

I loved that we visited both when Halloween was out. That led to some fun decor.

But really, how could it not be fun?

Being newer, the Mall of America location had more of a high-tech feel.

That included giant candy faces peeking at you  through portholes when you are outside the shop.

Minnesota is more sleek, but is focused on the shopping experience. Las Vegas has more to look at. I wouldn't say "no" to visiting either.

COVID: You are very indoors. Please wear a mask and practice social distancing.

Accessibility: Aisles are pretty wide, and while the Bloomington location has two stories and Las Vegas has four, there are elevators as well as escalators.

Bloomington was better equipped for places to sit.

It is worth going. After all, all the world loves M&Ms.

They'll keep an eye out for you.
