Chocolate-covered raspberries at The Chocolate Swan, in Mandalay Place.

Geri Jeter

All of us eventually have to ferry relatives or visiting friends to the Strip. Your reward for being a good host is The Chocolate Swan. This little bastion of civility is set apart from the slot machines and casino noise on the mall level of Mandalay Place and is a great place to relax mid-schlep. The store carries the usual coffee menu and interesting desserts, but it excels at chocolate—especially the chocolate-covered raspberries. These are not just some pureed or chopped numbers, but a single piece of fresh, sweet-tart fruit covered in smooth, creamy chocolate. Definitely not a two-biter—unless you want to wear raspberry juice; just pop the whole thing in and wait for the flavor rush. Accompany with a double espresso.
