LAS VEGAS, NV – (December 30, 2025) – Salt & Straw, the beloved, artisan ice cream brand, makes its debut on the Las Vegas Strip – opening new shops on Wednesday, Dec. 31 at Paris Las Vegas (within the foot of the legendary Eiffel Tower) and Flamingo Las Vegas, two of the most iconic resorts on The Strip. To celebrate these openings, both shops will launch with a special menu – The Icons Series – highlighting a standout variety of Salt & Straw’s most iconic flavors created by co-founder and head ice cream maker Tyler Malek. Guests can ring in the new year by indulging in this flavor series, which has been curated for The Strip’s new scoop shops.
Founded by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek, Salt & Straw has redefined what ice cream can be, transforming each scoop into a storytelling experience. From fan-favorite classics like Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons and Double Fold Vanilla to wildly inventive originals like Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, every flavor is crafted to ignite curiosity and spark joy. In addition to its core menu, Salt & Straw is known for its monthly rotating flavors, each built around an original theme – whether it’s spotlighting local farmers and artisans, honoring cultural traditions or exploring big ideas through unexpected ingredients. In Las Vegas, guests can expect the full Salt & Straw experience: thoughtful flavors, boundless creativity and a chance to connect over a one-of-a-kind culinary experience.
“Bringing Salt & Straw to the Las Vegas Strip is a dream realized,” says Co-Founder and CEO Kim Malek. “We started this company to build places where people could come together, connect and celebrate life over a scoop of unforgettable ice cream. To now open beneath the Eiffel Tower replica at Paris Las Vegas and the neon lights at Flamingo Las Vegas – it’s hard to imagine two better locations to debut on The Strip. This is where people from around the world gather for iconic, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we’re honored to be part of that.”
“Salt & Straw brings a creative, fresh take on ice cream that fits perfectly with our culinary collection at Caesars Entertainment,” said Sean McBurney, Chief Commercial Officer and Regional President of Caesars Entertainment. “They’re a destination in their own right, and we’re excited for locals and visitors to enjoy their inventive flavors at our two new locations on The Strip.”
Head ice cream maker and co-founder Tyler Malek has created a menu of 13 classic, always-available flavors, including Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, Honey Lavender, Arbequina Olive Oil and Chocolate Gooey Brownie. Salt & Straw also offers monthly rotating menus that tell the stories of artisans, farmers and seasonal food moments.
To mark Salt & Straw’s debut on the Las Vegas Strip, Tyler has crafted The Icons Series – curating a selection of his most beloved and iconic flavors that are fit for celebrations of all kinds. The series includes:
