text: This is a review only on the macarons nothing elsennIm no expert when it comes to macarons in fact I have only had it once or twice before my experience with PayardnnDuring my visit to Las Vegas I have wanted to check out Payard because of the famed grandfather clock and I got that chance the day when I had to wait in line for the Bucchanal buffet at Caesars Palace It is a convenient location to be situated right across from the buffet My guess is they probably had an increase of business from the people who had enough of the wait for the buffet during holiday seasons I know I was temptednnWhich girl does not love sweets right Couple that with the famed grandfather clock that pops out free truffles which in itself is a masterpiece to marvel at and the outstanding reviews on yelp I have built myself quite an anticipation and expectation for PayardnnWhile I was waiting in line for the Bucchanal buffet my stomach started its daily protest and I thought to myself This is the perfect time to visit Payard and get myself those famed macarons So off I go to the dessert landnnAnd cannot be more disappointednnFirst of all the macarons were prepackaged inside a plastic bag and were put inside the fridge which seems like what a massproduction factory would do to packaging goods but was not attractive at all when it comes to what I assume is toptier patisseriennTheres no label telling you what flavors are inside so you will just have to depend on your palate or yelp review I assume the green one is pistachio and since a lot of the yelp reviews rave about this particular flavorI decided to start with this I tried sniffing it but did not smell any particular flavor other than something sweet Next tried biting and the top layer cracked while the inside remained chewy But still I did not taste anything remotely close to pistachionnThe macarons were small in size about two bites and I have finished one So it did not really help when I only have one of each flavor and each of them was so small that I could not distinguish any distinctive flavor for any of it except coffeennFor ten dollars a bag my conclusion was I was eating six sweet whatever thingy that was filled with food coloring and occasionally stuck to my gum if I took too big a bite I would rather pay the ten dollars at any bakery and have something that even though tasted too sweet at least gave me the wonderful aroma of something that came fresh out of the oven and what I could call comfort food
