Cookies On The Strip

This place is dope ASF to be honest with you. It's never a long wait and their $20 8th's are GAAAAAAAASSSS‼️‼️⛽ -Alpha

Zay was fantastic, answered all my questions and helped me find exactly what I wanted.

So this review really applies to both essence. I really have the same great experience from both venues I figure its time to embrace the online review era and I have to start with the dispensary that is the benchmark for every dispensary I go to. Because it was the best experience i ever had, after mediocre experiences. So as an ode to the greatest ill have them be my first review on Leafly. I have been going to essence since the beginning. Every time im in Vegas I always seem to regret if i stray away from Essence. I have experienced so many strains and have never been disappointed in their selection. I stick to extracts, distillates, and good flower mostly of the sativa variety. For which they never disappoint. Prices have always been some of the best, I always love hearing i have reward points every time i return. But lets start about the great. Great atmosphere, clean, friendly, knowledgeable staff. I know what you are thinking this is everywhere so what separates them. its the way it all flows so fluid, From the when you hit the door, show id, walk in wait and step, see the selection. Hear the recommendations and ultimately end up with products that never disappoint. its an experience where its never been rushed, never been hurried. They always have enough staff to take care of everyone. The vibes make you feel like you can enjoy the experience. The prices often beat other places i go to. Negatives They do run out of things that are popular, so when you go on peak times in vegas. This can get frustrating. The solution tends to be buy it while they got it. this isnt always the case, but again popularity and time of year play a large part. I know for some it can seem a little sketchy. Between the location. But i don't see it as a negative so much. Its a great spot. But i have had others comment they wish it was in a better spot. But personally im not sure where that would be. I mean "Its vegas baby". its not so much on them, but duds happen. They will usually offer solutions on unknowns. But i always am weary of the precharged/prefilled carts. I cant say that's on them. I do wish they'd stock more carts for batteries. But thats not a negative as much as personal preference. But who can complain about 10+ options every time. because every time i go here the experience is so fluid, so positive, in dozen of times stopping through. They have never let me down. For that they will always remain my number 1. Every one can be equal to, but ive yet to find a greater than. Thanks to all the people over the years that have made the experience so amazing.

The staff was very friendly but these prerolls are a joke. Some were bigger than the others, one wasn’t sealed so when I went to open it there was flower ask over the place and the cone not twisted or sealed at the end. These things are sealed so who knows what gets packaged in them before. I know when and if I ever come back up Vegas, I won’t be stopping at this dispensary!

When I landed I went to another place cuz it was my favorite but when I found out about this place I had to check it out. I told them I just wanted some prerolls and they showed me the ones on sale and they were fire. Got a Collins Ave and apples and bananas and they were legit. They didn't try to upsell and they were great at explaining the student strands. I will definitely go again. I went back the next and got another two.

Came in balling on a budget and they helped me get right. Flower and carts are straight.

If you have made it as far as reading this review then stop wasting time and get yourself on down to Essence! Also, I hope for you, Kala will be available to assist you during your visit(i'm confident anyone behind the counter will deliver great service) I was fortunate enough to receive the extraordinary attention, guidance and assistance from Kala!! I will admit this was my first visit to a dispensary(also my first trip to Las Vegas and if I could pack up and relocate there I'd be filling boxes instead of reviewing my great experiences). I was a bit embarrassed to admit that despite being a long time cannabis user I had yet to make that first legal purchase(my home state is still dragging their feet opening dispensaries) but i am so glad i shared that info with Kala. She took the time to explain everything i never even thought i could want to know, answered every question and gave her personal recommendations and I couldn't have been happier(well ok, maybe if instead of only having time enough left of my trip to enjoy a pre roll and some delicious edibles-cookies and cream cereal bar and strawberry banana gummies). The pre roll cone smelled and tasted just as she said it would, and it burned perfectly. So perfectly I know i'm going to crave cones moving forward!! So, ok, maybe I don't have other dispensary experiences to compare this visit to but i have devoted my professional life to being somewhat of a customer service ambassador, so I know great service when I receive it... and I also know their prices are absolutely on point fair and reasonable(my excitement for recreational coming to my home has led me to do some in depth research)! Since i'm already hard at work trying to plan my next trip to Las Vegas, one thing i'm certain of... whether i'm staying on the strip (5 stars to the Bellagio too) or not I have no need to try out a different dispensary, as far as i'm concerned Essence(across the street from the world's largest gift shop) is the ONLY choice for recreational cannabis in Las Vegas(plus they're open to 3am which was perfect! ). Thank you Essence... for great product, great pricing, GREAT staff! Thank you again, Kala, you were the BEST part of my whirlwind 48 hours in Vegas (I'd rather smoke my hard earned money away before watching the many slots get that much fatter)! You are awesome!! I intend to recommend you to EVERYONE I know traveling your way!

What an absolute joke of a dispensary. Security here is flexing just because they feel like they can and God forbid you enter this establishment with anyone you came with lest you spread the covid to eachother. Not to mention the fact that the second you actually enter the dispensary itself, they then tell you you can't be on your phone for some unknown reason. Avoid at all costs.

I am not from Vegas but I go there every year. The Essence on the strip is always fantastic, welcoming, with very knowledgeable and professional staff. Special shout-out to Ryan who was just fantastic last time I was there. See you again next year, bud!

Loved the service

Best dispensary in vegas no cap. Best prices, selection , and quality as far im concerned. Sign up with the text blast they do and you can see all the great daily deals they have.Also Nature is a awesome new addition to the budtenders, very kind, patient and knowledgeable.One small recommendation for the team, get rid of Old Pal, you guys have a great selection with out them and its trash weed.

To be honest I had a great experience a day ago so I come back the next day to buy the same thing and the guy doesn’t apply my 10 percent for being a med patient I realize when I get to the car soo I end up going back and talking to the front desk she ends up telling me he applied the discount when he didn’t. The total yesterday was $48, the total today was $60. I feel discriminated against and will never recommend anybody to this establishment

I just finished reading a review below where the person said they had ask their bus tender why the baby J's were so small and her reply was to go elsewhere or grow their own weed. There is no way my favorite bud tender on the strip Lil Bit said that. She has never been anything but nice and that's been even on my worst days. I have been picky and bitchy and still Lil Bit stayed friendly, helpful and professional. I'm so disappointed to see a reviewer say something like that about this awesome person. Reviewers please be honest even if you're having a bad day and they don't have something there that you were expecting. #fanofessence

Love almost everything about Essence. Of all locations I still believe the Henderson one is the best, however, W budtenders like LIL BIT at the Sahara location, an argument could be made. Despite being disappointed in the lack of deals and products that pulled me in in the first place, she did her best in keeping me happy simply by relating w my dilemma and showing genuine empathy. People like LIL BIT are what make people like me stay loyal

Very helpful and nice bud tender. We had the older lady and she was so awesome. We'll be back next time we are in Vegas!

Thank you Lil Bit & Essence... Unfortunately my twin has cancer. Thank you for all your positive vibes & great recommendations! You truly go above and beyond! Much Love

Zulema was so helpful. It was the best experience I've had so far at any dispensary.

for a out of state Patient sure was nice having my med card good in Nevada. Can't wait for my next trip to Vegas might be soon

Can’t wait to see it updated like the other locations!

neat little spot, weird check in set up for recreation but it works. got a free birthday pre roll and some gummies, staff seemed fun and helpful. hope the pre roll smokes better than one I got at a diffeent place.

I wish they would have $25.00 eighth's and not blended

Myself and my wife are extremely disappointed. We heard about Essence through a friend who said it was close to our hotel. The service per them was mediocre but again convenient. We were in Vegas for a few days last week. My wife had called just to ask some basic questions regarding their policies and procedures. Having never been able to purchase recreationally before we wanted to make sure we were prepared when we got there. We had the extreme displease of speaking with a Jenny on the phone. No matter what question we asked, she huffed at us and took a tone with us as if we were stupid. Because of the way my wife was talked to, she didn't even want to go to this store. However, I convinced her to go the following night. Big mistake. AGAIN we had the same displeasure of dealing with Jenny at check in. She was cold, not friendly, and seemingly annoyed with us for just being there.We asked her what information they kept in the system and why and her response was "Um because it's required if you want to go in back." As if we were suppose to know. Just to let you know if you werent aware, they take ALL of your info from your ID and still want your phone and email. JUST TO GO IN!For a one time visit on vacation it seems a bit much. She (Jenny) also seemed exceptionally annoyed that she had to stop a conversation with one of her coworkers to assist us! If Essence wants repeat customers maybe they should have people in the front who actually can give customer service. And don't believe their many positive reviews to get their rating, if you actually read through them its the same people writing reviews over and over and over again. We will definitely not be returning. Kenny in the back was great, but not enough to make up for the lack of customer service given to us twice by Jenny. She was more than enough for us not to return and absolutely will not be refering our friends!

No wait and great customer service. Alyssa was very knowledgeable and nice! Would recommend and return

favorite place hands down
