We taste-tested the best doughnut shops in Las Vegas

It’s a breakfast staple. It’s a favorite dessert. And, for one day only, it’s a national holiday.

Today marks National Doughnut Day.

To celebrate, the Review-Journal staff sampled glazed doughnuts from nine doughnut shops around Las Vegas.

The nine doughnut shops included Dee’s Donuts, Fractured Prune, Donut Mania, Dulce Donuts, Real Donuts, Ronald’s Donuts, Dunkin’ Donuts, Pinkbox Donuts and a doughnut from a gas station.

Pinkbox Donuts, 7531 W. Lake Mead Blvd #110 (multiple locations), took second place and had what three staffers described as a mild pleasant “popcorn butter” flavor.
