M&M'S World® Las Vegas Celebrates Opening Of World's Largest M&M'S® Candy Wall

MT. ARLINGTON, N.J., Dec. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Las Vegas strip is known for its visual attractions – and it's about to get one more, at least temporarily. M&M'S World^® Las Vegas is celebrating the recent opening of its breathtaking new candy wall – the largest M&M'S^® candy wall in the world – with a stunning 3-D representation of the wall designed on the sidewalk outside the store.

M&M'S World Las Vegas has partnered with the We Talk Chalk art group to create an other-worldly and magical three-dimensional chalk rendering of the larger-than-life candy wall. Fans can watch the artists bring the visual to life, as well as pose for pictures with the mural once complete.

As part of the growing M&M'S World Las Vegas store, fans now have an opportunity to explore the new candy wall that spans more than 62 feet wide and includes 125 tubes of colorful M&M'S, offering 22 varieties and 11 flavors.

"Las Vegas is known for doing everything over the top, and we took that to heart when we updated our candy wall," said Glen Tetreault, Director of Store Operations, Mars Retail Group. "In fact, if you stretched the Candy Wall vertically, it would stand more than five stories tall, which is even taller than our four-story M&M'S World store!"

M&M'S World stores are located in New York, Orlando, Las Vegas, Henderson (Nev.) and London, each packed with a huge range of exclusive M&M'S chocolates and merchandise, including clothing, kitchenware, bedding, jewelry, and glassware, as well as seasonal items and locally-themed M&M'S^® branded products.
