Minus 5 Ice Lounge Chills Out in the Desert Heat

by Heather on September 29th, 2008

Las Vegas has added yet another unique attraction to its list of must-sees: North America’s first ice lounge!

The 2,000 square foot Minus 5 Ice Lounge at the Mandalay Bay opened this week as the first permanent lounge made completely of ice in North America. Minus 5 has five other locations around the world in Sydney and Gold Coast, Australia; Auckland and Queensland, New Zealand; and Viseu, Portugal.

All the ice is carved and crafted by hand and machine, from the bar to the chandeliers to the drinking glasses. Minus 5 serves vodka-based cocktails or just vodka straight up.

This isn’t just any bar that you can walk into and kill a few hours, though: $30 will buy you 30 minutes and one drink and be forewarned - you have to wear a coat and gloves before you can enter (gear will be provided for you if you don’t usually carry it around in the 95 degree heat). The temps stay at a frigid 27 degrees Fahrenheit (which is approximately minus 5 degrees Celsius - get it?).
