I thought it was so cute! When we went, Coca-Cola had an area on the roof where you can take photos and get spiked coke floats and make your own ornaments (free). The ice wasn't as smooth but it was enough to skate around and there are many staff to regulate the rink. They have regularly scheduled cleaning times to keep the ice smooth and clean. My girlfriends and I got a fire pit but there are other high-tops to sit and eat/drink at near the rink. They had about 8 different cocktails, we were so tempted to try them all but they were pretty pricey. It was on par with any other Vegas bar though. I would definitely come again! It was so much fun! It's all ages so the whole family can come and enjoy!

Also, I don't really know how to ice skate. I've wobbled my way about a couple times my entire life so it's a process, haha, and what are we if not eternally learning something new? Anyway, they don't explain much to you. We paid online for the 5-8 pm slot, and yet we still had to wait in a sizable line to get the QR codes scanned and then another line just to confirm with them we signed our waiver. They didn't inform us where we acquire skates so we had to look around for a bit to find them. Once we found the skates, we discovered they are located by the "exit" of the rink so we had to wobble our way on skates to the other side to enter the rink. Pretty inefficient. On the ice, I gripped the side to get my "ice legs" and made slow and steady progress around. But here's where it gets a little weirder. All those on the staff kept yelling at us repeatedly to keep moving... Even as we were moving. I mean, I may not have been gliding quickly - after all, I was gripping the rail - but I still made progress around. So why are they literally yelling at us? Then another time, I was holding hands with my husband as I moved away from the rail for a bit since staff were doing some maintenance in a particular spot, and a kid burst through us with his skating helper whatever-it's-called and I was sent almost flying, couldn't easily regain my balance without the rail, and was clearly trying to balance as I flailed my arms and prevent myself falling. The woman on the staff, right next to me as she was part of the ice maintenence of that section (blocking said rail), screamed in my face to keep moving. It was utterly ridiculous, rude, and just put a damper on the experience, particularly as it costs $90+ for two people, including parking. (Side note: I didn't fall! Yay!) It also started to get a bit crowded - they weren't at capacity, but that number seems a bit off. We were already having trouble navigating around people at about 180. And capacity is around 300? No way. And if they're going to constantly yell at kids and adults alike who are learning or just not fast, esp when it comes to navigating crowds, that's ridiculously poor treatment. Not to mention there are no lockers for belongings and no warning via site or anywhere ahead of time that you can't have anything on the ice so you bring your stuff and have to just... abandon it somewhere hoping it doesn't get stolen? What? Not going back - Downtown Summerlin is much more pleasant of an experience.

Like the old school three wait staff per table. There is a beverage staff, hostess and a food service personnel. Then, you are interacting with your main server.

Pathetic, I know, but this girl never learned how to roller skate so I was like a fish outta water. As I clung to my husband and the the edges of the rink for support and stability, I still found myself having an amazingly good time at Down & Derby Roller Skating Disco. This Roller Skating Disco is held at Gold Spike every third Wednesday of the month. There is no cover and roller skate rentals are free. All you have to do is sign a waiver and hand over your ID in exchange for some skates. It's basically FREE fun. Roller disco attire is encouraged, and plenty of people took this to heart. People-watching kept me plenty occupied. The music was surprisingly good. The outdoor DJ mostly played 90s hip-hop like Easy-E's "Cruisin' down the street in my '64" and Biggie Small's "Hypnotize". Got me right in the nostalgic feels. Roller Disco starts at 9PM - this is not the time to show up fashionably late. The line to get skates gets insane by 10:30PM. We arrived at 9:20 and only had two people in front of us. :) Alcohol prices are average for downtown. Bartenders give all alcohol out in plastic cups with a cap and straw for your skating convenience. A small sized draft beer was $4.50. One of my friends said they paid $8-9 for a simple cocktail. All in all, Gold Spike's Down & Derby Roller Skating Disco is as good as it gets! Even better if you legit know how to roller skate lol. It doesn't get any better for a cheap, fun night out on the town on a Wednesday night. YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #242

I'm not sure how I feel about giving it three stars but that's what I'm going to give it. I think…read moresince I understood how it worked it was easy to follow. If you don't understand how a bout works you may have a little trouble. What I liked about it was the enthusiasm from the crowd and a couple of times the rowdiness of the skaters. There was a lot of lulls and not a lot of action so that makes it hard to want to pay attention to. What I didn't like was it was kind of hard to see especially if you were sitting down in the rows of chairs...so I actually chose to sit on the floor right in front of the rink which I wasn't crazy about. They play music the whole time which is cool but then the announcers try to talk and give you updates on the game and it's really hard to hear or understand what's actually being said. They serve beer drinks and even snacks but my suggestion is eat or get drunk before you go because they charge an arm and a leg inside the ballroom. You can't bring outside food or drinks in so if you go to the casino you can get a beer for two dollars Or stay in the ballroom and pay 7 to 10. It's not rocket science. I'll have to say it is fun to meet up with some friends hang out laugh and talk while watching something sort out on the side. It was their last bout at the Riviera as we all know it's going to be torn down so that was kind of cool in a little nostalgic. Hopefully the skaters will find a new venue to continue their tradition.

Ruthless. Competitive. Sexy…read more Sin City Rollergirls are cool, they are feisty and their matches are totally worth watching! If you were ever lucky enough to catch RollerGames (1989-1990) on late night TV (as I did as a preteen), you know exactly what this game is all about and you can easily get hooked! On Saturday, April 25th, the Husband and I experienced our first real live roller derby match at the Las Vegas Roller Hockey Rink. It's located in the corner of the Commercial Center and can easily be missed, but it's there! Doors opened at 7 pm and the bout begins at 8 pm. You can choose to sit inside the rink on folding chairs, along the side on the floor, or safely behind the glass. Seats are up close and personal and they do promise the possibility of having a rollergirl in your lap! After the game, you can get autographs from your favorite players too! (There's a snack bar available too.) If you don't understand the game, they give out a handy little program with all the details, but the MC will also explain the game as it goes on. There's even a mini duel right at the beginning to give you a visual of what's about to happen. That evening, they played against the Arizona Roller Derby Tent City Terrors. Sure, we lost but it was a very exciting game and you never really knew who was going to win! Advanced tickets are $7 (although we tried purchasing such tickets the night before, but no luck), and $10 at the door. Kids under 10 and EMTs are free! This is definitely an athletic and family-friendly event, although a few of the players' names may be a bit suggestive. It looks like they have two local teams - The Notorious VIPs and the Tommy Gun Terrors. But when they play against another city, they combine into the Sin City Rollergirls. (Correct me if I'm wrong please!) The team colors of the Sin City Rollergirls are orange and black. We're definitely looking forward to catching at least one more game before their season ends!

Total…read morebeginner here and learned about this through work for our corporate challenge games which is competition between companies in all sports. CurlVegas is awesome and offers a cool way to stay active and have fun. The four sheets of ice are Olympic size. Within the ice are dice and also card images as markers as an ode to the Las Vegas theme which I loved. They provide the grips for your shoes and no extra special equipment was needed for lessons. Warm clothes and no shorts were recommended for the ice, similar to ice skating clothing. I wore clean tennis shoes that provided grips went on, sweats, hoodie, and had hot packs since my hands get cold but honestly you don't need them but nice to have. I took the Saturday "Learn to Curl" lessons which was 1.5 hours. The lessons began with a thorough briefing and starts with practicing the lunging at the start with the curling stone for the proper sliding form, then the fine art of stressful quick sweeping, then concluded with a mini practice game with the other lesson attendees. In an hour and half, I leaned so much about curling and got to put my new skills to the test. Brad was our instructor for our group of 4 and was super thorough and helpful in making sure we knew the aspects of the game. We had a rock solid experience thanks to his expert instruction! Curling is definitely for all ages and abilities, and I highly recommend for a team experience or birthday event with friends! I might not be Olympic ready but once I got my stones under me it was smoooooth curling. Hoping for top 3 in the corporate challenge curling games!!!
