    Daiquiri flavors
    Lisa T.

    We did not actually go in the ICEBAR, (been there done that.). But we couldn't resist the $5 frozen daiquiri where you get to choose the flavor and liquor, (rum, vodka, or tequila.). There were so many flavors; plus you could combine them! We settled on a strawberry-coconut rum daiquiri. It was really sweet and so cold! I had quite the brain freeze! There are so many daiquiri bars on The Strip; but this is the only one with the $5 daiquiris. There wasn't much of a wait and the staff was friendly too! This was a great deal; and would be even better on a hot summer day!

    This was my first time going to an ice bar experience. Overall, it was cool being in a bar made of ice down to the cups you drink out of. Here's a quick rundown: - You pay for your level of experience you would want. We opted for the $49 package since it included two drinks. They'll give you two cards as your drink vouchers to give to the bartender inside. Note: We were able to drink one inside and we had the option to drink the second one from the options at the entrance. - Once you pay, you are given a coat and gloves before entering. Fur coats are an additional fee. We stuck to the normal coats. - Then you get your gloves, you have one free photo included at the photo booth, and you can enter the ice bar. - Once you're in you can get your drinks and enjoy the space. Note: you use the same ice cup for all your drinks. Don't leave it lol. Overall, I enjoyed the ice sculptures, the bartender and the woman working the register were amazing! They helped us out and walked us through the whole experience. The lady who gave us our coats and gloves was rude and rushed us. Hence the 1 star drop from 5/5 stars.

    Pricey but a fun experience with my niece who just turned 21. More fun than just going to a regular bar and drinking in the middle of the afternoon. I bet it's super popular when it's hot out. Or with those of us who are missing our cold plunge at home! Two birds, one stone!

    We made it to the ice bar!! Team Travis still on the Champagne campaign 12 years and counting!!

    Another wonderful whimsical night!! First time I went with the hubby like over 10 years ago. This time I went with my cheer mom crew!! Both times the staff were AMAZING. Of course had a blast wearing the faux fur and sipping out of my ice glass. I had the Polar Express and I definitely recommend it. I suggest you wear pants some of my mamas had on dresses and or skirts. But I will say the staff gave them an extra Parker to help with the their legs. Which was really sweet. There are great phot ops and god music playing so you just had a great chill time!!

    I love ice bars! minus5 is a fun spot for the gram but definitely pricy for what it is. Pro tip: check on Groupon to see if they have discounted tickets for entry before coming minus5 Icebar has three locations on the strip. This location is in the Mandalay Bay shops between the Mandalay Bay and Luxor and was super easy to find. I bought tickets on Groupon beforehand for the Cool Experience, which gets you entry into the ice bar + parka. It was ~$12 pp on Groupon vs $24 if you buy at the door, so definitely check Groupon before going. There's a little bit more work required, since you have to use your Groupon promo code to buy tickets on the minus5 Icebar website for your desired date/time slot, but it's worth it imo! My friend and I came Thursday night around 10 pm and it was pretty empty, with only 2 other people there to celebrate a birthday. If you're planning to get 2 alcoholic drinks (by yourself or shared with a friend), it's worth it to upgrade to the Coolest Experience for an extra $25. There aren't any prices on the cocktail menu, but we were charged $16 for one alcoholic drink, so it's better to get 2 drinks for $25 instead of paying $32 at the bar for 2 drinks. We were asked if we wanted to upgrade when we checked in but declined, as I was planning to get a mocktail. Check-in is easy. They provide parkas and gloves. I also recommend wearing pants and closed toed shoes if possible, otherwise you'll freeze inside pretty quickly even with the parka. The ice decor inside is varied but seems to be primarily ocean/marine themed. There was a boat area, Poseidon, waves, and various marine animals. There were also other fun themes like a phoenix area with flames and an old school gaming wall with Pacman and Tetris. Don't expect a lot from the drinks here. While it's cool that they're served in an ice glass, that means the portions are tiny. A couple sips and you're done. Also, the specialty cocktails are pretty basic with just alcohol + juice mixed in. My friend got one of their cocktails for $16, and I went with a mocktail for $8. Both were okay, but clearly the drinks are not the priority here. We spent maybe 30 minutes here, a lot of which was spent taking pictures in the various areas, before we got too cold and decided to leave. Would definitely recommend minus5 Icebar if you're looking for a fun ice bar experience!

    We bought tickets for Ghost Stories by Kent Axell that is performed at the 1923 Proabition Speakeasy next door in the Mandalay Bay Casino and Hotel. With our tickets we also got the opportunity to visit the Minus 5 Ice Bar with a drink. Overall, this was a very interesting experience with a number of fun and amazing ice sculptures and displays. Staff is very friendly here and we had a good time.

    I had a great experience here at the bar! It is definitely a must go if you're in Las Vegas. Bring warm clothing if you decide to go, it's very chilly. We only lasted about 20 minutes because of how chilly it was. The drinks were ok, not amazing but understandable you come here for the whole experiences and selfies and not really for the drinks! But overall very memorable!

    Great drinks, great service. Come immediately!! Sincerely bachelor party bros!! Emma, Jill, and Gabby were amazing ty tysm. Cheers!

    We didn't offer food. But we knew that we weren't going there for food. The drinks were amazing. The bartender was awesome and she walked us through everything. The kids got the coolest mocktail that they really really liked. The ambience was amazing. This was truly a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it to anybody who is in Las Vegas. Everyone was so kind and so helpful with getting us through and walking us through the rules in the process. It was cool getting a drink in the ice bar and sitting in there and drinking it. I would absolutely pay to go back and do this again. The adults and the kids liked it.

    This is a nice inexpensive experience in Vegas specially if you book through Groupon. There are several locations to Vegas. We checked this one out, every location varies with different sculptures. It was great escaping the Vegas heat in August. In Groupon, you pay the entrance and when you arrive on location, they offer you a drink package. I bought two drink packages, not worth it. In my opinion the drinks are mediocre.

    Amazing experience. Really cool to see all the sculptures. Loved the drinks deli # #buzzybooth

    We had such an amazing experience! Kate was an amazing bartender and we loved chit chatting with her. We played tic-tac-toe and aced the scavenger hunt while enjoying the ice sculptures and ambience. Can't wait for our next visit!

The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a more intimate, sophisticated feel compared to larger Las Vegas clubs. It's a great option if you're looking for something stylish with a strong music and ambiance focus. The overall vibe is smooth and elevated -- great music, well-dressed crowd, and an atmosphere that feels exclusive without being overwhelming. One thing worth noting is the camera policy. The venue emphasizes a no-camera experience, which I understand is meant to maintain privacy and keep the focus on the moment. However, I did notice a few cameras out and about during the night, which made the policy feel a bit inconsistent. Not a major issue, but something that stood out.

The Pinky Room is a jazz/live band club located in the heart of the Bellagio - closer to the exit towards the Caesar's Palace walkway. We waited in line on a Saturday evening right when this opened. We were told that this was the second anniversary of the Pink Room, so it was reportedly abnormally busy with us having to wait about an hour and 10 minutes before getting in. There was no cover charge, but there is a bouncer checking over your outfit. We weren't told exactly what wasn't allowed but supposedly they will check (saw a lot of the bouncers looking at shoes in particular). Once you are in, you got a stamp in case you need to step out to grab food or go to the restroom which is not in the club. The bar is set to the far side of the club with the bar area and dance floor set for general attendees. Most of the area though is for reserved tables that require higher drink minimums. The bar at the beginning of the night was easy to get to but once the band came on, it was a tough battle getting a drink as a regular attendee since most of the patrons were really squished in that area trying to watch the band. The band itself that we saw was great with reportedly Bruno's brother on the drums. It was a fun time and the acoustics were pretty good. The mocktail I had also wasn't bad with drink prices being normal Vegas Strip pricing. Again, love the concept and love live bands. Just think this venue is super squished and doesn't make as much sense for a normal patron versus having a table.
