    Future practice rink of the AHL Henderson Silver Knights.
    Louisa M.

    Went down to Henderson to check out the brand new practice facility for the Valley's new AHL team, the Henderson Silver Knights. The Arena is open for business, but it's not yet completed. There is a mess of construction on the exterior of the building, but the public is welcome to go inside to shop at the team store or rent skates if you want to go ice skating. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and there were probably a dozen or so people skating. There's free parking (as of now) behind the arena. It's tricky because you go through a mostly unmarked door, then walk down behind-the-scenes corridors with dressing rooms and offices. Be careful, because the floor is wet and slippery from the ice making machines and melting ice. I'm sure the official entrance will be in the front once the place opens for real. The facility is laid out like City National Arena (CNA) in Summerlin, except parking is in the rear and the team store is to the left of the main entrance instead of the right. I know fans are going to hate me for saying it, but everything about the construction here feels cheap. It's true. It's very boring and stark inside, and there are mostly Vegas Golden Knights logos everywhere -- I thought this was the SILVER KNIGHTS facility! (To be fair, some of the VGK logos are for the Jr. Knights). The front desk is really corny looking with a fake stone backdrop, and the restrooms are so plain and sad. I think corners were cut to save money here, and it shows. There are two rinks just like at CNA, with backless spectator benches / bleachers at each. I wish they had put in real seats. The Livery team store is very small too. They sell VGK and HSK merchandise, but note that only HSK season ticket holders can get a discount here (NOT VGK season ticket holders). I am fortunate enough to have season tickets to both teams, so it works out. There's a good variety of merchandise, including the new VGK gold jerseys and HSK home and away jerseys. Due to COVID, the dressing room is closed so you can't try anything on. That's a dealbreaker for me when you're talking about a $150 jersey. Also, the jerseys are NOT personalized with player names and numbers, they're plain -- although I hope they offer personalization (it was unclear). If they can make more money, I'm sure they'll sell it to you. A restaurant and other things are coming, but aren't done yet. The outdoor spaces are nonexistent. But if you want to be among the first to check the place out, it's open for business.

    While looking for a specific VGK players jersey I headed to CNA only to find they were sold out with a 6-8 week wait. I decided to go back to the livery with much hesitation, I'm so glad I did! I found the specific jersey along with a very helpful and friendly employee. I'm updating my review to reflect my recent March 2021 purchase/visit. The livery offers a multitude of items both HSK & VGK! If you live in Henderson it's definitely worth the trip before heading to Summerlin.

    This place is quite a gem. Lots of hockey action from all different levels, including the Henderson Silver Knights. Check it out!

    I just went to my 35th high school reunion at Lifeguard Arena! (Basic High School- Class of 1987!) I highly recommend this venue! It was extremely clean, everyone was professional, and, it was a lot of fun!! Thank you!!

    This is a very very nice new rink I had a great experience playing at this rink last Weekend. The locker rooms were an adequate size and my team had enough room to run dryland inside so we didn't have to be in the heat. The ice was a little soft when skating on it at first but by the end of the weekend it was harder and I could bite into it more with my skates.

    Our family visited around 6pm on a Monday (December 22nd) and it was PACKED! At the entry area, we…read morewere informed that they closed the current skate session and wouldn't be accepting new skaters until their next skate session around 8pm. Seeing how packed the ice rink was, that was a very good call. The ice rink advertised that max capacity holds 300 bodies and their counter stated they were only at 167 bodies capacity. We watched people attempt to skate around with little ability to move around. There were many children on the rink with those plastic animal gliders that help keep their balance which proved to be in the way of many other skaters who wished to pass or move more freely. The ice itself was also VERY choppy and tore up. Aside from the ice rink, there are areas and tables that you can sit and enjoy a hot cocoa or other drinks from the bar. Some areas were privately reserved cabanas and fire pits that you can roast smores at. Photo opportunities with Santa for $45 was also offered. In all, it was a fun and festive space to enjoy some Christmas cheer and just hang out and relax with loved ones, but I am glad we didn't pay for skate rentals ($30/person) because I would have been disappointed with the ice rink and experience undoubtedly. We do appreciate that they offer Nevada locals limited time/days deals on ice skating fees, special drinks, and free parking, though (just check the Fontaine Bleau website).

    TLDR: Not worth the cost; super disorganized, and poor customer service…read more I was so excited to give this spot a shot to truly soak in the festive spirit. 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.

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!

They gave us great pointers and made the game easy to understand while sharing their own knowledge and love for curling.
