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!

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.

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!!

bar menu (no prices unfortunately)

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!

This place is so awesome!! Drinks are delicious and Jill is so sweet!! Love her!! We are always looking for a frozen cocktail bar and this place is it!

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!

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.

Comfy coats

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

Pricing options

Awesome experience but COLD AF! You literally walk into a freezer that is -5 degrees F. Before you go in, you have a couple options for additional clothing, gloves and head coverings - for a price. Once inside you can look around the -5 ICEBAR and take in the ice carvings and art displays. There are some interesting ways to take shots from the bar in risqué ice carvings, if that is your thing. Very friendly service from the bar tenders (how do they stay warm in here?!?!?!). Lots of cool photo op spots. Not sure if you can but I saw a few people smash their ice cups on the floor after they took their shot. They have furs on the ice seats but the cold still comes through. Tip1: 10% Military/Veteran discount available. Tip2: DO NOT set your ice cup down on the ice tables, they will slide right off onto the floor with your beverage! Saw this happen to a couple people whilst there.

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

Ice bar is AWESOME! Had family in town and took them over to the Ice bar in Mandalay Bay and had a 10/10 experience. Our bartenders Julia, Kylie and Paiton are some of the best in town! Very knowledgeable about the cocktails and made the experience even better! Packages are worth it and a great deal!

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

Sure, it is known; however, it was surprisingly not that busy for a Friday. We were seated at a shell like booth and this space between the back side of the Players Club and the Cash cage, is a lovely and elegant place. Is it expensive? yes. Most other fine establishments are also expensive in Vegas. It is what it has become. Is that good? Probably not; however, it does give you the opportunity to experience something unique and special. Although we had one server, the servers worked very well together throughout our 90 minutes here and really team assisted with each other. Between the two of us, we had three drinks. You can page through the very detailed menu, and I decided to have the Passion's Serenade drink, which was a glass partially frozen with a coconut and passionfruit puree and then also had some chocolate rum, vanilla and fresno chili. It was a delicious drink, and actually was a great "sit back and wait" drink, because it took a while for the frozen portion to melt. The experience comes with some complimentary bar snacks and then some complimentary mini jello shots on the way out. The check is presented in an exquisite "Vault" Type of book. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would return again in the future. Expect drink prices to range from about $30 to $70, with some even higher for the "market price" drinks.

Welcome complimentary drinks: "Key to my heart" -- fun little rum drinks to start off with served in a spherical black case surrounded by dry ice! (See video).

Cocktails: La Vie En Rose: (5/5) Rose infused gin, house made strawberry infused sweet vermouth, aperol, orange essence. Gorgeous spherical ice cube with a real flower frozen inside). Described as a summer Negroni. I chose it because I love Negronis and am always up for trying a variation on a classic like that. The Fountain (5/5): bourbon, Punt e mes vermouth (55 year old bottle!), orange essence. The Vault's take on the classic Manhattan. Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off! Little espresso shots at the end....mmm delectable dessert my bites to complete a flawless experience. We'll be back! Michael is a masterful mixologist and Yesi is an awesome apprentice!
