So You Wanna Chill Out... Literally: How Much Does Vegas' Ice Bar Cost?
Las Vegas: the land of flashing lights, questionable life choices made after 2 am, and apparently, bars made entirely out of ice. Yes, you read that right. Forget overpriced cocktails with umbrellas in them, Vegas offers a downright frosty experience that's guaranteed to put a whole new meaning to "chilling out." But before you pack your parka and head straight for the Strip, there's one burning question: just how much does this icy wonderland set you back?

Breaking the Ice: The Minus5 Experience
There's only one ice bar in Las Vegas, whimsically (and conveniently) called the Minus5 Ice Experience. Think of it as a nightclub where the bouncer checks your body temperature instead of your ID. Here's the breakdown on what you can expect wallet-wise:
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
- The Cool Down: A basic entry package gets you a toasty (well, relatively) 40 minutes inside the ice bar, a complimentary parka to keep you from turning into a human popsicle, and one drink served in a glass made of ice. All this for a chill (pun intended) $30.
- Double Shot of Fun: Feeling fancy? For $40, you can snag the two-drink option, which basically means you get to stay even longer in the magical world of ice (because who wants to leave an ice palace after only 40 minutes?).
- Going for the Deep Freeze: For the truly adventurous souls (or those with a serious sweet tooth), there's a VIP package that includes priority entry, hors d'oeuvres, and unlimited cocktails. Price tag for this arctic all-you-can-drink extravaganza? A cool (or perhaps not so cool) $65.
Bonus Expenses: Keeping it Cool (Literally and Figuratively)
Remember, Vegas is Vegas, and there's always a chance of extra costs:
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
- Photos with the Frozen Furnishings: Let's face it, who goes to an ice bar and doesn't want photographic evidence? If you want to capture your icy adventure for posterity, be prepared to shell out some extra cash for a photo package.
- Souvenirs (That Aren't Melty): While you can't exactly pocket a chunk of the bar as a memento, the Minus5 Experience does offer some non-melty souvenirs to commemorate your visit. Just remember, fridge magnets are probably a safe bet here.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Freezing Questions
How to dress for the ice bar? Layers are your friend! Thermal underwear might be overkill, but comfortable clothes and a good attitude are key.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
How long does it take to walk through the ice bar? The basic package allows for 40 minutes, but it really depends on how quickly you explore the ice sculptures and down your drink.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.

Can I bring my kids? The Minus5 Experience is open to all ages, but children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. There's also a special "Cool Experience" package for the little ones that includes shorter entry times and non-alcoholic beverages.
How cold is it? The temperature inside the ice bar is a crisp (read: freezing) 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr!
Is it worth it? That depends on your tolerance for cold and your desire for a unique Vegas experience. If you're looking for something different and don't mind bundling up, the Minus5 Experience is a guaranteed conversation starter (and maybe a shiver inducer).
