Ice, Ice, Baby: The V-Ice-P Experience at Minus5 Ice Bar in Las Vegas

Looking for an experience in Las Vegas that's un-brrr-lievable? Then you definitely have to check out the V-Ice-P Experience at Minus5 Ice Bar! Those who know my history with slipping on ice and breaking my ankle may be surprised to know I actually LOVED being in a bar made of the stuff. But surprise ... it's SO. MUCH. FUN! I've gone to the Minus5 locations at both Mandalay Bay and Linq — read on for all the icy cold details!

About the V-Ice-P Experience

While there are multiple ticket options available, I think the V-Ice-P experience gives you the most bang for your buck. It costs $79, and includes the following:

  • Entry to the Minus5 Ice Bar
  • A pair of gloves to wear while you're inside (and you can keep them afterward!)
  • A faux fur coat to wear — you get your choice of black or white. I chose black both times, and legitimately felt so chic.
  • Two ice cocktails
  • A souvenir gift — When I went, I got to choose from four different hats!
  • A digital photo inside the experience

See? The V-Ice-P experience comes with so much. I really felt like I got my money's worth with this one, since I got to wear a fun fur coat and hat, and had two different drinks included in the price. Since cocktails can run around $20 apiece, that definitely worked in my favor.

The Photo Opportunities

Let's be serious — the most important part of this experience is the fun photos! I'm no stranger to Instagram popups — I've visited installations made of bubbles, illusions, and candy, just to name a few. Of course I'd want to take pics in a bar made of ice!

There are so many different spots to take photos within each of the ice bars. Need a pic with King Kong? Check! Feel like being an icy-cool DJ? Double check! Want to feel like king or queen for a day? Triple check! Seriously, I had a blast running around the room and snapping photos in my fur coat.

I also love that the V-Ice-P comes with commemorative photos. On both visits, we had so much fun snapping these! Depending on who's working that day, they might even give you extra photos when you leave (I had that happen on both visits!).

When to Go

I suggest going to Minus5 Ice Bar early in the day. Hey, it's Vegas — drinking can start whenever you feel like it! Both times that I went, I chose to go around 11:30am, which meant I had the place basically to myself. The ice bar can definitely get crowded, especially on weekends, so if you want your pick of places to sit and photos without people in them, going early is definitely better. 

You probably won’t want to stay more than an hour, since, let’s face it, it does get pretty cold in there. It's an ice bar, after all! 

Minus 5 Ice Bar is ice cold in the absolute best way. If you’re in Vegas, it’s definitely worth a slip! To book your experience, visit minus5experience.com.
