# minus5 ICEBAR – Unique Ice Bar Experience in Las Vegas, NV

minus5 ICEBAR, located at 101 Las Vegas Blvd S, Ste 101, Las Vegas, NV, offers a distinctive ice bar experience that attracts visitors seeking a cool escape from the desert heat. This venue features intricate ice sculptures and a unique atmosphere, making it a popular choice for both tourists and locals. Established with a vision to provide a one-of-a-kind experience, minus5 ICEBAR has become a must-visit spot on the Las Vegas Strip, particularly known for its fun photo opportunities and themed decor. Guests can enjoy a variety of drinks served in ice glasses, while the chilly environment adds to the overall novelty. Review highlights often mention the fun ambiance and the need for warm clothing, as the temperature inside is a brisk -5 degrees Fahrenheit.

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!

I had high hopes for Minus5 Bar, especially since it was my first time visiting and I had heard it was a must-do experience. We decided to go in celebration of my father-in-law's birthday, and our group included his sons and my husband--six of us total, and I was the only woman in the group. Unfortunately, the excitement quickly faded due to the disappointing attitude of the staff. From the moment we walked in, the woman at the counter who charged us was unfriendly and carried an air of indifference, almost as if we should feel lucky to be there. It was not the warm welcome one would hope for when trying to celebrate a special occasion. The woman who gave us our coats and escorted us into the bar also had a noticeably negative attitude. She made no effort to engage with us and seemed like she didn't want to be there, let alone interact with customers. Her demeanor was cold and unwelcoming, which really set the tone for the rest of the visit. The only highlight of our time there was the photographer, who was friendly and personable. She showed genuine enthusiasm and helped salvage the experience just a bit. Sadly, I would not return to this location or recommend it to family or friends. Management should seriously consider re-training staff on the importance of customer service and creating a welcoming environment for all--regardless of gender, background, or group dynamic. Guests have choices, and poor service leaves a lasting impression. We visited around June 19th or 20th, 2025, and I truly wish it had been the fun and memorable experience I was hoping for.

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 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.

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.

Alright so my mom and I couldn't make our trip original time but the manager was so kind they let us in for the next time frame. We were given a coat and fresh gloves, and a free picture so our $50pp price was worth it. IT WAS AWESOME! I had never been to anything like this before and it was not only a new experience but the bartenders were absolutely fantastic. The drinks were strong, and delicious, decor blew our minds and honestly for a Vegas local this was the first time I've been blown away since Wakuda opened. Love love love! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! @minus5icebar #minus5icebar #icebar #icebarlv #buzzybooth

Amazing drinks for an amazing price. Every bar is different and unique just like our bartender that served us. Vivian was very attentive and provided amazing service. Great way to escape the hot Vegas weather.

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.
