Ice Skating In The Desert

The Casino and the Venetian casino-resort hotels will be bringing ice skating to the Las Vegas Strip starting this month.



The Cosmopolitan’s Boulevard Pool will be turned into an ice rink, offering skating from November 30 through January 20. The pool will be covered by a platform, which will be frozen for skating, to be surrounded by fire pits, picnic tables and Adirondack chairs. The skating rink will also feature a full bar featuring warm cocktails and snacks. Special programming includes a date night on Mondays featuring holiday movie scenes on the Cosmopolitan’s 65-foot digital screen. Wednesdays will have DJ-driven club music, while Thursdays feature retro skating to disco and other music of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. For those who want to just hang out and not skate, admission is free. The hotel will be offering an all-day pass of $10 for Nevada residents and $15 for non-residents. Those who do not want to bring their own skates may rent for $5 a pair.

The Venetian, on the other hand, will be offering 30-minute skating sessions beginning Sunday and continuing through January 6 on a synthetic ice rink adjacent to the outdoor gondola rides. Ice skating there will be on recyclable polymer which requires no electricity or refrigeration. The resort includes skate rental in its admission charge of $9.95 for locals and members of its Grazie rewards program. General admission is $14.95. Children ages 7-12 are free with an adult Grazie member or Nevada resident. The rink will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Skaters must be at least 7 years old. There is a limit of three children per adult.
