Glide across 4,200 square feet of real ice as the world-famous skyline shines around you — a setting made for romantic date nights, family fun, and picture-perfect memories.
Warm up with seasonal treats like hot cocoa, spiked ciders, and festive bites — a perfect reward after a few laps around the rink. And when you’re ready to take a break, sink into the magic by the fire pits, roast s’mores, and take in the winter glow from above.
It’s a holiday atmosphere unlike anything else in Las Vegas — park-like charm combined with bold Vegas sparkle. Light snowfall drifts down throughout the evening, turning every skate session into a snow globe fantasy.
Snow Showers

Whether you’re skating hand-in-hand or sipping cocktails on the sidelines, those magical snowy moments make the night unforgettable. It’s also a perfect Instagram opportunity — snow flurries with the Strip in the background? Iconic.
