 | 	- This is an extremely strange and expensive bar in the Mandalay Bay mall.  You walk into the front of the store and choose a package which includes a jacket, gloves, boots and one drink for $25 each.  They also have a package which includes 2 drinks for $35 and a VIP package which includes a picture and some other useless stuff.  You also have the option to upgrade to a fur jacket.  After you dress up in your Eskimo suit, they lead you to the back into a 32 degree room and then into the room with the freezing bar.  The freezing bar room is very cold (5 degrees Fahrenheit).  It is very cold, but not miserably cold--at least not in the time it took me to finish one drink.  They seem to specialize in martinis so our entire group had various sorts of martinis served in ice glasses.  The drinks were very good and the bartender was very friendly and helpful.   Vodka choices included in our $25 package included Absolute, Stoli or some house brand.  They had many more premium vodkas to choose from, but they were all extra, so I stuck with Stoli.  The bartender works in that room for a full 8 hour shift and has for 2 years.  There is no time limit so you can take as long as you want to finish your drink.  Or you can order more because they leave your credit card open until you leave the bar area.  The bar room was decorated in ice with windows allowing you to look out into the mall at the regular people not in our igloo.  It is cool and strange and I would recommend it, but I probably would not do it again.  It's a unique experience, but not worth the money to do it twice.  Plus it's really cold and I don't think I could stand to be in there for two drinks.  Drinks-4 stars, Ambiance-5 stars, Service-4 stars, Value-1 star.
