| - I LOVE the Minus 5 Ice Lounge at Mandalay Bay! I mean, it's nowhere near as awesome as Magic Ice in St. Thomas, but it works. Everything is made of ice, although the ice benches do have furs on them so you can sit down without getting wet.
It's PRICEY. On this occasion we lucked out into some free passes that included two drinks each, so how cool was that? The drinks are tasty and served in glasses made of ice. You keep "warm" by donning the parkas that come with admission, although don't be surprised to see some macho men in there in shorts trying to show how bad ass they are. ha!
The biggest bummer is that you can't take your cameras in hopes that you'll buy their expensive photos... not gonna happen, although my friends did fork out the cash on our first visit, so I got one anyway. Of course, the cold will fog up your cameras and phones, anyway, but it's still great to be able to get photos of a fun place like that.
One thing is that it's usually a fairly short visit unless you can afford $12 drinks just so you can freeze. We usually stay in there about 20 minutes or so. This visit the bartender was really friendly and nice and we had a great time chatting with him. It's such a tiny place that you also can get to know your fellow guests if a crowd shows up, but it's totally worth doing at least once. It's unique!
Just do it.
