This is the type of place you can say "yeah I've been there" and then never return to again. Despite the mixed reviews I have seen on here, I knew I wanted to check out Minus 5 at least once.
First of all, we had two coupons for two free shots. We gave them to the cashier and she never gave us our "free shot chips" to bring inside the freezer. So we had to ask another lady for them. This same lady asked us where we were from. We told her we were from Vegas and she said "Oh really? Did you get your locals' discount?" Ummm what? Even after having our NEVADA ID's checked at the front, we were not told anything about a local's discount.
The inside was fairly small, but it must be tricky/expensive to keep the place so cool. Everything was made of ice, including our glass.
There was an ice sculpture of a naked woman, which is where you get your shots. Actually you are supposed to take your shots out of her nipples. With everyone sucking on this ice sculpture's nipples we decided to skip our shots. Gross!
However the bartender and photographer were really cool. They were both really friendly. The bartender was even doing tricks with the bottles of alcohol.
It was a cool experience to do once, but not again.
