Minus5 Lounge







Probable douche baggery aside I thought this club looked sort of cool in its uniqueness. My family is taking a vacation to Las Vegas and I want to try something new. Basically the club stays a chilly 23 degrees (-5 celsius) and EVERYTHING is made of ice.


From The Minus 5 Website

Everything's made of ice!

Everything inside minus5 is made of ice; the walls, the bar, the sculptures, the seats and even the glasses that you enjoy our famous vodka-based cocktails in. Our focus at minus5 is the art of ice. We have our own ice carver who changes the lounge and sculptures every 6-8 weeks, continually re-inventing the experience. Sculptures can reflect the season, location, wildlife, or even corporate logos and products for private functions. The possibilities are endless.


The minus5 Experience…

The minus5 ice guides are specially trained to the highest level to ensure that your visit to the Ice Lounge is safe and thoroughly enjoyable. Once commencing the tour, guests are kitted out in Eskimo-like ice gear which includes insulated jackets, gloves and sheepskin-lined boots. Ready to brave the cold in sub-Antarctic conditions, guests move into two chambers for briefings before arriving into the Ice lounge. Once inside the lounge, visitors are greeted with an icy wonderland of intricately hand-crafted ice sculptures and furniture.

Guests can explore the ice lounge and relax on ice couches covered in deer skin, and sip on a wide range of vodka cocktails using only the world’s premium vodkas, served in our custom-designed glasses made from NZ artesian water (guests are limited to 3 cocktails in any half hour period). Guests remain inside for 30 minutes during which a photographer, skilled in the art of “capturing the moment,” roams the lounge. It is one thing to experience something so cool; however it is something else to showcase that experience to friends and family. Printed photos await guests as they complete their tour and guests are given the opportunity to purchase anything from a minus5 pen to an Eskimo hat.
