As the first permanent ice lounge in the U.S., the Minus 5 Experience is a bar and lounge unlike any other. The entire 2,000-square-foot lounge, located at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, is skillfully crafted out of ice and offers cool martinis and cocktails that can be sipped from frozen glasses. Patrons are fully equipped with parkas, mittens and booties upon entry into the lounge, which is kept at a cool minus 5 degrees Celsius, or 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
