November 9, 2018: Brrrrrrr, it's getting chilly outside and with Christmas approching it's time to throw on those jackets, scarves and skates and hit the ice. Las Vegas has a growing ice skating scene and below are the best of the best we've got to offer....for now.
Fiesta Rancho Casino Hotel, with 100 hotel rooms and suites at the corner of Lake Mead Boulevard and Rancho Drive in Las Vegas, is a premier entertainment destination offering the only drive-through sports book in the area and SoBe Ice Arena, one of the only NHL regulation-sized rinks in Nevada. I stayed in the Rancho Fiesta in Vegas this week so I could skate on its ice rink. It's close to the facility where I was teaching. I didn't get on the ice 3/4 sheet. Public had no center marked. Kids with the big plastic frames all over the place. The hotel/casino was a bit of a smoke filled hole too. It was a very typical low rent. Hours may change, so it is suggested to visit lasvegasice.com or call 702-320-7777 for the most up-to-date times. The Fiesta Rancho’s SOBE Ice Arena, 2400 N. Rancho Drive, posts its public skate.
Ride the High Roller, the world largest Ferris wheel, at the LINQ Promenade. During December the promenade is outfitted with lights, decorations, holiday music, carolers, a 30 foot snowy hill made for tubing and an ice skating rink. Adventurous tubers will be able to ride down the hill in real snow with incredible festive scenery all around. High Roller brings riders 55 stories up, allowing everyone to view all of Las Vegas from a whole other perspective. A wonderful sight to see.

For the fifth year in a row, the Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas transforms into a winter wonderland high above Las Vegas Boulevard with the return of The Ice Rink on November 21, 2018. Engage in this popular winter activity on the strip! There are many holiday ice rinks that pop up as the weather gets colder, including Caesar's Chalet and the Ice Rink at the Cosmopolitan hotel. The one at the Cosmopolitan is extra special during the season because they transform their rooftop Boulevard Pool into a skating rink. In additional to gliding along the ice, guests can enjoy fire pits while making s'mores and warm cocktails. The Ice Rink is also guaranteed a real snow shower every 30 minutes. Adults and children alike will be sure to enjoy this winter extravaganza with everything you could want for your ultimate holiday escape.

I am an outdoor enthusiast who would rather be on a backcountry backpacking trip than a stroll on the beach (although I do love the beach!).
Living in Las Vegas has afforded me the opportunity to easily explore the Southwest region of the United States.
A nature lover, I am often found at the end of the pack taking photos and videos of the wildlife found on the trails. Colorful flowers, desert animals, and unusual geological rock formations are often the majority of my photos.
