Putting a festive spin on traditional holiday fun, Lake Las Vegas Resort opens their Rockefeller-style ice rink on Nov 16-Feb 17 for the whole family to enjoy.


For the fourth year, Lake Las Vegas will turn the resort into a chilly winter wonderland for all skaters to enjoy.  The ice rink floats on the 320-acre lake, off the shore of MonteLago Village and is open to skaters of all ages. It uses 110, five gallon buckets of water and 12,000-pound chiller units to help keep the ice cold, and can accommodate up to 60 skaters at one time. 


In addition to whirling and twirling, skaters can glide through some of the village's diverse boutiques, play a round of golf, or just sit back and enjoy the holiday scenery. Decorated for the holiday season, Lake Las Vegas is the perfect place to enjoy a crisp winter landscape in the middle of the desert. As the ice rink freezes, stay warm with other activities at Lake Las Vegas Resort, featuring a ceremonial tree lighting, appearance by Santa Claus and a special musical performance by Green Valley High School Choir and Helen Joy Choir on Friday, Nov. 16.


Marketing Director Cary Krukowski says, "Every year we love to create an environment that brings families closer together, builds festive traditions and allows us to be part of their holiday memories."


The Lake Las Vegas ice rink will open on November 16 at 8:00 p.m. and will run through February 17, at 9:00 p.m. (these hours are subject to change due to weather conditions).  The cost is $15 per person, $12 for children 12 years of age and under. Groups of 20 or more are $8 and season passes are also available for $125, which includes the cost of skate rentals. The rink will be in operation November 16- February 17 on from noon-9:00 p.m.
