The Ice Rink at The Cosmopolitan is a festive outdoor skating rink located on the Boulevard Pool deck of the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. Open during the winter months, typically from November through January, this rink offers a charming contrast to the desert city's usual glitz. Skaters glide under the glow of the Strip's neon lights while surrounded by cabanas and fire pits. The rink is smaller than a standard hockey rink but perfect for casual skating. What makes it distinctive is its integration with the hotel's holiday decorations, including a towering Christmas tree and seasonal music. Visitors can rent skates on-site and enjoy hot cocoa or cocktails from the adjacent bar. The experience is both romantic and family-friendly, with stunning views of the Las Vegas skyline. After skating, guests can explore the Cosmopolitan's restaurants and casino, making it a complete evening outing.
