FULL RINK DETAILS: The Ice Rink at The Cosmopolitan’s Boulevard Pool is about to bring a fresh type of cool to the Strip. Shall we say, Coolmopolitan? Opening Friday, Nov. 30, The Cosmopolitan transforms the iconic Boulevard Pool into a winter wonderland. In addition to spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip, you’ll get to enjoy skating on real ice, custom-designed fire pits, warm cocktails, s’mores and a lot more. The Ice Rink combines a playful, yet luxurious atmosphere, creating an original winter retreat. This unique experience allows you to enjoy the brisk outdoors amongst fire pits and picnic tables while you sample hot drinks and bites and skate on real ice with your pals. Who says you have to be in Aspen? The Boulevard Pool has also hosted numerous events, like movie screenings and nighttime concerts. One of my favorite nights from last summer was Aloe Blacc’s soulful set. While the warm, summer nights won’t be back for a while, I’m excited for all the winter festivities. The Ice Rink will offer “Date Skate Mondays,” where you and your date can enjoy a night out skating while holiday movies play on the hotel’s 65-foot digital marquee. And if you’re the dancing type, every Wednesday you’ll groove to live DJ-spun music. I like to call it nightlife on ice. And finally, “Throwback Thursdays” gives you the chance to pack your bright coats and leg warmers as you skate the night away to music from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. A full bar will also be available, including The Ice Rink’s signature cocktail, The Campfire Delight (seen at right), along with warm and savory food options. Last summer I enjoyed the spiked popsicles from Neapolitan Bar, so this will be a fun change-up! The Ice Rink will be open from Friday, Nov. 30 through Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013.
