Minus 5 Ice Lounge Sculpts A Life-Sized Replica Of The “King Of The Jungle” In Honor Of the Lion King Show Debut

EVENT:  Minus 5 Ice Lounge’s expert carvers will sculpt 3,100 pounds of ice into a life-sized replica of a lion in honor of Mandalay Bay’s debut of Disney’s the Lion King. 

This unique event provides the public with a rare opportunity to see ice artists at work as they transform the block of ice into a lion.  Using a variety of different tools, including chainsaw, chisel, and blowtorch, this process will take approximately five hours to recreate the “king of beasts,” with the last hour open to the public.

NEWS PEG:  See the lion “come to life;” the action of professional ice carvers; on camera interview with the founder of the Minus 5 Ice Experience, the first permanent ice lounge in the United States.  During the carving, guests are invited to cool off from the scorching Vegas heat and enjoy an arctic adventure in an icy wonderland of intricately hand-crafted ice sculptures and architecture.  Upon entry, guests are promptly served an ice glass filled with exotic vodka-based cocktails.  Guests are encouraged to “chillax” on ice couches and enjoy what is literally the coolest lounge on the planet where the temperature is a constant -5 degrees Celsius (hence its name) or 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
