Oasis Ice Rink reopens at Fontainebleau Las Vegas from November 19 to January 17, offering real ice skating, firepit rentals, cabanas, and weekly holiday movie nights on the Strip’s largest rink.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas is doubling down on its winter entertainment lineup by bringing back Oasis Ice Rink, the Strip’s only real ice skating venue, for the 2026 holiday season. The rink will operate from November 19 through January 17, transforming the resort’s third-floor Oasis Pool Deck into a seasonal destination for locals and visitors seeking a break from the desert’s usual routine.
Entry to the Oasis Ice Rink is free, but skating comes with a price tag: Nevada locals can access select dates and late-night sessions starting at $15 plus taxes and fees, while standard skate fees begin at $30. Firepit rentals start at $200 for groups up to six, with premium and king cabana options scaling up to $600 for larger parties. For those planning ahead, Fontainebleau is offering a 10% discount on food and beverage minimums for holiday party bookings made by October 16, with skate rental included in the package.
What Sets Oasis Ice Rink Apart
Unlike pop-up rinks that rely on synthetic surfaces, Oasis Ice Rink delivers a genuine ice experience in the heart of the Strip. The venue is designed for flexibility, accommodating everything from corporate buyouts to family reunions and birthday celebrations. Private cabanas, luxury fire pits, and a menu of seasonal bites and cocktails round out the offering, aiming to elevate the typical Las Vegas winter gathering.
Fontainebleau’s entertainment team, led by Senior VP Fedor Banuchi, is positioning the rink as a centerpiece of the resort’s holiday programming. According to Banuchi, the goal is to “raise the bar even higher for what a holiday celebration in Las Vegas can look like.” The rink’s daily hours run from 5 to 11 p.m., with extended hours—sometimes stretching to 2 a.m.—during peak holiday periods. Full details on hours and pricing are available on the resort’s official site.
Holiday Movie Nights and Special Events
Oasis Ice Rink isn’t just about skating. Every Tuesday, the venue hosts rink-side holiday movie screenings at 5 and 8 p.m., with a lineup that includes “How to Train Your Dragon” (2025), “Elf,” “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000), “Polar Express,” “A Christmas Story” (1983), and “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.” These screenings add a family-friendly layer to the rink’s appeal, drawing both locals and tourists looking for a seasonal escape.
Firepit and cabana rentals are expected to be in high demand, especially on weekends and during movie nights. The resort’s approach mirrors the kind of event-driven programming that has become a staple for Las Vegas venues, as seen in other entertainment offerings reported earlier this year.
Parking, Access, and Local Perks
Fontainebleau Las Vegas remains the only Strip property offering valet validation for guests dining, shopping, visiting the Hall of Excellence, skating at Oasis Ice Rink, or enjoying Lapis Spa & Wellness. Locals and Fontainebleau Rewards members also benefit from free parking, a rare advantage on the Strip where parking fees have become the norm.
For those interested in booking a holiday party or reserving a firepit, the resort directs inquiries to its events team via email. The combination of real ice, flexible event space, and Strip-front access positions Oasis Ice Rink as a practical alternative to the city’s usual holiday attractions.
Fontainebleau’s decision to invest in a large-scale seasonal rink—complete with movie nights and premium amenities—signals a calculated move to capture both local and tourist holiday traffic. While the Strip is saturated with entertainment options, few venues offer a genuine winter experience in the desert. The resort’s willingness to bundle perks like free parking and discounted party packages suggests a recognition that Las Vegas visitors are increasingly value-conscious, even when seeking novelty. In a city where every square foot is monetized, Fontainebleau is betting that a real ice rink, paired with smart incentives, will carve out its own loyal following this holiday season.
