LAS VEGAS (March 2025) – Minus5º ICEBAR at Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas will unveil a new Blue Chair Bay® Rum-themed ice experience, inspired by country music artist Kenny Chesney’s island lifestyle and Blue Chair Bay® Rum. Slated to launch in conjunction with Chesney’s upcoming residency at Sphere Las Vegas, the new installation will transform the venue into a frozen tropical escape, complete with Adirondack chairs, frozen palm trees, ice-carved rolling waves and a hidden speakeasy.
A team of world-class ice sculptors will construct the new experience over the course of a week, from Sunday, April 20, to Saturday, April 26. Master ice carvers include Dan “Hollywood” Rebholz, a two-time U.S. Olympic ice carving team competitor with more than 175 competition wins and multiple international titles; Chris Swarbrick, a veteran ice carver with 30 years of experience known for his innovative craftsmanship and artistic expertise; and Peter Slavin, a master sculptor with over 35 years of experience and five world championship titles.
New blocks of ice will be used in the construction, and each ice block will weigh 250 pounds, requiring four men to lift and hoist it into place. Prior to arriving in Las Vegas, the ice will be created through a special process that removes all air bubbles, resulting in the clearest ice possible.
Coinciding with the debut of the new ice display, Minus5º ICEBAR will also introduce a lineup of specialty cocktails featuring Blue Chair Bay® Rum, designed to complement the venue’s subzero environment.
“This is the most talented team of carvers we’ve ever assembled, and they’re creating something truly special for this build,” said Noel Bowman, partner, Minus5º ICEBAR. “We’re bringing the spirit of a relaxing beachside retreat to life in ice, in a way only Minus5º ICEBAR can deliver.”
The new construction represents part of Minus5º ICEBAR’s quarterly Staying COOL re-theming program to keep the experience fresh for guests.
Media interested in taking photos or videos of the new ice display are recommended to visit after April 23. Media must email Vanessa Thill at vanessa@thevoxagency.com and all photo and video shoots must be scheduled in advance.
