Oasis Ice Rink Returns to Fontainebleau Las Vegas This Winter

Buyouts and What They Actually Cost

Fontainebleau is positioning this rink as a private event space as much as a public attraction, and the numbers back that up. A full or partial buyout works for birthday parties, corporate holiday events, family reunions — basically any group that wants the pool deck to itself rather than sharing ice time with the general public.

Book before Oct. 16 and you get 10% off the food and beverage minimum, plus skate rentals thrown in. After that window closes, standard pricing applies. Anyone interested in reserving a date needs to email lifestyleeventsinquiries@fblasvegas.com directly — there’s no online booking widget for this, it’s a direct inquiry process.

For groups that don’t need a full buyout, there’s a tiered system of fire pit rentals right at the rink. A standard fire pit runs $200 for up to six guests. Step up to a Premium Cabana Firepit and it's $400 for groups up to 10. The King Cabana Firepit tops out at $600 for groups up to 15 — a range worth comparing against what a similar holiday gathering would run you at a Strip nightclub or a private room at a restaurant.

Skating Costs and Who Gets the Break

General admission to the rink area is free — you don’t pay to walk in and watch. Skating is what costs money, and Fontainebleau built in a locals discount that’s easy to miss if you’re just skimming the press materials. Nevada residents pay a discounted rate starting at $15 plus taxes and fees, but only on select dates and during late-night sessions. Everyone else, and locals outside those discounted windows, pays the standard rate starting at $30 plus taxes and fees.

That’s double the price, so if you live here and you're planning a family night on the ice, check which dates qualify for the local rate before you book. The Oasis Ice Rink page on Fontainebleau's site is where that gets sorted out, since the exact discounted dates aren't spelled out in the general announcement.

Movie Nights on the Ice

Tuesdays get a specific programming treatment this season: holiday movies playing rinkside at 5 and 8 p.m. The lineup runs from late November through the end of December — “How to Train Your Dragon” (2025) on Nov. 24, “Elf” on Dec. 1, “Dr. Seuss‘ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000) on Dec. 8, “Polar Express” on Dec. 15, “A Christmas Story” (1983) on Dec. 22, and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” closing it out on Dec. 29.

It’s a decent option if you’ve got kids who'd rather watch a movie with a hot cocoa than strap on skates, and it gives the rink a reason to pull people back multiple weeks in a row instead of being a one-and-done stop.

Parking and Getting There

Fontainebleau is still the only hotel and casino on the Strip offering valet validation for guests who are dining, shopping, visiting the Hall of Excellence, hitting the ice rink, or getting a treatment at Lapis Spa & Wellness. That’s genuinely useful if you’re driving in from Henderson or Summerlin for an evening skate session and don’t want to eat a $20+ valet charge on top of skate rental fees.

Fontainebleau also offers free parking for Nevada locals and Fontainebleau Rewards members, which matters more here than it does at some other Strip properties given how aggressively parking fees have crept up across the corridor in recent years.

Fedor Banuchi, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, called the rink one of the property’s most anticipated holiday traditions and said the goal this year was bringing back what worked — the skating, the cabanas, the fire pits — while pushing the overall setup further.
