The Soiree d’Or at the Mix Lounge will be among the most chic New Year’s Eve parties in Vegas.

Oh, and if you’re interested in throwing back a few, there are delicious cocktails and a VIP bottle service.

Minus 5 Ice Bar

Minus5 Ice Bar in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This unique bar has a “cool” feel… literally. As in the couches are actually sculpted from ice. But don’t worry, you won’t freeze your bottom off when you sit on them–they’re covered in deerskin to help keep all couch-sitters cozy. In addition to the deerskin, warm yourself up by choosing from their signature ice-themed cocktail menu. Experiencing a New Year’s celebration inside a bar that is kept at -5 degrees has to be a little intriguing…just make sure to dress accordingly–bring a winter coat and gloves. There is a toast every hour beginning at 2pm, and the entry cost is $250 per person.
