ATTRACTIONS
Degrees
of Cool
Las Vegas in July means
triple-digit temperatures,
double-digit SPF, and a single
goal: to cool off in style,
whether that’s inside,
outside, or somewhere
delightfully on the other side
of reality.
Inside is where the city
leans into climate control
with personality. Minus5
Ice Bar keeps things
sub-zero with ice-carved
interiors and frozen cocktails
at The Shoppes at Mandalay
Place, while Bellagio
Conservatory & Botanical
Gardens’ summer display
bursts with lush greenery,
vibrant blooms, and
larger-than-life botanical
sculptures, creating a cool,
garden-like oasis in the heart
of The Strip. For a more
immersive escape, FlyOver
Las Vegas whisks guests
over glaciers, icy fjords, and
snow-covered landscapes,
offering welcome scenes sans
sunshine.
Outside is where The Strip
shifts into its evening rhythm.
Bellagio Fountains set the
tone with synchronized
water, music, and an
unforgettable mist that drifts
across the walkway for a

reprieve from the city’s
sweltering sidewalks. Above
the LINQ Promenade, Fly
LINQ Zipline adds speed,
breeze, and panoramic views
to the night. If nightlife is
more your scene, head to
Encore Beach Club for a
night swim. Guests cool off
with a dip in the pool as DJs
and dazzling lights transform
the deck into one of the city’s
most electrifying after-dark
destinations.
Other side is where The
Strip turns experimental.
AREA15 becomes an
alternative reality of cool
experiences, where
immersive installations and
surprising discoveries
replace anything familiar. It’s
also one of the best places to
embrace the chill with a
sit-down meal, a crafted
cocktail, or an activity that
pulls you fully into another
world. Museum of Illusions
Las Vegas bends perception
with hands-on optical tricks
that turn reality into play.
Each space delivers an
air-conditioned shift in
experience, trading the
familiar for something far
more extraordinary.
