Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the only resort and casino in the U.S. to earn One Michelin Key two years in a row, is ringing in the holidays. On Wednesday, Nov. 18, Oasis Ice Rink, the Las Vegas Strip’s only real ice rink, opens for its third season with its biggest grand opening celebration yet.

Festivities kick off at 5 p.m. with Vegas Golden Knights emcee Mark Shunock leading the celebration and hockey content creator Swaggy P hosting a free trick shot clinic for young fans, followed by a 7 p.m. tree lighting by Stanley Cup champion and Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel and a drone show.

“Oasis Ice Rink has quickly become one of Las Vegas’ most-anticipated holiday traditions, and this year’s grand opening reflects our commitment to elevating the experience each season,” said FBLV Entertainment Senior VP Fedor Banuchi.

“Bringing together Jack Eichel, Swaggy P, Mark Shunock and the Vegas Golden Knights family for a free evening on the ice is our way of welcoming the entire community into the season. We look forward to hosting locals and visitors at the Strip’s only real ice rink and creating lasting holiday memories at FBLV.”

Admission on Nov. 18 is free, with complimentary skate rental and hot chocolate. The celebration is packed with holiday magic for all ages, including a holiday drone show, visit from Santa Claus, VGK mascots Chance and The Golden Knight appearances and photo opportunities and The Knight Line by Drumbots.

Swaggy P, one of hockey’s most popular content creators, has built a following among young players and hockey families with his trick shots and on-ice skills content. On opening night, he trades the screen for the rink to host a free trick shot clinic, giving aspiring sharp shooters a chance to learn his signature moves.

Once the tree is lit, the holiday cheer is just warming up. Through Jan. 4, Oasis Ice Rink anchors FBLV’s winter village, an escape where guests gather around fire pits, sip drinks, savor bites, watch performances, snap photos and enjoy movie nights under the stars. Oasis Ice Rink is the place to see and be seen for date, family and holiday outing nights.
