11 ways to celebrate ‘Barbie’ in style in Las Vegas

Updated July 21, 2023 - 11:21 am

You didn’t think Las Vegas would let a big, sparkly movie like “Barbie” come and go without cashing in on its good-time vibes, did you?

Here’s a roundup of “Barbie”-related special events around the valley:

— “Barbie” is taking over Circa for the weekend. Among the activations, the hotel tower is being illuminated in pink each night, Stadium Swim is honoring Barbie Land with its six pools, cabanas, daybeds and bottle service getting pink makeovers, and each of the property’s bars will serve pink specialty cocktails. The partnership lasts through Sunday.

Side Piece Pizza in Red Rock Resort has a limited-edition “BarbieQ” slice topped with barbecue chicken, red onions and ranch drizzle. It’s $6 for customers with a Regal Red Rock movie ticket, $8 for everyone else. It’s available Thursday through Sunday.

Hiroba Sushi, 10720 S. Eastern Ave. in Henderson, has created a Barbie Roll. It’s filled with cucumber, avocado and shrimp tempura, and topped with crab mix, crunch and a drizzle of spicy mayo and eel sauce. It’s $12.99.

Founders Coffee, at 6410 S. Durango Drive and 3512 St. Rose Parkway, has created Come On Barbie, Let’s Get Coffee. The Barbie-inspired coffee flight is made up of Malibu Barbie, a strawberry coconut latte with pink coconut whip cream and MaliBLUE sprinkles; Disco Barbie, a raspberry butterfly Palmer with a disco sparkle rim and candy skewer; Baker Barbie, a pink frosted sugar cookie latte; and Tropical Ken Doll, an iced vanilla latte topped with banana cold foam and an edible flower. The flight costs $14.50 and is available through Sunday.
