Best Time to Visit

What to Know

As a mobile vendor, locations change daily so check their schedule before heading out. Prices are typical for specialty shaved ice ($4-7 per serving), and the truck accepts cash and cards.

Seasonal Notes

Operating year-round in Las Vegas, though summer heat makes shaved ice especially appealing. The truck is often present at school events during the academic year and community festivals during spring and fall. Winter hours may be reduced.
