Winter fake-outs: Skating and snow in SoCal and beyond
Southern California can be so fake in winter. Snow does fall in the local mountains, but Long Beach and Carlsbad? Hardly. It's all part of a need to conjure picturesque holiday scenes despite balmy temperatures. So if you really need to get your (fake) winter on, here are some places to try. And really, you won't need to bundle up at all.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas( Denise Truscello )
The Cosmopolitan is going for the Central Park feel on the Las Vegas Strip. This is the hotel's first pool-to-ice-skating-rink trick. It costs $15 to skate and $5 to rent skates at the rink, which will remain until Jan. 20. And there are fire pits and s'mores to be had here too.
