| - I was in dire need of a ME Day, so I headed south on the 15 to check out the new M Resort and invest some time in a little pampering for my abused nails. The salon was fairly easy to find (on the level below the casino) and the decor was "glamorous zen," which I found very pleasing. They have some amazing crystal chandeliers in the salon that were so beautiful, they literally took my breath away. Didn't indulge in the pedi chairs, but they sure looked tempting.
I couldn't get right in on a Saturday afternoon, so I made my mani appt for 5:30 and headed upstairs to play for a while. I returned at the pre-arranged time, and checked in at the front desk.
Gloria came out a few minutes later with a sweet smile and cheery attitude, which got things off to a nice start. She asked what color I wanted and when I described the type of red I was looking for, she brought back 3 samples and let me choose from those. She found the perfect one to match my pedi (OPI's Big Apple Red) - YAY!
Thirty dollars is not bad for a mani at a Vegas resort, and Gloria knows her stuff. She did a terrific job on my nails and even brought me a frosty soda in a glass at the start of our visit. A base coat, top coat, and quick-dry topping were included. She gave me the buffer and file to take home (nice touch) and even chased after me when she realized I'd forgotten a ring at her table. Thank you Gloria!
I don't think I'd make a special trip down there for a mani/pedi, but if you're in the area, give Spa Mio at The M a try! A beautiful atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly staff and prices are less than the Strip resorts.
