| - I have been to a foot spa before, but this was my first time receiving the foot massage. Moving back to Las Vegas from California, I wanted to find a place that was similar to the one I had gone to in Sacramento. I heard about the $20/hour foot massage and wanted to try it out. When my cousin and her husband suggested that we go to this place since it was their favorite, I couldn't resist.
This location says on their door that they are open until 2 AM, but when you go up to the door, you can see that there was a black "1" sticker in front of the "2", making the closing time 12 AM! Yes, we received our massage around 12 AM and NO it was not that type of massage. In a 24-hour city that is Las Vegas, there are other things you can do late night that doesn't involve promiscuity! We had a party of 5, which included myself, my cousin and her husband, his mother, and another cousin of mine. We had to wait 15 minutes for a room to be available so that we can have somewhat of our own privacy. The waiting area is lit up like a winter wonderland with fake trees that lit up. The main room reminded me of a furniture warehouse with partitions separating the sections. We received our massage in a room that contained 5 beds.
Once we all laid down, the ladies came in with a bucket full of warm water that our feet were to go into. Since I am super short, I had to scoot down and the masseuse had to sit on the massage bed to get in the right angle to perform the massage. It started with a scalp massage and worked down to neck and shoulders, arms and hands, then lower leg, and foot. Once that was complete, we turned over and the back massage finalized the whole process. I especially loved the scalp massage. I wish I could have someone massage my scalp like that every day! The pressure on the back massage was intense. They used their whole arms including their elbows. It would have been the perfect amount of pressure, but I felt like the way the bed was set up hindered a great experience. The bed is one big cushion with a hole at the end to place your face into instead of a massage table with an extension for your face. Whenever she would push into my back, I felt like I was being choked as my neck and face pushed into the hole. Other than that bit of discomfort, I felt like the massage was perfect. She released the tension that I had in my back and worked out the knots that I came in there with. The massages were all synchronized and we were all finished at about the same time. One of my cousins even started snoring during the massage!
I have never been into an Asian massage place and am unsure it is typical for them to wait around for you to tip them. You pay after the service is performed, which I thought was appropriate since you can gauge what you want to tip them from their performance. My cousin mentioned that another place they had went to, you pay up front and they demand that you pay at least $5 for a 30 minute service. I gladly gave my lady $10 gratuity!
