| - Five stars for the use of spa facilities and vanity area.
$45 or $20 for diamond member. Price is good from open to close, includes usage of spa facility, vanity area, and fitness.
Upon entrance, I was provided a mini tour of the facility. Robe, flip flop, locker provided. Keypad entry, no key required, so you don't need to carry around a key bracelet. Time for an adventure through hot and cold!
1st stop, dark and dim roman baths. Three baths, one large (body temp), two small (hot & cold). Accompanied with waterfalls and a central overhead rainforest shower. Ceramic lounge chairs (more comfortable than it sounds) and other various seats for resting. Counter with canned juice, fruit, and water. One thing though, this spa is pretty old and I can see the torn up flooring and molding ceilings. In the spa baths, I'm reluctant to lean on the edge because it's a tad grotesque. The big bath is completely lean-able though!
2nd stop, the cedarwood sauna. It's fun to do sit ups in here. Nothing special. Adjacently across the hall are the steam room and arctic room.
3rd stop, the steam room with herbal scents. Don't wear your robe into...the...steam..room. Some lady was about to do that and I suggested that she not. Bring in towels instead! Then do yoga in there, fun too..when the steam fills the room, no one can even tell what the heck you're doing, like it matters in the first place, free country right. Personally I didn't think it smelled like anything pleasant ( I really like the eucalyptus scent at bellagio's steam room)
4th stop, arctic room! This was why I wanted to come take a look at Qua. Well it was the deciding factor. A COLD SNOWING ROOM?! Well it was snowing bubbles, great representation of snow though. I went in with my swimsuit and some lady looked at me in her robe. There is a bowl and if you press the button to the left, ice chips fall through the tube. Apparently you use it for exfoliation. So I took two handfuls and "exfoliated" my skin. I was freezing cold. The lady suddenly said, "You are crazy." I am telling you, it's not that bad, go try it!
...this is where i jump back and forth between the steam room and the arctic room. It's thrilling. Cuz I am hot and I am cold, yes and I'm no, I go in then I go out...
5th stop, the counter at the end of the hall with ice cold towels and water. HYDRATE AFTER THE STEAM ROOM! ICE COLD REFRESHER AFTER SWEATING....or bring in the iced towel into the sauna.
6th stop, showers. There is one more hot tub thing, but I didn't go in. It didn't look appealing, so I went back to the roman baths. After that, I hit the showers. Each shower stall locks, has a towel rack, towel mat, cleansing essentials and shaving cream. You'd think the shampoo/conditioner is soothing, but noo, the conditioner is horrible!! I didn't even feel like my hair was clean after using it. There are 4 shower heads. Well one overhead rainforest style, two from the front @ an angle and another in the back.
7th stop, swim suit spin dryer machine to turn my drenching wrung swimsuit dripless.
8th stop, the tea lounge. Right beside the tea lounge, there is a counter with iced tea, water, pretzels, fruit and underneath are cabinets and disguised fridges with canned juice. The tea lounge is a waiting area for spa treatments and for relaxing. Ask for a cup of recommended tea, grab a magazine, and chill.
9th stop, vanity counter. After changing, I headed over to the vanity counters where there are q-tips, razors, cotton pads, thin hair ties, hair brushes, curler, straightener, blow dryer, lotion, aerosol deodorant, and hairspray. I actually came back later in the evening before it closed to shower again and curl my hair..HAHA. Hey, it's an all day pass. I am disastrous when it comes to doing nice things to my hair. The employees weren't busy because it was a slow time before closing. Taylor, super friendly lady, curled my hair for me. THANK YOU!
See, you can have an adventure in the spa and use up a good 2-4 hours without even knowing it. Next time, I am TREATing myself to a TREATment. It was trick or TREATing night too. Dang it. Too late.
