| - I bought a Travelzoo deal and went there this past weekend. We went on a Sunday and it was not that crowded. I was worried it would be crowded. We first got to the pool around 10 a.m. There were maybe 5-6 people there but one thing I don't like is that everyone eating at Simon's has a full view of the pool. There are all glass windows and it makes it kind of awkward when you swim by people who are eating and fully clothed. I am sure it would not bother some people, but shy people beware. At the pool it began to get crowded around noon. About 25 people or so, but still not too bad. You can order food and drinks from the poolside menu. It took 30 minutes to make a quesadilla and the quesadilla was $14 and looked like it came from Del Taco-I would not suggest ordering that. You are better off buying $14 worth of food for your whole family at Del Taco. But it is the strip and expected, but I do believe they could have put a tiny bit more effort into the quesadilla to make it different. Drinks are around $14 each.
This is my second time at this spa. My first time I was impressed but I was not happy that their Hammam was broken. This time the Hammam worked but the steam room in the women's area was broken. That's okay because the Hammam was much better than a steam room. I only wish they turned the relaxing music up a bit in there. I could barely hear it. That would make for a more relaxing time. Everywhere you look it is clean which I really appreciated it. I did not see any hairs or trash or anything else gross anywhere. I liked that inside the spa many people were alone. I hate going to spa where there's a bunch of people talking and carrying out laughing and being loud. Luckily this place was pretty quiet inside. Their jacuzzi is pretty weak (the jets) and I think it could use some stronger jets for my taste.
They provide bottled water, juice, tea, fruits, and trail mix in the lounge, magazine, and a TV (which again, I rather be turned off from the world when I am at a spa).
You can also use their fitness room which overlooks the strip.
The 4 stars are for the amenities you get with booking a spa treatment (pool, fitness room, Hammam) and the cleanliness. Also my facial was wonderful and I was so relaxed I fell asleep. I would come back here again if there's another deal.
