| - Since moving out of state, I haven't had access to those cheap Chinese foot massages that are all the rage in So. CA now. On a recent visit to Vegas, my friends and i decided to take a break from gambling to get one. We have been to numerous Chinese foot massage parlors all over the world, including in China. This was one of the better ones if you don't mind putting up with a little chaos.
I called to make appointments for four of us about 45 minutes ahead of time. When we walked in, we were the only clients and everything proceeded very nicely for a while. They set us up in comfy lounge chairs, then soaked our feet in hot water while Peter massaged my neck, shoulders and scalp (I was seated on the ottoman facing the chair). The neck and shoulders was heavenly but the scalp was basically just scratching which didn't do anything for me. After about 15 minutes, I was instructed to sit on the chair with my feet on the ottoman and he began to massage my legs and feet. Tea was offered, which was nice and I really began to relax. But it was not to last. A family of 5 plus two kids walked in without appointments and that is when everything went haywire. All four of our masseuses got onto their cell phones to dial desperately for reinforcements. Peter seemed to be in charge because he spent the most time on the phone. After a while, I told him just to stop massaging my leg and finish his calls because he was using one hand to hold his phone while repeatedly rubbing one leg as he talked and I didn't feel he was focused. He apologized repeatedly and got up to finish his call. He also gave me a couple of extra minutes at the end to make up for the time he was away.
After the feet, he massaged my arms and hands a bit before sliding out a 2nd ottoman, thus extending the chair into a bed. After covering the bed with towels, he had me lie down on my stomach with my head hanging off the ottoman and my feet on the chair. He then proceeded to massage my back and OMG it was wonderful!
I'm sure there was more to the massage, but this is what I recall. Despite the chaos, everyone was very nice, very professional and I would definitely go again next time I'm in town. Everyone in the group enjoyed their massage and we all just sort of laughed and accepted that this is the price you pay for an inexpensive massage. Angel, the owner, showed up (as part of the reinforcements) and was very friendly.
$38 for 60 minutes, we added on $7 for tip to make it $45/person. I took off one star for the chaos. By the way, don't expect authentic reflexology here. I've done that and they are VERY painful. These places say they offer reflexology, but it is really nothing more than an excellent massage by a skilled amateur. Still feels oh-so-good, though!
