| - For the price, it is A-OK. I usually go to Vegas once a year and try out a new spa on the Strip and for anyone who has been to a Vegas spa you know that generally it is a destination filled with amazing themes, calming sounds and relaxing little rooms. However, this time with our schedule I had little time on my hands and just decided to kill a couple hours in the Monte Carlos spa (where I was staying).
For my $20 resort fee I am required to pay daily I found that I do not actually get free entry into the spa - just the gym. OK. So for and additional $10 you can enter the spa and use the facilities. A small price, but really annoyed me since we are required to pay the resort fee. Anyways - enough with the whining - on with the review.
The facilities are really small compared to other spas on the strip. They have the standard fare - hot tub, cold tub, dry sauna, steam room and locker room/dressing rooms, however be prepared for a very tiny area. The hot tub can only seat 10 (I am used to the big spas that have like 50 person ones). The cold pool is literally for a dip (says it seats 4, but I doubt if 2 ppl could get in there at once). The sauna and steam room actually are pretty good size and were sizzling the day I was there - almost too hot to take! The rest of the place is OK. It is clean and quiet. Heck, I didn't see another person there my whole 2 hours!
Here are my major complaints: 1) there are no chaise lounges anywhere, there are just chairs - who wants to lounge in a chair? 2) There are no popular magazines, there are like industry mags (like info on how to run a spa). 3) If there was juice and fruit, I wasn't offered it nor did I see it anywhere! I found the water in the sitting room. 4) They didn't have a swim suit drier - which even the most basic gym has! I guess my point is, it isn't a place that makes you want to stay. You get in and you get out.
To burn a couple hours for $10, this place was OK, but it is not a destination spa. It is a place to kill time.
