| - I got addicted to massages in 2015 (without having had one my entire life previously) spanning Vanuatu (a Pacific Island), San Francisco, Newport Beach, San Diego, Oregon, Mexico... and Las Vegas at "Best Foot Spa" in November (prior to having 20 or so spanning a month in Puerto Vallarta).
Well against all my experiences worldwide now, I can safely state that "Best Foot Spa" is a very special place!! The only negative comment I would make is that they should change their name, because the "Foot Spa" part of the name implies it only does foot massages, and that is simply wrong -- so I would change the name to "Best Spa" based on the amazing full-body massage I had.
It's quite a large place, with many different masseuses to accommodate the many tables, so the few negative comments on Yelp I could only attribute to that particular masseuse. I had a fantastic one -- Anna, an adorable ultra-polite young Chinese woman (trained in China also) who has *very* strong but overall perfect hands for a full-body massage. So if I had a single recommendation, it would be to request Anna specifically, then tell her how strong you want the massage from the start, and don't hesitate to give her feedback when she repeatedly asks if everything is going well throughout! She is the most polite masseuse I had throughout 2015 and also gave the very best massage!
As evidence of how pleased I was with my experience, I actually went twice in the same day! My feet were hurting from extensive walking the prior week, so I initially booked just one 90-minute treatment (amazing deal for 30 minutes each for head/shoulders/neck, then feet, then back at just $50 total plus tip) in the afternoon. It was sooo great that afterwards I booked Anna again later that evening for two hours instead of 90 minutes!
The background music was very relaxing as well. The music makes a big difference in the total atmosphere for me.
What was also so impressive is that the owner, Rex, accommodated me late that evening because I went to a show that got out later than I expected, so he stayed open later than regular closing time (midnight) just for me. I gave him a tip for that great service, in addition to Anna of course, who was just as great the second time. I cannot imagine how she can work so many hours yet still have the endurance to give such a great massage (but she's young and very strong obviously!).
I also have had a chronically bad lower back, so I appreciated the back massage as much as the foot massage, and I had never experienced such a soothing head/shoulders/neck treatment while your feet are soaking in a hot bath (never had this at any other place!) and you're leaning back on an extremely comfortable chair with perfect cushioning (so many tables have very hard rests for your head). Then for the back massage part, you turn over and again, the headrest is very comfortable.
This place is all class. I could not recommend it more highly, but if you want to be assured of the "Best Spa" full-body experience for 90 minutes, just ask for Anna by name!
P.S. I practice what I preach, as I am visiting Vegas again soon for three nights and will be requesting a two-hour massage from Anna each day!
