I came here on 12/18/13. It was my birthday, and my boyfriend had surprised me with a spa day. We got the Ultimate Couples Relaxation Package, and I believe there was a discount for us. However, despite the discount, it was still pretty pricy, but ultimately very RELAXING!
I was here before, about a year or two ago with girlfriends, and was pretty unimpressed by the services and amenities. After going to Qua (at Caesar's), you'd understand where I'm coming from, but this particular visit was pretty amazing!
Our appointment was at 11:00am, and we had arrived at around 10:30 to get settled in. The ladies room was well kept at all times. There are showers, sinks, and areas to glam yourself up. There is also a sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi in the women's area. All nice, clean and relaxing. In addition to this, there is a large room, filled with couches and magazines to peruse as you wait for treatment.
One thing I love about Canyon Ranch are the "co-ed" areas--the main room (the "Conservatory"), beautifully decorated--couches and loungers everywhere to relax and have some fruit and tea. Although, instead of the serene water fountain, I wish they had a co-ed pool or jacuzzi in this area to up the relaxation level. The other co-ed room is called the "Salt Grotto." This room is darkly lit with red lighting, heated to a nice, warm 85 degrees. The benches, floor, and walls are all heated. The "sea air" is supposed to help you relax when you're in this room. The seats, although heated, were not that comfy. My boyfriend preferred the "Wave Room." This room was also darkly lit, but blue; and the ceiling reflected the water located in the center of the room, surrounded by ergonomic-styled chairs to lie down and watch the ceiling. The room and chairs were not warmed--it was rather quite cool for me, but it definitely served an environment for a quick cat nap. All these areas were very nice, quite and relaxing.
On to the treatments. The Ultimate Couples Relaxation Package which included the Couples Rasul mud bath/shower and a Couples Massage. The Couples Rasul has got to be by far one of the most unique treatments I've ever experienced. The attendant brought us into a dimly lit room. There were two lounge chairs, towels, and a large steam shower. The shower was beautiful. The tiles were blue, and the ceiling reflected "stars" and "rained" water at the end of the treatment. There were two concave seats that faced each other, two handheld shower-heads, and aromatic steam that releases during the shower, as you rub each other down with the selection of imported muds to cleanse and exfoliate. It was sensual, relaxing, and fun.
The couples Rasul was about an hour long, and afterwards, we hung out in the Conservatory room for about half an hour, and were ushered into our couples massage. The massage was great. It was about 50 minutes long. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it.
After our treatments, we went to the Canyon Ranch Grill and spent the $40 certificate that was included into our package. We ordered the kale chips with ranch--delicious! I ordered the portobello mushroom stuffed with quinoa and burrata cheese, on top of a baby spinach salad. This was good and healthy! My boyfriend ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. This was good. It had grilled chicken, grilled red onions and peppers, and avocado. I also ordered a mimosa. The meal totaled to about $40--perfect for our certificate! We left tip, of course.
All in all, I really enjoyed our spa day, mostly because of the couples treatments and coed areas, and the fact that there were NO people really. Apparently, Vegas is pretty much deserted right before Christmas. And then Christmas hits, and it's like a zoo! LOL! They have a lot of specials during this time of year to try to attract customers on such a slow day. I'm sure it's starting to get crowded again now that NYE is just a couple days away. But Canyon Ranch is definitely a great spa to check out!
