| - I am no spa connoisseur, though I do consider myself deserving of a damn good facial and massage. Which, as a birthday present for myself, booked a facial and upper body massage for me whilst staying at the Cosmopolitan last weekend.
Boyfriend and I got the spa suite (+$50) that allowed us to relax and unwind in the midst of the chaos (yes, complete chaos) of the hotel, let alone the city. After coming to Vegas a couple times a year, I've found that though clubbing & drinking is good, 'me' time is so much better! That's another story.
So, we were brought to the separate women's/men's sides, respectively. Told to undress and change into the most comfiest robe. I was given a tour of the spa (including jacuzzi, sauna, mist and steam rooms, vanity room, and the lounge area with teas and snacks. I then was called by the esthetician to the back, where I met with Jay and his esthetician as well. We were brought to the spa suite upstairs, which had a separate lounge area with tv, showers, restroom, vanity area and steam room.
I got the CORluminous facial... well worth the $155! For Jay I ordered the Elemental HIM $145. LOVED IT! I didn't realize how much I needed a relaxing getaway, even if it only was for an hour.
After the facials, we were given massages and then the techs left for us to relax in the spa suite for 45 minutes. The shower in that suite was the most amazing shower I've ever taken! Water came from all sides of the wall, and the top like a rainfall. We also turned on the steam in the room to make it extra relaxing. SO WORTH IT. I think I'm on the way to successfully changing my boyfriend's mind about spas. Wish me luck. :)
HEAVEN! So worth it.
