I don't know how many times I have passed by these Aqua massage systems and oxygen bars in various malls and some airports, etc. I truthfully never game them a second thought. Well on a recent visit I received a gift card to Zen Zone to give it a try and i was thoroughly surprised! This won't put humans out of the massage therapy business anytime soon but it sure was a welcome refresher before that long drive home.
it was surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable. It is after all a a simple series of high pressure water jets moving and pulsating your back as you are stuffed in a tube and surrounded by what amounts to a large plastic bag.

I am not sure this is for the claustrophobic, but it worked for me. You can wear noise cancelling head phones too as the machine is somewhat noisy.

You only need to remove your shoes and lay down, the attendance\manager does the rest. The times vary from 7 to 30 minutes and I was in for 20 minutes.

They do run specials and I used my gift card to also try the flavored oxygen. Enough flavor choices to keep up with a fro-yo joint!

The manager could not have been nicer, her name escapes me, but I was there on a recent Sunday afternoon. As you are taking in the oxygen you can sample the small personal massager that attaches small electrodes on your neck and back. It's a soft sell but worth the pitch as that coupled with the oxygen following the Aqua massage was simply invigorating!
All in all I could not have been more pleasantly surprised and would not hesitate to go again and reboot before, during or after or during a Vegas trip. I was not the only one as after I finished my session the place was nearly full. Nice job Zen Zone for putting the Zen in my experience.
