| - I had three different go-rounds with the MGM Grand Spa, and I continue to be a happy camper. The first service I received years ago was the Turkish Hammam ritual, which continues to set the bar for ultimate indulgent experience. In all the years I've been spa-ing in general, I only remember the names to two therapists and one of them is Taylor who Turkish Hammam'd me. That service entailed exfoliation via coffee grinds (enervating!), a mindblwing scalp massage during a cozy wrap and sweeping massage (relax, go to it!).
The latest service I booked is the Dreaming Ritual, the "signature" ritual at MGM, and by signature, they mean most expensive. While the Turkish Hammam clocked in at 100 mins, the Dreaming Ritual gives you a full 2 hours of bliss. Strange though, while it was amazing as well, for some reason it didn't out-do my halcyon memories of the Turkish Hammam. So I don't think I'll be booking that again, because honestly, $310 (plus the 20% gratuity they automatically tack on to treatments) is just, as Simon Cowell would say, "indulgent," and not in a good, fiscally responsible way.
