| - Loved this place! It is off the strip, which made it hard to choose over the many spa options on the strip, but it had a pedicure option that sounded so divine, it made it worth the trip. I am so glad i did! You definitely need a car to get here.
My sister and I (along with our husbands and father) spent several hours here one day. The men hung out on the men's side of the spa, and we on the women's side. We went a couple hours early before our pedicure appointment so that we could enjoy the spa amenities before hand. So glad we did. You have to go early to do the "aqua sulis rituals" (i.e. the hot and cold pools) as well as the steam room. I love a good steam! Our spa service (pedicures) came with full access to the spa for the day. The men didn't have services done, so they had to pay a $25 fee for use of the spa for the day. My dad, who goes to vegas frequently, said he will definitely be back to enjoy the spa experience again.
It was disappointing that the outside spa pool was not in service on the day we went. It would have been nice to have been told this when we made the appointment and/or when they called us to confirm the appointment the day before hand. Although that was disappointing, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
There is also a huge pool area (outside of the spa, the regular hotel pool) which is beautiful. There is also a poolside cafe where you can have a bite to eat. That pool was totally open while we were there.
Pedicures were amazing. We got the wine down pedicures which come with 2 glasses of wine each and a huge plate of several different cheeses as well as some crackers. Very generous portions of cheese, very good cheese, very generous and good wine. It was Ravenswood Zinfandel, one of my favorites! There was brie, cheddar, gouda... there was also a bit of fruit.
The ladies who gave us our pedicures did an excellent job. Every time i look at my pretty toes i smile remembering the great time we had! They took their time and were very professional and thorough with each part of the pedicure experience.
The chairs that you sit in during the pedicure are awesome. So comfortable. And the foot bath you put your feet in is amazing. The products used on your feet are so wonderful. Everything was perfect, relaxing, luxurious. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The only thing I think that could be improved would be a walk through of the spa area explaining the aqua sulis rituals. We were only shown to the locker room and assigned lockers. We pretty much had to figure everything out on our own. If you are advertising this as a "ritual" then you should explain what that ritual entails. Or if you don't want to pay someone to explain that, then at least have a sign up that explains it.
This was my first trip to Vegas. I really didn't care for Vegas very much and really don't have a desire to go back (i don't gamble, and hate cigarette smoke) but i have to say that the side trip to the spa was the best part of my trip, and i would LOVE to go back just to stay at this place and do spa days every day! I'm thinking i will have to plan a girl's trip just to hang out at this spa again. The entry way to the hotel looked amazing too. I'd love to go back and stay there and check it out.
The men also had a great time on the guys' side of the spa. The only negative is if you wanted to have a couples experience at a spa, this is not the right spa to do that in. The only shared co-ed area of the spa is the outdoor area pool and the gym.
This place is wonderful and absolutely 100% definitely worth the trip off the strip. Do it - you won't regret it! My free advice - go WAY early before your appointment to give yourself PLENTY of time to enjoy the spa! Make a day of it! Even if you are only having one service done!
