Docked one star since they don't offer IV fluids and B vitamin injections. Kidding! I wasn't quite that desperate, but close. The gym was clean and modern and I got a little BTN* workout in before spa time of lounging on the heated stone chaise, melting in the jacuzzi, and detoxing in the steam room.
Last year in Vegas with the same pride of Cougars, I opted out of spa time thinking it was a waste of money (how could I spend $260 on a massage when I spend $90 for a probably better one at home?), but I succumbed this year and spent the $40 for day use. I'm now a believer. Even if you are in Vegas for a Knitting and Bible Convention, breathing the recycled toxic air will make you dehydrated and sick to your stomach, never mind if you are there to purposely dehydrate yourself, so I finally "get" spa time. And Encore's is lavish and lovely and worth at least of few of those chips you won on the craps table (or worked two weeks for at home).
