| - I came to Drift as a guest of the Palms Resort. For guests the day pass is $15, and $30 I believe for visitors.
If you go, here is what you need to know, because this is going to be the best $15/$30 you have ever spent. You will get a cozy snuggly bathrobe, slippers and a locker and access to their dry sauna, steam room, a huge soaking hot tub, and a cold soaking tub as well as the hammam.
I was told to start off with the dry sauna then soak in the hot tub, then the hammam then the super hot steam room, and finish with the cold soak. I felt fabulous. There are plenty of lounge chairs all around the hot tub so come when you can spend some time just relaxing. There is also a separate lounge room with magazines, water and juices as well as fresh fruit (apples, oranges and bananas) and trail mix too keep your energy up. (This is all FREE as part of your entrance fee!)
The hamman is not as hot as the smaller steam room so bring your towel and hang out in there for a while. It's a huge steamy tiled circular room with built-in benches all around. In the middle is a very large sort of table/bench you can beach yourself on. When I went it was completely empty so I had the whole table to myself. If you get too hot, in the corner is a little cove with a cold water shower.
Next to the steam room and hot tub is anm iced water dispenser with sliced cucumbers (delightful!) and a bucket of ice with rolled up face cloths for you to keep cool with. There are also plenty of bottles of water available everywhere as well as extra towels.
Lastly, the showers are fantastic. Your little shower room comes with YOUR OWN high quality disposable razor, shaving cream, and luscious smelling shower gel and shampoo and conditioner. When it's time to get dressed you can do your hair and make-up with complementary hair products and a really good blow dryer.
They scrimp on nothing here and you get so much more than your money's worth.
If you live in Vegas, this is a great way to pamper yourself and have a spa day on the cheap and if you're just visiting I suggest going like I did on check out day -especially if you have a late flight, just check out but at front desk, you can still take advantage of the pool and spa and still have a place to get to get showered and changed. You will look fabulous and glowing on your flight home!
