| - If there is one thing I miss the most from Asia...it'd be the abundance of massage houses and the fact that custs can walk-in anytime and be able to get massages without making appts. Of courses the fact the most massages from Asia do not cost more than US$30 or $40 an hour is very appealing also.
Well, all that can now be found in lovely and exciting Las Vegas. Take a drive along spring mountain and there re prolly more 10-15 of these massage houses with signs hanging that say one hour massage $20. I was skeptical about such good deals but decided to follow yelpers choice. I went to my usual massage house yesterday but ended up paying close to $50 for an hour when I thought it was priced at $22 + tips..so I figured I gotta try and see what else is out there?
So I found myself in Bali foot spa tonight after a long day of gambling and shopping. The guy behind the front counter was quite polite. He Answered my questions and lead us to our chairs... It was 10:15 pm and we were gonna get massages without an appt! I was stoked!
My first impression upon entering the massage room is that it was hugh! Simply decorated with light up plants along the sides..kinda pretty but kinda weird...the Asian designed partitions were nice too...we were lead to the very last room...and when I say room, I meant an area with 2 armless chairs just like the first photo shown...not very comfy...with the Asian partitions on 3 sides to form a semi private space. Not very private, but it's a $20 massage at 10:15pm! How can I complain??
The whole time we were there, it was very noisy. Just our luck a large group came in right after our massage therapists started working on us. People talking, laughing, moving furnitures back and forth, cel phone going off and etc...but it's a $20 massage at 10:15pm! How can I complain??
Now the massages...not once our therapist asked if we were ok with the pressure. Everything was done with a very cold and I can care less Manner. Neither therapists had any technique or pressure. So were the massages good? No, they weren't good...but it's a $20 massage at 10:15pm! How can I complain??
At the end we were offered water and the guy behind the front counter collected from us. One of the therapists made sure I heard that they don't get paid too much... And after seeing a tip chart posted in the lady's room saying they re unhappy when tipped $5... We tipped $10 each, that's 50% of the cost of the massage, but it's a $20 massage at 10:15pm! How can I complain??
To conclude, will I go back to Bali or any other massage houses next time I'm in Vegas? Heck yeah! After all, you couldn't pay me enough to massage anyone for an hour, well in our case...almost an hour...especially when the price is only $20 and then I gotta hope to get a tip after rendering service...
So go ahead people! Go show your supports to these massage houses and tip your therapists. We need them to stay in business so we can get somewhat pampered with such little money. And who knows, we might actually run into a good therapist one day.
