| - Glow Spa is at the Tropicana Hotel.
If you're looking for a luxurious day spa where you can lounge and take advantage of a variety of amenities aside from getting a treatment, then DO NOT come here. If you're the type of person who likes to be in and out with their treatments and don't mind the sparse amenities or don't even use the amenities, then by all means check this place out.
Like other Yelpers have mentioned, this place is super small. The room I had my massage in was the same size as both the locker room and amenities area combined.
I came here with fellow Yelper Ingrid R. After checking in, we were given a quick tour of the relaxation room; locker room; and amenities area. It was just the 2 of us in the locker room which had about 30+ lockers, BUT the space could only hold 5 people max, it was that small. The room next door had the steam room and 2 showers (1 of which was broken). A wave of disappointment hit me as I saw the sparse amenities. I was nervous about how my treatment would turn out.
We went to the relaxation room and waited to be called. My favorite part of the spa is the relaxation room. The room is painted and decorated in calm neutral colors. The soothing sound of trickling water from a mini fountain adds to the calm environment. There are individual lounges each separated by a hanging white cloth. As for amenities there were "Vegas" magazines for reading, chilled water, and hot black tea (an odd choice of tea for a spa). I assumed this area was for women only until I saw a man walk in and plop himself down on the lounge beds *$&@! THANK GOD I DIDN'T DISROBE WHILE RELAXING...it would've been nice had we been informed, during the tour, that the relaxation room was co-ed.
The treatment I chose was "Glow from Top to Toe" (50 mini for $130): 25 minutes of a foot and ankle massage and 25 minutes of a scalp, shoulder, arm and hand massage. While being massaged, both my hands and feet were popped into a pair of hot paraffin mitts/booties. Sounds amazing right?! And it was :) My masseuse was surprisingly good, although at times she was a bit too chatty for me and when she wasn't chatting, the background music was that of radio type music instead of 'spa' music (again an odd choice for a spa). I loooooved the scalp massage, I could've had that done for the entire session. The rest of my massage was better than I had anticipated. As for the hot paraffin, they were HOT to the point where I was debating if I should say anthing, but since I have a high threshold for pain I figured it'd cool down gradually to a nice and warm sensation which eventually happened.
I'm still not sure if i'd come back just because I like spas that have a variety of amenities to use and encourage you to stay the entire day.
