| - Oh Thebathhouse at THEhotel, I goddam love you.
From the second you get off the elevator and walk in, you feel SO relaxed. Unlike the spa at Mandalay Bay, and most other spas for that matter, Thebathhouse is beautifully decorated in grays and slates. Something about the darker quieter colors make the experience so much more relaxing. This spa is a lot smaller than the one at Mandalay Bay (I think it might be half the size) but its got everything the avid spa enthusiast needs: 3 pools with varying temps, multiple saunas (both electric and steam), treatment rooms, a full salon, and an amazing waterfall that I love to take a nap next to with a chilled cucumbers and a cold towel over my eyes. Sublime!
I also like to take extra long showers, using up all the fancy lotions and potions they have in those giant bottles. Try leaving the conditioner in your hair, and go relax in one of the saunas for a deep condition before rinsing it out. The vanity area has so many different amenities that you don't have to bring anything with you. On top of the expected high end lotions and potions, they have hair ties, cotton swabs, brushes, hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, and also some very nice hair products, as well as razors and shaving cream. I literally only brought my iPhone and chapstick.
Some people have written reviews complaining that this spa doesn't give you enough food in the quiet lounge. I don't understand what the big deal is, did they come to a spa expecting a brunch buffet? All you really need is iced water, bananas, and some of that pineapple juice cocktail they make geez.
If you book one of their treatments, you get a free day pass which allows you to come in and out until they close at 8:00pm, otherwise a day pass costs only $25 and gives you access to all the spa amenities (a 3-day pass only costs $65!). Also, this place never gets crowded. But if you really want to feel like you have the place to yourself, try coming before 10am, or after 4pm.
Thebathhouse at THEhotel has me hooked. I don't think I can ever go to another spa again.
