| - I spent several hours here a few months ago. I had been wanting to go for ages due to all the awesome things I heard about this place. While I was definitely happy spending time here, it did not quite live up to everything I heard about it.
Pros:
1. Really awesome customer service. Everyone here is friendly and makes conversation with ease.
2. Heated floor around the jacuzzi!
3. Really awesome steam room that doesn't look like a steam room! It's dimly lit in blue, purple, and green lighting.
4. The best spa water ever! Also plenty of apples and oranges for snacking. Bottled water throughout the spa, too.
Cons:
1. The overall feel of the spa was not very relaxing. It was a little cold, since everything was so modern. The excessive amount of gray marble everywhere also contributed to minimalist vibe that wasn't very welcoming.
2.The Hammam treatment was overrated. You pay for someone to bathe you for 45 minutes while you lay on a warm slab. The therapist was really nice, but the treatment didn't do anything for me. It didn't leave my skin as soft as I'd hoped.
3. The experience showers were a waste of time. It's a shower that mimics weather from a light mist to a torrential rain. The lights didn't change enough to be noticeable, and I could barely hear the sound effects. Nothing happened on the mist setting, but I did get unevenly pelted with lukewarm water on the torrential rain setting.
Basically, I'm glad I got to experience this, but I probably won't be back. I think I discovered my go-to Vegas spa a few days later (Qua). I think Mandarin Oriental is worth a trip, as many people do love it. The vibe just didn't appeal to what I look for in a spa.
