| - I visited this spa because of the reviews on Yelp and I must say...boy oh boy was it gooooood!!! Great hing is you do NOT have to be a hotel guest and you do NOt have to schedule a treament. $45.00 can get you an all day pass into the fitness gym and spa.
I scheduled myself for the classic 50 min massage at 11am so before that I took advantage of the gym. I walk in and first the guy asks if I want headphones. For what? Well hello! Your cardio machine has its own personal tv screen so while you're working out, you can chose to watch t.v or listen to their music player. All their fitness machines are up to date and well maintained. There are complimentary towels and refrigerated beverages for you to also use during your workout. After about 45 min, I went back to put my bathing suit on and enjoy the luxuries of the spa. I started at the Roman bath room where there are 3 different temperature bubbling spas. These range from a very cool pool to a 86 degree large bubbling pool to a hotter 100 degree bubbling spa. The lounge chairs are made out of marble that heat up when you lay on them. After I made my way to the steam room which is always my personal fav. I sat in that large room for about 10 minutes just taking deep breathes of that wonerdful steam. to cool down before my massage, I stepped into the Artic room which lightly snows (it's just suds but it looks like snow) in 55 degree cooling temp. It was a wonderful way to cool down. Something I couldn't experience without coming here. After all this I had to wait in the Meditation Room which features a flat screen, a side bar of fruit, snacks, and more refrigerated beverages, and a wide array of teas. If you wish, a person will personally custom make you your own tea! My massage therapist Pamela or Patricia (I can't believe I forgot her name!! It starts with a P definitely) took me back and gave me probably the best massage in my life! I told her I like to be massaged all over and I like the concentration to be on my arms, hands and feet and she did just that! She even placed a warm lavendar scented compress on my eyes when I was on my back and when I did turn over, she placed a roll for underneath my legs and a warm blanket for my lower half. I must say this massage made me feel so special and every dime I spent into it was SO WORTH IT. It was worth the 140 dollars to feel like I was in heaven! After all that I still journeyed into the steam room and the bubbling spas and even lay down on one of the cushioned lounge chairs to take a brief nap. The only reason I finally showered and left was because I was STARVING. The staff let me know frequently that I was allowed to come back if I wanted to up until they closed at 8pm. Gosh darn, if i knew that I would've brought a sandwich in my bag! Great thing about this place too is the only things I brought with me, were my gym clothes, bathing suit, afterward clothes and my makeup. Everything else is provided.(Shampoo, lotion, hairspray, curling iorns, brushes, razors, etc.)
So if you have several hours in Vegas and you want to spend that time in Heaven than I strongly suggest you come here. Ahhhhh see you in March Qua Spa!!
