| - This was my first-ever spa experience, and I think it might have created a monster. Went with three friends (two of whom were across the hall in the men's spa) on a Friday morning in late February. Each couple signed up for a couples aromatherapy massage. Our friends Matt and Jenn got the 9am appointment, and my boyfriend and I got the 10am.
With Jenn at her massage appointment, I was left to my own devices on arrival. The receptionist provided us (me and a few people who'd arrived at the same time as me) with our robes and gave us a brief tour of the facilities. Everything was clean and inviting, and very few people were there that early in the morning, which was a nice plus. I admit, my first walk through the changing area gave me a middle school gym class flash back or two, but I held strong and got over myself. Hooray for growth!
I popped on my bathing suit (yeah, so I didn't *entirely* get over myself...) and headed for the hot tubs. Had one all to myself, actually. Spent some time relaxing and thinking about how someday, when I strike it rich, my bathroom will resemble this spa and, before I knew it, it was massage time.
It took some convincing to get me to sign up for this massage. I'd never had a professional massage before, and wasn't thrilled about the idea of a stranger touching my naked body. But people seem to love massages. And Spa Mandalay is a reputable, highly recommended establishment. And this was my first real vacation in forever. And I went for it. And thank goodness I did!
I don't remember the name of my masseuse, but she was great. I told her I was a first-timer and told her I was ticklish, and she took everything into account and you know what?! After a few minutes, it wasn't weird!! Hooray for even more growth!
Post-massage, Jenn and I decided to get pedicures (we were officially in it for the long haul). My pedicurist was very sweet and attentive, and did a really nice job. After that, more hot tub time, plus a trip to the sauna and stream room.
By this time (1-2pm-ish) the common spaces were much more crowded. I'd highly recommend coming earlier in the day (or maybe later, though I can't personally vouch for that). I we hadn't had dinner reservations and show tickets for that night you can bet we would've stayed longer, or left and come back later.
Overall, LOVED IT! Would definitely come back on future trips to Vegas. And, for better or worse, already looking into spas in the Boston area.
