| - Indulgence is necessary every so often to remind yourself that you are lucky to have a good job in such a crappy economy. Transition to the Spa at New York New York. Massages and other Spa treatments are often necessary for the sports athlete and such but are sheer luxury when it comes to the regular peeps like me. Add to that the 2 treatments for $170 deal that they were offering, pen me in.
The Spa is reachable from all towers via the 3rd floor so no need to tread the casino crowd in order to get to your destination. Once you walk in the lobby, it's very serene. Nice quiet mood music and nice quiet voices from the front desk. We quickly filled out the paperwork and were checked in quickly.
As you separate into Men's and Women's, there's a nice little gym with all the necessary amenities. There was water and snacks for a nominal fee here so i was a little disappointed at first. As I walked into the Men's lounge and shower area, I was quickly appeased by the full range of cold water, juices, fruits, and granola bars: all complementary. Good thing because I was hungry and didn't want my stomach making crazy noises during my treatments.
I changed into my robe, took a shower, grabbed some fruit and a water, lounged on the sofa, and watched television until my appointment time arrived.
I was taken into a small room aptly named Energy and was left to disrobe and get relaxed under the sheets. The music and aromatherapy chosen was called Calming. My therapist was very professional and very calming. Her voice was really soft and soothing.
Environmental Escape - A combination of tropical ingredients to form a type of mud that is put all over your body. They then wrap you up with towels, plastic, and more sheets to make a burrito. Add to that, they give you a facial and scalp massage while the mud heats up your body. Wow. Scalp massages rock!
After a little relaxation, you have to shower to get all the mud off and then i was escorted back to the room to receive my 2nd treatment, A Customized Escape Massage.
Customized Escape Massage - Basically they ask what you want to concentrate on and the type of pressure you would like. I had just run a long while the day before so I asked to work my legs and shoulders with good pressure. She was spot on with her technique and placements. I was in heaven.
After quietly whispering that it was complete, I got dressed and waddled back to the locker room to take a finishing shower and relaxed in the whirlpool for a bit. I drank a lot of water and was ready to conquer the world.
It was not the biggest Spa by any means nor was it the most luxurious, but when it comes down to it, if the staff is great, your Spa will be great. Thanks to the team here and I will definitely come back if we stay at NYNY again.
