| - My husband spoiled me with an afternoon at the salon and spa at the Encore. From start to finish, it was so amazing!
I started with a pedicure at the salon. The chairs faced a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, giving an incredible view of Vegas! My tech offered me a glass of champagne (it was 10am, but it's a $100 pedicure in Vegas--GO FOR IT!), and I graciously accepted.
The actual pedicure was great. The water felt great, the products smelled yummy, and the foot/calf massage and moisturizing masque felt wonderful! Combined with 2 glasses of bubbles and an amazing view of the city, it was perfect. If you get a treatment at the salon, you get to enjoy the spa as well--it's a great deal since a day spa pass is $40 on its own, I believe.
After my pedicure, I walked down the hall to the reception area of the spa. Try to take it all in! There is so much detail, so much luxurious, ornate decor, that I was overwhelmed with how beautiful it all was. And this was just the reception area--I hadn't even gone back yet! After check-in, I was brought back by a spa attendant who gave me a tour of the facility.
While the attendant grabbed some slippers for me, I helped myself to some infused water from the drink station. Coffee and herbal teas were also available. I was then given a tour. There is one main hallway, and several rooms along the side. There are several locker areas, restrooms, private dressing area, a sauna, showers, and plenty of bottled water, iced towels, and cucumbers along the way. At the end of the hallway is a large wet area with two long jacuzzis with carved seats (no awkward eye contact with others, lol), cold plunge pool, a room with waterfall showers, and a row of heated stone seats. I had to get ready for my massage so I only had a quick peak at everything.
After changing into my cushy robe, I went to the Relaxation Area where you wait for your treatment. Plush couches, low lighting, and another drink/snack station. I only waited a couple of minutes before my therapist came for me.
The walk down the hallway to the treatment rooms is INSANE. Breathtakingly jaw-dropping. It's a moment in time you won't forget! Take it all in!!
My massage was unreal. My therapist was so therapeutic, in addition to being relaxing. It was so worth every penny! She worked on an old neck injury I had, and even showed me some stretching techniques I could do at home to help.
After the massage, I was walked back out to the spa, and had the rest of the day to enjoy the facility. After trying out everything, I was ready for a real nap (or a Vodka Red Bull! Lol), so I got dressed to leave. They have shower amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, razors, shaving cream, mouthwash, and hair accessories if you choose to get ready here. But, I opted to head back to my room, and was reminded that I could come back anytime I wanted to for the rest of the day!
It's a splurge, but totally worth it! Do it!!
