| - When I go to Vegas I have started a new tradition to go to the spa and get pampered. My guilty pleasure is massages so why not? My past trip to Vegas I went to the spa at the Bellagio and that is what started my addiction to Vegas spas. This time stayed at Caesar's Palace so it was fitting that I come here this time. This place is tangible proof that heaven exists. When you book a massage or other service you are given full access to the the facilities at the spa all day which makes for relaxing day. My appointment was at 2:00 and I had an 80 minute classic massage. I showed up at 12:00 and spent those two hours in pure bliss. The checked me in right away and gave me a tour of the facility and assigned me a locker to put my things in. One thing I noticed that may seem small but ended up making a difference was the fact that their lockers have a digital combo as opposed to Bellagio's spa where you had to carry around a key. This spa was much more modern and had more to do. My favorite thing was the Roman Baths. They have three whirl pools in there. One is the cold plunge and the other was very hot but the largest of the baths was just warm and that was perfect. It was comfortable enough for you to be able to stay in there for a long time without feeling too hot. Also they had several heated chairs for you to lay and relax in. Down the hall from the Roman Baths they had a very large whirl pool that was 104 degrees. There also had a cold room that had soap suds coming down that looked like snow. They also had a steam room and a sauna. The sauna was excellent and very comfortable. The relaxation lounge where you wait for your appointment was especially comfy as well. They also provided fruit, pretzels, water, coffee, tea and assorted juices for your enjoyment. I enjoyed the spa so much that I made a day out of it and stayed for a while after my massage appointment as well.
Now time for the massage. My therapists name was Christy and she was amazing. The pressure she used was perfect and she really hit my problem areas that I discussed with her. They gave me a choice between lotion and oil and I used the oil. I have had a massage with both lotion and oil and oil is much better. I also got to choose between mango and coconut and I of course chose coconut. She gave me a full massage from head to toe and have me the best scalp and neck massage I ever had. She did very good in the other areas as well but she excelled at the scalp and neck for sure. That 80 minutes flew by but it was amazing and worth every penny. She was very polite and made sure I felt good the entire time.
Their showers for when you are done are great as well. The are like the showers in the room but much larger and the provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It was so great. They also have a very large and fully stocked vanity area for when you are ready to leave as well. They provide lotion, mouthwash, hairspray, mousse, hairdryers, curling irons, flat irons, and hairbrushes and combs. Just bring some makeup with you and you are all set. They make it very easy to make yourself presentable when you leave.
Overall enjoyed this spa very much and you can bet that I will go back again one day. I will just try a different treatment to change things up a bit but I will go back. I highly recommend pampering yourself here. Your body, mind, and soul will thank you.
