| - I've used Aquavana at the Canyon Ranch SpaClub multiple times and I've never had a bad experience. If you're a guest at the Venetian or Palazzo you're charged $20 to use Aquavana...it's the best deal going. Once you check-in you're handed a robe and slippers and you have full use of the facility. So what is Aquavana? It's a locker room with so much more. Once you change (clothing optional but at a minimum you should wear a towel around your waist) you head to the back where they have a whirlpool that erupts like a volcano, heated recliners, steam room, igloo room (40 degrees and at a push of a button you are misted), experiential showers (three buttons that either mist or provide a torrential downpour), Finnish sauna, and a herbal sauna (a little cooler than the regular sauna but more relaxing). They also offer a quiet room with recliners if you want to take a nap, a big HDTV for watching ESPN, fruit, chilled water, and private showers with nice bath products. And oh yes, a multitude of grooming products to get you ready for the day. All for $20.
You can also head to the communal conservatory (this is where you wait for your massage treatment if you booked one) and they have a salt room and a really cool room that you lay down on recliners and watch a ceiling that looks like breaking waves. My wife and I always do these two rooms.
Although I haven't received any massages, my wife received a foot massage and said it was well worth the price (their regular massages are pretty expensive though). They also have a fitness facility at the Palazzo which is right next to the check-in desk and a large fitness facility down the hall at the Venetian, and both have a great selection of equipment.
This is hands-down a great experience and it really gets you relaxed which can be hard to do in Vegas!
