| - After a night out, I decided I needed me-time, so I dropped into the spa in hopes of finding a relaxing treatment to end my trip in Vegas on a good note. The front desk was very helpful and friendly; they directed me to the treatment pamphlet which included all of the foot massages. After choosing one and changing my mind about 10 minutes later, they were quick to accommodate me. I was able to get an appointment in a half an hour.
This place is huge. I later on learned from my masseuse that this is one of the largest spas in the world. Close to 140,000 sq ft! Crazy. The hallways are long and confusing but the facilities are nice.
First, my massage. It started 10 minutes late and ended on time a.k.a. I was paying $155 (weekend price is more than a weekday price - $175 - but I was able to get a $20 discount) for a 40 minute massage when it should've been 50 minutes. Kind of a pet peeve to be paying that much but having the experience be shortened. My masseuse was great though. I got a reflexology massage (my first focused foot massage), and it definitely helped my entire body feel better. He was also able to explain everything thoroughly when I alerted him of any pains I was feeling. He was right on the money with my health issues whenever he'd hit a pressure point and I'd ask him about it. It was an awesome learning experience for me.
Second, the spa area. I stayed on the ladies only side and didn't get a chance to check out the coed areas. The one thing I surprisingly found very soothing, yet I was too chicken to fully stand in, was the igloo. Whoever's brave enough to stand under there has major guts, but I checked out the different rain features which included aromas.
The showers are nice, and I love the eucalyptus spray.
Overall, I had a good experience. From what I've read, some people complain about the crowds. I went on a Sunday, so I might've gotten lucky and escaped the crowds. I just wish I had more time to check out the coed area. Maybe next time!
