This review is based on the fact that we rolled into XY Foot Spa seven deep after gorging on all you can eat sushi at Yama Sushi (try the Lake Mead Striper roll--it's delicious!)...can't beat the price and I can't believe I drank the King's cup...that's another story though. This is about tootsies not about sushi. So we move forward..onward and without fail..
Our feet were tired, because you had been walking through my mind all day long. The nice young man told us he could accommodate a large party and it would be a few minutes. Keep in mind this is not the Four Season's Bali--this is a foot reflexology place in China town in Vegas--it is five stars for what it is--not five stars compared to something it is not.
Needless to say our evening adventure was topped off with intense giggling while we waited. It did take about 15 minutes to round the team up--and it was worth the wait. I am 95% convinced that our large party interrupted a family Game of Thrones or House of Cards binge watching session on Netflix. Employees were called in from throughout the valley, some arrived likely via Helicopter. I believe that all of the employees are related and I have nothing but respect for family run operations. At least two people were probably up studying and I wish them the best in their endeavors to cure sickness and disease. Most of the staff had on T-shirts/what they were at home chilling in prior to our unexpected arrival. Who cares. They were all great!
Being in a visitor in China Town the thought crossed my mind that something bad would happen--would my wallet go missing? Would my wife disappear while I was under the influence of foot massage bliss? It didn't. We felt safe and secure...and magic happened.
Once the team arrived our feet were soaked in hot water. My wife and I shared a very comfortable open room and the massage tables were very comfy--I melted into mine as the stress melted off like butter left on a plate in the Nevada summer sun. The giggling of our friends in the adjacent "rooms" (not really rooms, just shoulder high partitions) mixed with the bubbling of the aquarium. Then the soothing music turned on and everything changed.
Silence fell across the land. Peace and tranquility flowed through the space. I drifted in and out of consciousness. Ancient toxins were released. All anxiety and fears disbursed into the outer reaches of space, never again to return.
The massage was long, relaxing and thorough. I especially liked how she focused on the tendons and areas around my knee and shin that you never think to massage. I honestly believe that my massage therapist (the matriarch) wanted me to feel comfortable and be healed. She tapped into everything that was hurting (I actually thought that I had appendicitis the last few days---she rubbed something in my arch that opened my 3rd, 4th and 5th eyes...I believe that for a moment I was in a parallel healing dimension.
For $39.99 to feel refreshed after hoofing around Vegas in July it is a small price to pay. I would recommend this place to anyone. When Space X offers trips to Mars save the $5 million price tag and just drop a few Andrew Jacksons...at XY. The will help you find your Z..e.n.
