. "ESPA at VDARA was a pleasant experience. After checking into the hotel for a New Years Eve stay, I booked a Men's Purifying Facial to help me close out the year.\n\nThe receptionist Tiffany, was welcoming, friendly and thorough explaining how the process works. She suggested I arrive to the spa 45 minutes before my scheduled appointment( so I can take in the the amenities before my facial ).\n\nTaking heed I got there early, which Tiffany checked me in and sent me on my way.\n\nPaul, the Men's Spa personnel gave me a tour of the Men's spa vicinity, set me up with locker, rob and flip flops and called me once it was time for my facial. \n\nHe was very personable and attentive without being overbearing or a nuisance.\n\nI was impressed with the sauna, steam room, showers and how well kept the area was.\n\nOnce I got set up with my facial, Alisa took good care of me. Very good vibe from this professional as she exfoliated my pores for a good while. \n\nIt felt amazing. There were moments when I felt soapy, gel, tingling, cool, intense scrub, warm, sticky, smooth, lightly aggressive( if that makes sense ) and even a moss like feeling over my face. \n\nAlisa even massaged my shoulders, upper chest and scalp. In that 50 minutes my face took a roller coaster of an array of astonishing feelings that were conducive to cleansing and exfoliating my pores. \n\nThe facial was peaceful and I came away from it feeling rejuvenated. Once Alisa finished she showed me the meditation room which I gladly obliged. I relaxed there in tranquility and shortly after concluded my spa treatment.\n\nChristopher the supervisor settled my payment which he was also personable and even gave me advice on how to maneuver the Vegas NYE crowd.\n\nAll in all the spa was a great experience which left a lasting impression. Somewhat pricey but definitely worth it. What made it even more worth it was all the players( spa employees) who made this experience professional, relaxing, personable and most of all-welcoming. I will definitely be back!"^^ . "2016-01-01T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . "5"^^ . "5"^^ . . . "0"^^ .
