"4.5 Stars!!\n\nI MUST be getting older, because the words \"day spas\", \"relaxing\", and \"tea rooms\" are more music to my ears than \"day clubs\" and \"bottle service\" haha!\n\nAs a treat to myself for my birthday, I was researching for the perfect day spa to set my foot in and enjoy maximum zen. I decided to go with Caesar's Palace since they had better reviews of their facility and had a more affordable couple's massage package than other hotels. \n\nI booked my spa treatment and was given a great recommendation by the concierge- the Kama Sutra with Shirodhara for $450. This couple's massage is actually not listed in their website, so I am glad I called. I did ask for a breakdown and confirmation of the price and was promised a couple of times via email that I would receive the information, but ended up receiving the details AFTER I had already received my spa treatment :(\n\nQUA SPA (4 STARS):\nQua is located by the Augustus towers. Take the elevators right behind the Starbucks. You are greeted by friendly staff members who check you in and send you on your way. Knowing that I wanted to spend the whole day here, Andrew D. and I woke up early to get a workout in at their gym before our massage. \n\nThere are separate areas for the men and women, so Andrew D. and I went our own separate ways while dropping off our bags in the locker room. I got a great tour of the facility by Michelle who let me know all the amenities that were available to me during my stay. She saw that my bag was heavy and took it while she gave me the tour and gave me a headband since she noticed I didn't have one when I went to the gym. Thank you Michelle!\n\nSurprisingly though, Andrew D. did not receive the same stellar treatment. He told the men's front desk that it was his first time there and they only showed him to his locker. I had to text him occasionally to make sure he was aware of the different amenities he had.\n\nCaesar's palace fitness center is amazing! They have so many different machines available. The attendants saw that I didn't have any headphones and gave me one to enjoy during my workout! There are bananas, apples, towels, and water bottles a plenty in the front. Their machines feel clean and each one comes with a clean towel ready for your use!\n\nAfter the gym, I took a quick shower, dried my hair, and perused their snack bar! Look to the bottom of the snack bar counter because there is a fridge stocked with cold canned juices and waters galore. Pretzels, bananas, and apples are also available for you there. There is hot tea if that tickles your fancy. I was reading my Games of Thrones book in the tea lounge and was so relaxed I almost dozed off a couple of times.\n\nI tried out the jacuzzi, herbal steam room, and sauna. Each one was glorious!! I could stayed in there for forever! Plus, I love that Qua is not stingy with their waters or towels. They have them in abundance around the facility!\n\nI was a little sad that the Arctic room was out of order and that I didn't get to use the room with the 3 jacuzzis since there were EMTs that were there. But, hopefully they will be available the next time I go!\n\nQua showers are amazing!! They have the rain showerheads which are ALWAYS lovely! My showers here were extra long because of how relaxing it made me feel. I loved that there was a lock to the shower doors and you could hang your robe in a little section so it wouldn't get wet. I am also glad I asked for razors and shaving cream since I had an event to go to that night! They really do have everything imaginable here! Hairdryer, hair curler, mouth wash, toothbrush, brushes, lotion, tampons, showercaps! You name it, they got it!\n\nFor a more zen vibe, I would probably recommend sitting in the Lanconium room. The chairs are heated and it is way more quiet than the spa. There are sounds of hairdryers, television, dryers, chatter around the spa so I loved escaping into the lanconium for peace!!\n\nTHE MASSAGE (5 STARS)\nIf you are looking for a great couple's massage, look no further than the Kama Sutra with Shirodhara ($450) massage. You are probably thinking, god damn, $450? But! Trust me, it is really worth it!! \n\nThe treatment comes with the following:\n- Botanical oil poured onto your third eye chakra.\n- Full body exfoliation with a champagne seed body scrub.\n- Private in-room shower after the full body exfoliation.\n- Massage afterwards with oils.\n\nThe whole treatment for you both is 80 minutes and you each will have a massage therapist working on you both. Walking into the room was breathtaking! There were 2 massage tables with the windows wide open with a beautiful view. We did ask for the blinds to be closed for our treatment so that we could both enjoy the zen-ness of the moment AND also because we were both asked to strip down naked for the massage! The aroma of the oils and thorough massage of every part of my body was pure HEAVEN!! I would definitely recommend this for any couple who want a treat!!"^^ . . "4"^^ . "2014-05-24T00:00:00"^^ .
