How to Relax, Vegas-style

Las Vegas is a 24-hour city, known for its nonstop excitement and over-the-top glitz—but even the hardest partier needs to unwind. And, Vegas being Vegas, even its spas take relax to the max. Think diamond-dust facials, snakeskin pedicures, snow treatments in the desert. Whatever you’re looking for in Vegas, there’s a spa for every personality.

Get Glam

The Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas sprinkles a little diamond dust across its line of luxe treatments created by Natura Bissé—from a facial that evens out skin tone to a magnetic lift body treatment.

Go for the Exotic

Are animal skins your thing? When a normal pedicure just isn’t enough, head to Vdara Hotel & Spa for a snakeskin pedicure done with actual snakeskin. PETA will be happy to hear that there’s also a faux version.

Travel the World

The Nobu Hotel Nagomi Ritual at Caesars Palace starts with a floral foot bath and moves on to a blend of Thai, Balinese, and Shiatsu massage before ending with a Carboxitherapy facial to fight the effects of aging.

Bring the Spa to Your Room

At the MGM Grand, the new Stay Well hotel rooms let you continue the experience even when you’re not in the spa. Using wellness techniques from the Cleveland Clinic and Deepak Chopra, the rooms offer Vitamin C showers, air purification, aromatherapy diffusers, and a menu of healthy food designed by nutritionists. And if you feel like getting up after a night on the town, a dawn simulator alarm clock uses increasing levels of sound and light for a gentle awakening.

Get Fit

Spa days usually bring to mind salads and smoothies, foot soaks and hand massages—but at Canyon Ranch at The Venetian, you can get fit with cardio equipment and weight rooms, Pilates, yoga and dance studios, even a 40-foot-high indoor rock-climbing wall.

Make it a Party

Take over the co-ed Roman bathhouse at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Reliquary Spa with 50 of your besties. This is the Hard Rock, after all, so in addition to music-themed massages, you can order up bottle service and bring in a DJ to get the party started.

How About a Party for Two?

At the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, a VIP elevator whisks you straight up to the private Sahra Suite—decked out with a pair of massage tables, side-by-side whirlpool tubs, two flat-screen TVs, a steam room and even a wet bar. You might never want to leave.

Chill Out

When it’s 110 degrees outside, the place to retreat is Qua Baths & Spa in Caesars Palace. In the Arctic Ice Room, snowflakes fall from the sky, the air is scented with mint and a fountain of ice keeps things cool.

For the Boys

Spas aren’t just for girls, as the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas proves with its macho treatments. Get your back exfoliated, cleansed and kneaded in the High Roller massage; the 90-minute Tao of Man kneads out stiff muscles and joints.
