Best of the Strip: Casino & Hotel Spas

by Bodog Casino | Oct 13 2009

You ever been on a four-day Vegas bender? Of course you have. By day four you have chest pains, your eyes are bloodshot, your back hurts and you have that taste in your mouth - you know that combination of steak, cigarettes and puke? Your body goes from being a pinnacle of stress-free health to a whirlwind of pain.

That’s why, at some point between that 8 a.m. shot of Patron and 48-hour poker match, you need to kick your feet up and relax. How you ask? We suggest a nice trip to the spa.

Here are the best spas on the strip to iron out that full-body hangover.

Achilles 24 Hour Spa and Sauna, Rivera Hotel and Casino

Bouncers rough you up after hitting up a club? You can head to the Achilles 24 Hour Spa and have someone massage out that boot they put up your ass. Enjoy a steam or whirlpool bath or an oxygen pep-up to kill that hangover.

Canyon Ranch Spaclub, Venetian Resort Hotel

134,000 square feet of tranquility. This luxurious spa boasts a health and wellness center, skin care and body treatment rooms and a European-style thermal suite. Oh and a three-story rock-climbing wall. Yeah we’re not quite sure how that fits either.

Four Seasons Spa, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas

Rappers are always talking about chillin’ at the four seasons, we figure this hot little spa is the reason why. This place blends old and new treatments for external health and beauty. Check out the relaxation room to rejuvenate or try some ancient Jamu Asian spa rituals.

Harrah’s Spa, Harrah’s Las Vegas Hotel and Casino

For some reason the Swedes have been blessed with hands like cashmere, so we suggest trying out aromatherapy and Swedish massage at Harrah’s.

If you want some skin care try out body treatments like Jojoba Silk Body Glow or an Ocean Essential Body Wrap. And if you want to get a work out in, the place has got a state-of-the-art health club!

Spa Bellagio, Bellagio

When it comes to being treated like royalty, the Bellagio doesn’t mess around. This soothing spot takes your aching body around the world with Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, Water Massage, Indian Head Massage and Thai Yoga Massage.

Spa and Salon at Encore, Encore Las Vegas

The Encore hotel and casino is relatively new so you know they went all out on their spa. The place has got 51 treatment rooms and is 61,000 square feet! We’re talking an 80-miunute massage that combines heated Thai herbs, a luxurious lemon verbena and peppermint foot treatment, ultra moisturizing hand therapy and a wild lime botanical scalp treatment. Plus, you can attend yoga, Pilates, conditioning and meditation classes!
