At the end of the hall there are three large crystals on display with a backdrop painting of a peacock. While you’re waiting for your therapy, you’ll be escorted into a co-ed room where you can kick your feet up in a recliner.īut the best part is walking into the therapy hall, accented with gold decor, European furnishings, with a glow emanating from floor lanterns. The lounge rooms come complete with soothing music, the aroma of yuzu and white tea, snacks, and even a large television and fireplace. ![]() ![]() When you walk into the 1,900-square-foot spa, you immediately step into an oasis of rest and relaxation.

The Spa at Encore featured wonderful wet areas, a steam, sauna, heated tiled lounge chairs, numerous Jacuzzis, and a very lovely relaxation room with a magnificent selection of teas and water.The fun doesn’t end at the Encore Boston Harbor casino when you’ve had enough of the black jack tables and your luck has run out at the slot machines. Lani was an extremely skilled therapist and I would highly recommend the treatment for anyone looking to have an over-the-top Las Vegas wellness experience.Ī final note: While treatments in Las Vegas are not inexpensive they really deliver true value when one allows enough time to take advantage of the spa facilities.

However, you might be surprised to learn that there is a lot of wellness to be had in Las Vegas and you don’t have to look too hard to find it. In fact, some may argue they are a complete contradiction. It’s not often “ wellness” and “Las Vegas” go hand-in-hand. ![]()
