Las Vegas - Best Spa in Vegas?

Surprisingly, doing a search came up empty...I was certain this topic had been covered before.

Who has the best Spa in Vegas - not just the most expensive or the fanciest, but the one that best balances services menu, service, quality and price. Canyon Ranch at Venetian is probably tops, but their prices are very high for even the most basic services

We will be at the Bellagio right after Pres. Day Weekend and thought treating the S/O's folks to a massage and facial would be a nice touch...is that a good place to try?

The spa @ teh Bellagio is more than above par, and if your staying there I wouldnt go anywhere else.

My favorite spa in Vegas though is "The Bathhouse" at The Hotel @ Mandalay

Thank you. I was leaning towards that option and I think it's probably the best bet (pardon the pun).

The Canyon Ranch Spa is nice but expansive and crowded during weekends. Wynn is pretty good and what I consider somewhere between Venetian and Bellagio. If you want a spa that's more cozy then I recommend Four Seasons. Not all of their treatments are done onsite, some are done at the Mandalay Bay so ask if that makes a difference for you.

I thought Canyon Ranch was very disappointing. My favorite, but it's a drive, is the Ritz Carlton at Lake Las Vegas

As part of my compted stay offers, the Venetian keeps sending me free passes to the Canyon Ranch... never went there (or to any spa).

(The passes are non-transferrable, so don't ask!).

opus17 thank you so very much for that info :)

bocastephen Bellagio spa is very nice & I have heard Canyon Ranch is a ok 2nd choice

The spa at the Marriott in Summerlin (way-off-Strip).

I have heard (but not been to) The Green Valley Ranch Casino has an excellent spa, for a decent price. If you go to the Station Casino website, or Google "Green Valley Ranch Casino", you can see some photos and get more info.

It is about a 15 minute drive from The Strip - but the casino itself is worth a visit and there is a nice, outside shopping district (cleverly named, The District) directly next door that is worth a stroll and has some nice restaurants and shops.

Ritz Carlton Spa is definitely the best; Mercedes is my preferred stylist there.
Spa has top notch facilities and very peaceful atmosphere.
I am picky so I should know,lol.

While I am NOT in the position to say if it is the "best" spa in Vegas; I have had very positive experiences at Mandara Spa at Paris Las Vegas.

The massages (and hot stone massages) were excellent, and the Spa areas (sauna, whirlpool etc.) were very nice and NOT very crowded. The fitness center was also nice, but nothing too out of the ordinary. As a courtesy to the hotel, they give Diamond and 7 Star Harrah's members -25% off of all SPA services; which makes the treatments very reasonable. Also, free access to the fitness center and Spa areas was very nice on my non-treatment days.

For salon services, I always recommend AMP Salon at Palms. AMP does an incredible job, and the staff is very consistent. In addition, they have very little turnover, and you can almost always get the same person for your appointment. Kristie is amazing, and I highly recommend her as a hair stylist.

Be aware that not all hotel spa's will allow you to visit unless you are actually staying at the hotel. The Bellagio spa requires you to be staying at the Bellagio and the MGM Grand also. It is worth checking ahead to find out whether the spa you are interested in has this policy.

I had a treatment at the Elemis spa at the Aladdin a couple of weeks ago. The facilities are a little limited, there's a jaccuzi, steam room, sauna and general relaxation room, BUT the treatment was trully amazing and that is what really matters IMO. My wife and I took a couples swedish massage therapy and added on a foot massage for an extra $20.

There is a 21% service charge which includes a 15% gratuity for your therapist, we chose to boost that up to 20% for a few more $. We found the overall price to be quite reasonable considering the quality of the treatment.

The Qua Spa at Caesars Palace is supposed to be amazing, it has a room where it snows, but we found it to be on the expensive side.
