Lately the Pierce Mattie PR staff have been visiting different Secrets Resorts around the globe. I can honestly say I'm a little envious because I'd love to escape and relax in one of their luxurious resort/spas. If you saw my post last December, then you know I am ready for a vacation. All of this got me thinking about places within the United States that offer world class spa’s and I was surprised to find Las Vegas on that list. Traveling out of the country may be difficult with a newborn, but going to Las Vegas is completely doable.
When most of us think of Las Vegas the big lights, the casinos, the wedding chapels and the saying, “What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas,” all come to mind. We all know Las Vegas is a playground for families and it’s been this way for years. However, there has been change in the air in Vegas in recent years. While all of the above will never go away, it defines the city after all—it is it’s brand image, there is a trend arising and one that the city is sure not complaining about. Las Vegas is becoming the destination hotspot for beauty, fashion and all things luxury. All one needs to do is look at the world class international dining, miles of pools that can rival its casino’s (such as the pool atop the main casino at the Venetian), and even the Guggenheim is opening its doors in Las Vegas this Spring.
My favorite, of course, would have to be the upscale spas and salons that are now the big attraction for those looking to indulge in the ultimate pampering. Spas like Canyon Ranch SpaClub and the Spa Bellagio cater to your every whim, while your hair can enjoy the hands of top celebrity hair stylists like Cristophe and Michael Boychuck and their respective salons at the MGM Grand and The Palms.
Caesar’s Palace has one of the top spas in Vegas with its elite Qua Baths & Spa.
Qua Baths and Spa is a luxurious retreat that taps into the natural, healing powers of water to bring you a one-of-a-kind experience. Bathed in natural light, accented by smooth stone flooring, dark woods and cascading waterfalls.”Qua Baths & Spa also offers the “social spa-ing” experience with their Signature Roman Rituals where spa goers can relax in any of their three distinct pools that vary in both temperature and size. Social spa-ing is a new concept in the spa world and offers a luxurious way to be pampered with those who share your love of the spa. Qua Baths & Spa also offers a unique experience in their Arctic Ice Room where real snowflakes fall from above for an exclusive spa treatment you can’t find anywhere else.
World-class shopping is now available for those who seek it. Why spend your dough in the casino when you could use that cash in Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana or Dior? High-end fashion is all the rave in Vegas and there is no shortage of places to shop for the latest off the runway designs. Fendi, Prada, Valentino, Carolina Herrera, among many others, line the Strip of Vegas much to the delight of the fashion addicted heading to the city of lights.
Eating out and taking in a show no longer means dining at the casino’s gritty restaurants and watching classic Vegas acts belt out a tune. When in Vegas you can now dine on gourmet fare at places run by top chefs such as Fleur de Lys, Seablue and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. Afterwards you can find the great entertainment the city has to offer by going to see Mamma Mia, Blue Man Group or Cirque du Soleil.
If you haven’t thought of Las Vegas as your destination for sophistication and luxury, maybe its time to take another look at all they have to offer. You may be surprised at what you find.
