Las Vegas is known as the City that Never Sleeps, and it’s worked hard to build that reputation. During the day, the Nevada sun beats down on the well-traveled streets as Vegas residents and tourists alike share the bustling sidewalks, elevators, and escalators to get from place to place. There are sites to see and adventures to have everywhere you look, and as the sun goes down, the city shifts gears for nights full of glowing neon, dancing feet, and shuffling cards.
If this sounds like it would tire you out instead of energizing you, maybe it is time to consider something a little more slow-paced for your Vegas visit. Choose from these spa-centric destinations, some in close proximity to the city and others a short distance away, for the most relaxing and rejuvenating Vegas experience you've ever had.
With more than 100 spa and beauty services, 13 fitness and movement services, and a nutrition and food program, the Canyon Ranch Spa and Salon is one of the top choices on our list of Las Vegas salons. The spa’s menu of services is so extensive that it can be a little intimidating at first, but Canyon Ranch is the name to beat in modern, innovative, and high-quality treatments and experiences.
This spa’s integrative approach to wellness takes the whole body and mind into consideration and provides treatment and experience options that can work together to replenish and repair you, body and soul. This facility is informed by 40 years of integrative wellness experience, so the staff knows what they're doing and do it well. Facial treatments, hair care, barber services, nail care, Ayurvedic treatments, Eastern and energy therapies, massages, and more populate the spa and salon menu. Body composition screening, exercise, compression therapy, yoga, percussion therapy, rock climbing, and more make up the fitness services menu. What more could you wish for?
This is a day spa, so no room options are available, but the host of hotels and smaller accommodations in Vegas and Henderson can accommodate you in comfort and luxury.
Immerse yourself in every wind-down, workout, or pampering service you could ever want at the MGM Grand Spa and Salon. If you’re looking for a set of premier services that can offer you a chance to meet your best self, you’ll find it here.

Along with the 30 treatment rooms for privacy when you're enjoying your personalized treatments, the spa offers a selection of whirlpools, saunas, and lounges where you can pause between experiences. The treatment menu is extensive, to say the least, offering nail, hair, and makeup services that will get guests glammed and ready for any event. There are massages for singles and couples, facials, skin enhancements, and body therapies to leave you glowing and refreshed. If you prefer to stay energized and keep up with a fitness routine, you can do that at the well-equipped fitness center.
Caesar’s really lives up to its Roman name when it comes to Qua Baths and Spa. One of the most unique and exciting features of the spa is, as the name implies, the Roman Baths that are available for spa guests to enjoy. These baths were first used by the Romans to harness the natural healing powers of water in many locations across the world, including Las Vegas. Relax and let the waters soothe and calm any stress you brought with you.
At Qua, you step into a world of relaxation that offers everything from invigorating facials and body treatments to combination experiences and couples packages tailored for those who love to relax and replenish together. Contrast therapy is a particular favorite at the Qua Salon. Contrasting hot and cold therapies stimulate the body and restore the mind for the ultimate detox or an addition to your recovery practices.
Ceasar’s Palace offers incredible in-house accommodations, from double rooms to executive suites, so you don't have to engage with the crowds on the streets of Vegas if that's not something you really want to do. There are dining options aplenty at the hotel, too, including celebrity chef restaurants like Hell’s Kitchen and Amalfi, as well as a selection of coffee houses, pastry-focused locations, a food hall, a buffet, and more.
The Awana Spa at Resorts World claims to be the first of its kind: a truly immersive experience offering personalized treatments, approachable wellness treatments and experiences, and state-of-the-art facilities. The spa manages to be both modern, with machines and practices harvested from wellness and pampering routines all over the world, and warm thanks to its adherence to the principle of the Golden Ratio; rounded rooms, curved walls, and impeccably thought-out interior design are present throughout. All of this comes together to create a transformative and holistic wellness experience.
Spa guests can make use of treatments inspired by both ancient and modern rituals from the East and West, and the spa’s unique social approach to many treatments adds a new element to the proceedings. One of the most unique treatments on the menu is a Sauna-Meister-led journey that revolves around hot and scented steam directed towards you through the rhythmical movements of “towel dancing”. The Awana Spa seeks to create a deeper connection between guests and the world around them through things like crystal healing and their “fountain of youth”. There is also a fitness center in the complex, so you can get in as many workouts as you'd like if you're staying at the hotel.
Guest rooms are available at The Hilton, the Conrad, and the Crockford Las Vegas, as they all fall within the Resorts World Complex. Each hotel has its own unique signature, but each provides rooms and suites (as well as wheelchair-accessible rooms) furnished with comfortable, high-quality pieces and gorgeous finishes.
Reimagine Las Vegas as a place filled with calling rituals that contribute to a slow life. Indulge in self-care, rest and relaxation, exquisite comfort, and the best food that Nevada has to offer while you’re here for a wellness experience that will change you for good.
