Best Spas in Las Vegas, Nevada

Live It Up in Lavish Las Vegas Spas

For sheer size and extravagance, Las Vegas is one of the great spa destinations in the United States. The spa facilities are as flashy and lavish as the hotels they’re in. But it's not all show -- the city attracts excellent great massage therapists. Here are my picks for the best spas in Las Vegas -- on the Strip and off.

Best Spas in Las Vegas - On The Strip

  Spa Bellagio is one of the larger spas in Las Vegas, with 55,000 square feet and 54 treatments rooms. One signature treatment is watsu where a therapist cradles you in a special pool of water heated to your body temperature. The hotel is styled after a Tuscan town, with an extravagant fountain timed to music out front and colorful Dale Chihuly sculpture in the lobby.



• Canyon Ranch SpaClub At The Venetian, Las Vegas

  Even in the heart of Las Vegas there’s a true spa retreat where you can eat a healthy meal, scale a 40 foot rock-climbing wall, hear lectures on nutrition AND get a great massage.
