I love the spa at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. It is one of the bigger spas on the strip. The staff is very friendly and professional. The waiting area has coffee and tea options as well as some clean and organic snacks and there is a quiet room where you can lay down and relax or pick up a book while you are enjoying your time there.
The locker rooms are nice and big and clean. The lockers are huge so you get enough space to put all of your belongings. The staff is very professional and friendly. The vibe is very relaxing and judgment free.
The main pool area has temperature-controlled pools, including a hot pool, a warm pool, and a cold pool. These are more like plunge pools, but there is plenty of room to stretch out and if no one is in the pool with you, you might even be able to swim back-and-forth.
The lounge area is also spacious and has plenty of seating. There are also water stations where you can grab infused water and, there are towels at almost every corner. In the same area as the pools, there is a dry sauna and a steam room, and both were very clean and smelled good.
While I was enjoying my time in the pool and floating in the pool, I was staring up at the ceiling and noticed that the hotel may need to give the spa ceiling of facelift. You can tell that there is definitely wear and tear and also signs that there is a ton of humidity, I may have even spotted some mold or mold-like spots. That is my only complaint about this place.
While I was there, I got an hour long massage by Alicia. Alicia was amazing and really knew how to work in the areas where I had the most tension. I didn't have to tell her much she could just kind of feel her way and get to it. I was so happy with her service that I gave her extra tip, which, by the way, is already included in the price you pay for the service.
If you are a guest at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino, you can enjoy the spa for a nominal fee, and I highly recommend it, especially if you've been outside or need to unwind at a deeper level.
Besides the ceiling in the pool area, needing a facelift, I also think the Mandalay Bay could do a little better with the shower products they have available for their guests. I was surprised that the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, dried me out and did not leave me feeling soft at all. My hair was very frizzy! OK so that is my second complaint!!
I recommend this place. If you're looking to unwind on the first day you arrive or prior to your departure, I promise you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a more cost-effective alternative, you can scroll through my feed and look for a review on another spa off the strip that I also enjoy.
Have a relaxing time!
Ps. I couldn't take any pictures of the ceiling or the place because phones are not allowed in the spa areas due to privacy concerns. The pool area is bathing suit optional, and of course the areas are gender specific. However, while I was enjoying the pools I did notice three ladies who had their phones out there with them and no one at the spa did anything about it. I think it's very disrespectful that people have their phones on them when there is the potential for photographs to be taken. Not cool! Okay third complaint!! :-) read more
