Vegas' top spas

The women's hot whirlpool area at BATHHOUSE

With so many spas in Las Vegas, it can be hard deciding just which spa to go to, which is why so many people choose to simply book an appointment at their resort’s spa. And while every spa in Las Vegas offers plenty of relaxing treatments to help rejuvenate one’s mind, body and soul, not every spa offers the same lavish amenities to help guests relax before or after their treatment. So where should you go if you want to spend an entire day at the spa escaping the stress of everyday life? Here’s a quick look at five Las Vegas spas that never disappoint.
