The grand opening of CityCenter is now just a few short weeks away, but for those dying to get a peek of what the massive project has in store for Las Vegas, here’s a look at what’s sure to be one of the most lavish spas to hit the Strip: The Spa at ARIA.

Opening with ARIA Resort & Casino Dec. 16, the two-level, 80,000-square-foot spa and salon will bring salt, stone, earth, fire and water together to create a spa experience that will elevate guests to a meditative state for introspection and relaxation. Available exclusively to the guests of CityCenter’s hotels (book your room now!), the spa will feature 62 treatment rooms, a 16,000-square-foot fitness center, a boutique, poolside cabanas and Las Vegas’ first co-ed spa balcony (pictured right), featuring an outdoor therapy pool and views of ARIA’s spectacular poolscape. In addition to skincare and massage rooms, the spa will feature ashiatsu, couples’ massage, Thai massage, hydro-therapy and Vichy rooms as well as three exclusive spa suites, each serving as a personal “spa within a spa.” The suites will include luxurious amenities, a striking design complemented by serene Aji stone walls and natural light, a lounge area with entertainment offerings, vanity, lockers, a personal steam shower and a three-person hydrotherapy tub. Guests will be able to customize their journey from the selection of first-class spa and salon services and gourmet dining options to flower arrangements, gift baskets and more. Suites will serve up to eight people, and spa packages will range from a three-hour series of treatments to the 12-hour VIP experience. 

From the moment guests enter The Spa at ARIA, they’ll be welcomed by a tranquil stone and water garden adorned with sacred Japanese Aji stones, blessed in Japan to inspire calmness and tranquility. Natural light flowing through floor-to-ceiling windows will awaken the senses and dance in harmony with the water garden in a mesmerizing rhythm. Soothing music and signature scents will ease guests’ tension as panoramic views of Las Vegas’ sprawling mountain ranges and ARIA’s lush poolscape evoke peace and prepare guests for a mental escape.

As far as the treatment and relaxations rooms go, treatment room walls will be made from earthy soil to provide an indigenous, warm feeling. A unique salt meditation room (“shio,” pictured left) will feature a wall of illuminated salt bricks that encourages the healing of skin irritations and upper respiratory problems. Adorned with salt lamps and lounge chairs that provide vibration therapy in rhythm to sensual music, salt-infused air will leave guests with radiant and dewy skin. A second meditation room will be the only in the country to offer Japanese stone sauna (“ganbanyoku”) beds. During a ganbanyoku treatment, guests will relax upon a bed of heated black mineral stone that emits negative ions and far-infrared rays. In addition to relaxing muscles, the treatment will help improve blood circulation, increase metabolism and eliminate toxins from the body. A fire lounge will serve as a place for relaxation before or following treatments.

In addition to the spa and its many amenities, a full-service salon will also be available to CityCenter’s guests and open to the public as well, featuring 16 stylist stations, six color stations, four makeup stations, 12 manicure stations, 15 pedicure stations, one barber station and one waxing station. Both the spa and the salon will begin accepting reservations on Nov. 9. To schedule your appointment, call 877-312-ARIA (2742) or 702-590-9600.
