text: I was in much need of some relaxation time so I ventured off to The Spa at Aria It is located right next to the pool on the second level promenade As you walk in there is a shop where you can purchase lotions bathing suits and a lot of other overpriced spaish amenities Admission to The Spa is for hotel guests and for nonhotel guests so you can still enjoy a day of luxurious relaxation even though you are staying at CircusCircus I was given a wristband and as I walked down the hall I got a glimpse of their workout facilities The gym was large clean did not smell like a wet sock and had the shiniest gym equipment I have ever seen This was not your typical hour fitness The gym also came complete with complimentary bottles of water and towels Across the way was a lounge area for people to sit down and check their emails inbetween dumbbell curls nnNo gym for me though I was here for pure spa bliss only and I was not left disappointed As I walked in I was greeted by the most luxurious mens loungennI was able to sip green tea eat a banana and watch some Winter Olympics Heaven The lounge comes complete with magazines newspapers bananas oranges apples sodas fruit juice pretzels peanuts They lay out the red carpet for you and the spa had so much food you did not even have to leave for lunch nnThe rainfall showers came stocked with mandarin shampoo conditioner and body wash In the bathroom there was razors shaving creams toothbrushes and basically any hair product you can imagine There were also multiple scents of lotion incase you are a picky gentleman Lockers came complete with robes and the attendant gives you a pair of sandals to walk around in nnnAria has jacuzzis and they are all different temperatures with one of them being a cold plunge There were lounge chairs that you could recline all the way down and actually sleep on I took a hour nap in one of them Which got me thinking If I ever needed a place to sleep I could always come to the spa no resort fees here The loveliest of lavender scents perfumed the steam room and the sauna was hot and uncomfortable When is a sauna ever comfortable Sorry I hate saunas Outside was a coed swimming area so do not forget your bathing suit when going outside no skinny dipping in this poolnnDown the hall from the mens lounge was a salt room that had comfortable chairs and serene music Also across from the salt room were some hot stone beds that made my back feel like a million bucks There was also another lounge to relax in How many lounges does one spa neednnI spent the whole day here and left feeling relaxed and ready to take on the world again I think The Spa at Aria is a place you must go to if you feel like you need a day to yourself to just relax Admission is free with purchase of a massage or facial those are very pricy though But if it is anything like their facilities I am sure it would be worth every penny
