Refresh: Las Vegas spa treatments for biz travelers

Envigorating Vegas: The spa at Mandalay Bay offers treatments created for business travelers.

By Mark Chesnut

As the saying goes, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” It can also make him a tired, stressed-out boy — and it was with that in mind that a group of Las Vegas hotels have created a new array of mini-spa treatments designed specifically for weary, time-pressed business travelers.

At the Bellagio, guests can smooth worry lines at Spa Bellagio with a 25-minute Instant Refresher Facial that includes an enzyme-based peel, anti-stress face and neck massage and skin-perfecting mask. The spa also offers a 20-minute Refresher Mini-Massage, created for business travelers who’ve spent too long seated in front of their computers.

Spa Mandalay, at Mandalay Bay, recognizes that people traveling to Las Vegas on business often don’t have much time to indulge. The facility offers a 25-minute version of all of their treatments, including replenishing sessions for dehydrated skin, a eucalyptus steam wrap and an orange peel body puff, which is designed to revitalize the senses while sloughing away dead skin cells.

The Spa & Salon at ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter has introduced a Business Traveler Quick Fix menu, filled with workout, spa and salon services, including a 30-minute kettle bell training class that helps pump more oxygen to the brain– ideal, perhaps, for staying alert when a not-very-exciting meeting appears on the work schedule.

What to do if you can’t even leave the conference room? Spa Bellagio, Spa Mandalay and The Spa & Salon at ARIA have you covered, with in-chair foot and back massages performed by therapists who travel right to the meeting space. Probably a good idea to warn colleagues before you do that.
