Ok so we wanted to book a treatment day of (Sunday) which is no problem in Vegas when everyone leaves Sunday. We first called the Vdara but because it is a smaller property they had less selection. They transferred me to Aria. I like the sleek modern feel of the Aria, and as my brother in law said, it must be new because it doesn't smell bad yet. \n\nThe spa had its ups and downs. I say 3.5 stars.\n\nPros: \n-steam and sauna\n-lots of freebees (even toothbrushes)\n-they gave us come/go privileges so we could take a nap and return\n-very good massage (jennifer)\n-nice art\n-nice meditation room(s) a stone bed one and salt one with \"music chairs\" that you can feel the music in.\n- love love love the massage tables that allow you to be placed in seated position (sort of like the dentist) for part of the treatment.\n- outdoor therapy pool (bummer it is clothing only rather than nude like Psyc in palm springs at the Parker) but because it overlooks the regular pool and is coed, I see the point.\n- 5 different lotion smell options!\n\nCons:\n- the industrial feel. sad but the design is a MISS. I enjoy modern but the wall tiles in the spa are the ones that are normally found on the floor of the lobby of a high-rise. Not good. \n-snack sucked (really? shitty pretzels!? and random apples/bananas). Also while I love free sodas (since they are going to be $5 at the hotel) sodas and bad canned juices are not really appropriate for the spa.\n-steam is WAY WAY to hot a woman ran out crying! \n-they need to start enforcing the rules about cell phones \n-they need to stop letting lame asses buy day passes to use the private therapy pool as opposed to paying for lava (They act like it is a tanning area). If they are going to keep this spa at all elite this must stop. These \"customers\" are cheap, obnoxious and have NO spa etiquette, (probably because they think they are at the poolside bar not a spa. it cant be both and that is really tacky for a spa. Maybe the crappy pretzels and soda are for these customers....)
