Hotel spas, like most amenities in Las Vegas, are designed to wow and envelop guests in sheer bliss -- which only makes the competition that much stiffer. After visiting all the spas and weighing them against each other, we considered not only their size and reputation, but also the breadth and originality of treatments, the comfort and design of the facilities, and the level of service from the staff. Whether you need to cleanse and rejuvenate your body after a night of hardcore Vegas fun or unwind after a trade show, these spas are our top picks for pampering.
The Waldorf Astoria’s two-story spa features 17 treatment rooms, relaxation lounges, steam rooms, a hammam, Plunging pools and an ice fountain, a Vitality Pool with views of the Strip, a salon, and a separate Chinese Foot Spa for pedicures. At 27,000-square-foot, it's a small spa for Vegas standards, but it's one of the most decadent. Treatments include massages, facials, body treatments, stress-relief treatments, and hair salon services.
It's no surprise that this luxury megaresort features a luxury mega-spa. The 80,000-square-foot Spa at ARIA features a full-service salon, 62 treatment rooms, a vast treatment menu, and a relaxing ambiance, thanks to its Japanese-style heated stone beds, salt room, outdoor therapy pool, and natural light. Their spa suites include Ocean Dream Suites, which feature Water Dream Tables with warm water pillows, and Rose Quartz Dream Suites, which have rose quartz tables for your massage.
An outpost of the world-renowned spa, The Canyon Ranch SpaClub covers 134,000 square feet and dazzles with unique features. Yes, the to-be-expected whirlpool and sauna are on offer, but so are crystal steam rooms, a wave room, an igloo (think Arctic mists meet fiber optics), and salt grotto. The fitness facilities include a 40-foot climbing wall, Pilates, personal training, and a top-notch gym.
The Venetian shares the Canyon Ranch SpaClub (described in more detail, above) with its adjacent sister hotel, the Palazzo.
With 51 treatment rooms, Qua Baths & Spa is one of the biggest spa facilities on the Strip and sets itself apart with funky accouterments, including a tea sommelier and an Arctic Ice Room with falling snow. The services menu is truly staggering in scope and includes Nobu-branded treatments (available nowhere else in the world), such as an aromatherapy massage with facial reflexology. For a fee, guests get access to the Roman baths, Laconium steam baths, Vichy showers, chakra balancing crystal "body art" rooms, an herbal steam room, cedar sauna, and the expansive fitness center. The gym is spacious, and many of the cardio machines have built-in TVs.
Grandiose is the game's name at Bellagio: the luxe 65,000-square-foot spa has 56 treatment rooms and a 6,000-square-foot fitness center. Male clients receive equal attention here, like in the separate barber room where guys can opt for a straight-razor shave. There's a fee to use the fitness center, but that includes access to the spa's four whirlpools, eucalyptus steam room, and sauna. Adjacent to the spa, you’ll find the Kalologie MedSpa if you want an IV cocktail to help your hydration or a little botox while in town.
Those looking for a phenomenal spa won't be disappointed: The Cosmopolitan's Sahra Spa & Hamman aims to astound with its canyon-like walls that evoke the desert, hot stone slabs in the steam room, and private spa suites decked out with whirlpool tubs, wet bars, and flatscreen TVs. (Also astounding: the prices.) Sahra's elaborate service menu includes Turkish- and Moroccan-inspired bath rituals, high-tech facials, and stone massages. Like the Bellagio, the Cosmopolitan also has a MedSpa, REVIV, which offers various IV concoctions to help you feel your best while in town.
The Four Seasons‘ well-regarded spa offers a mile-long list of treatment options, including detoxifying mud wraps, vitamin C facials, and warm-stone massages. (Note that treatments are expensive, like everything else at the Four Seasons.) The fitness center is a bright, airy space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool. The long, narrow room has several cardio and weight machines, a few mats, and free weights. They offer poolside services, including collagen masks and cold stone therapy. Other treatments include body polish, head-to-toe candle massage, pedicures, and more.
The sprawling spa at this suburban hotel seamlessly meshes class with comfort.

Every spa booking includes access to the relaxation lounge, wet steam room, Swedish dry sauna, hot therapeutic whirlpool, and fitness gym. Choose from massages, body treatments, facials, and nutritional coaching.
City Center’s sleek Vdara Hotel features a two-level spa, salon, and fitness center. Luxurious men's and women's facilities have a sauna, eucalyptus steam room, hot plunges, and a Champagne Bar. The spa (like the hotel itself) is eco-minded and is part of the Green Spa Network, which encourages environmental consciousness in the spa industry. Try out their European heat experience, a “therapeutic journey of temperature changes.”
Encore's spa's lavish decor and sheer size make it a surefire stand-out. Sumptuous sitting areas and a lantern-lined corridor set the mood at this haven, boasting 37 treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an immaculate salon. The fitness center fee includes access to the sauna, steam room, showers, hot tubs, and locker rooms. Choose from standard and specialty massages, couples rituals, facials, body treatments, and fitness services like private yoga and fitness classes.
The spa and salon at Red Rock specialize in Eastern-influenced techniques and innovative modern treatments like the Jasmine Java Espresso Wrap. Plus, the top-notch spa facilities are available to guests for no extra charge: a quiet lap pool, cold plunge pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. The best part about the spa at places like Red Rock or its Green Valley sister? Treatment prices tend to be at least $30 less than they'd be on The Strip. In town for a big event?
