It is just as easy, and sometimes if not more relaxing, to enjoy a day at the spa without having to mess with traffic and tourists up and down Las Vegas Boulevard. Instead, envision yourself in a quiet spa off the Las Vegas Strip, surrounded by locals, and the occasional business traveller. Know what the locals know and explore one of these top spas off the Las Vegas Strip. If you are a local, then make sure you are privy to the discounts and specials offered by most of these locations during the week. Some places like Costa del Sur, offer discounts for locals every day of the week, including discounts on their products as well.

Off the Strip

Spa Aquae at J.W. Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa is a hidden oasis off the Las Vegas Strip in the residential suburbia of Summerlin. Valet park at the Spa Tower and by-pass any fuss with the casino entrance, and you are transformed into romantic, Spanish architecture, with a stone path leading you to Spa Aquae. Take advantage of the hot and cold whirlpools, sauna, steam and the waterfall showers before heading in for a treatment. Enjoy a cup of tea while lounging outside by the hydrotherapy circuit pool, overlooking one of the many waterscape scenes throughout the resort. New services are available on the updated menu. The Spa Director carefully hand picked treatments unique that offer a sophisticated clientelle the chance to feel like they are being pampered on a tropical island or just steps from a white sand beach. marriott.com for more info

Costa del Sur Spa at South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa is the secret spa the locals don’t want you to know about. A sweet little gem tucked into the back side of the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa, the Costa del Sur is a serene escape, with 40,000 square foot spa houses 28 treatment rooms, steam, sauna, whirlpools and waterfall showers.

The Spa at The Green Valley Ranch is a local’s favorite. The spa itself is not only a well kept, quiet oasis, but also offers many outdoor lounging options, and its own private pool. Luxurious accommodations and state of the art services keep The Spa at Green Valley Ranch on top. To take your spa experience full circle, the Fitness Center also offers great yoga and pilates classes taught by some of Las Vegas’ finest instructors at a reasonable rate. greenvalleyranch.sclv.com for more info 

I was offered complimentary services at both Spa Aquae and Costa del Sur spa in order to review the experience. All words and thoughts are 100% my own.
