The Spa

Unbelievable — best spa I’ve EVER been to and I love going to nice spas. It was not packed, which was awesome, so the environment was soothing and chill. We got the foot treatment and it was amazing. Didn’t want to leave! Believe it or not, my husband and I spent 5 hours there just relaxing.

Got to spend Christmas Day at the Mandarin Oriental Spa. It was one of the best Christmas day’s ever! Checked in had about an hour to use the facilities. The indoor pool with a breathtaking view of the Las Vegas strip, cool. It was a pretty neat experience, I remember being very happy to be there in that moment. I really enjoyed the steam room, lit up with led lights and eucalyptus oils. The massage room was so comfortable! Probably the best massage bed I’ve ever been on. The massage itself was very very good. Only complaint for myself is they split up male/​female designated areas so you don’t get to chill with your significant other.

This was my 2^nd visit to this spa and it was as relaxing as my first visit.
Was able to made a reservation same day for the Luminescence Massage & Body Treatment (on my first visit, just had a standard massage).
Upon arrival, love the calm demeanor of the hosts. You are led to a waiting area where a hot towel, peppermint tea & slippers are brought for you to get in RELAX mode.
Then, you are led to the spa and given a tour of the facilities, a locker & robe. I had arrived early for the facilities. This spa has fantastic views of the strip in all areas. My favorite is the Vitality Pool. I did enjoy the Steam & Relaxation lounges, too. (There are towels & waters throughout the spa.)
Note: on both visits, there was NO ONE else at the spa, so it felt like I had the place to myself.
As for my treatment: Luminescence Massage & Body Treatment? 1 hour & 30 minutes of body scrub & massage. I reveled in the look of the Pearl Powder (it leaves a shimmer to your skin for the evening). My masseuse was great and my treatment was done in one of the couple’s suites (Nice!).
When done, again, I was brought a peppermint tea. (*Every time they brought me tea, there were fresh flowers on the plate.) When leaving, they told me they had extended hours at the spa for CES. Cool. Also, upon check-​out, they have some great items; I’m a fan of the massage oils.
My Favorite Spa in Vegas.

Love this place talk about amazing service I felt like a queen mostly definitely the cleanest and most chill place to stay on the strip… worth every penny

This is my first visit to The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental Spa, and I have to say that it was amazing! I am a spa aficionado so my standards are very high! I have to say that to begin with the culture amongst the employees and therapist is flawless! They great you with such delight and respect that for a minute you forget that you are in America… Then comes the shoe ritual which the principle of what it stands for is so well thought off and executed as well! The spa has a very comfortable flow and amazing architectural views of the strip! Then you tour the locker rooms, amenities which include an amazing hot pool, steam, sauna and relaxing lounge! But nothing could prepare me to the amazing massage I received from my massage therapist Jeffry! His attentions from the moment he greeted to the completion of my 60min massage were flawless! I can’t wait to be able to come back for another service!!! To complete an amazing journey, the checkout is in their retail boutique which is beautifully stocked with top notch products that call upon you to take home :) all in all, out of other spas I have visited in vegas this has been to date my best experience! Highly recommended?

THE BEST MASSAGE I’VE EVER HAD. I got the herbal therapeutic, which was a deep tissue, and it was incredible. My sister got the luminescence massage, and she said it was also the best massage experience she’s had. The spa itself is beautiful, and has amazing experiences as well. A bit pricy ($ 260 and $ 280 for the massages) but totally worth it. My masseuse was Julie, and I highly recommend her.

If you’re staying at the Mandarin Oriental, grab all of your girlfriends and stop by The Spa! It’s located on the 8^th floor (right before the hallway where the pool is). After checking in, we filled out some waivers while sipping on mint tea. We then exchanged our shoes for black rubber sandals. We were then given a tour of the facilities. The Spa is same-​sex only (except for the hammam, but it was closed I think for renovations).
After putting our belongings in a locker and changing into a robe we headed over to the vitality pool. Bring your bathing suit otherwise you’ll have to be in the nude (unless, of course that’s your thing lol). The pool was right in front of a large set of windows so you got a nice view. We then hit up the experience showers, steam room, laconium, sat in some heated lounge seats and then finished up in the relaxation room. The relaxation room was really nice as well. There were several beds that you could snuggle in while sipping on more tea or their fruit infused waters. Again, there were large windows in this room so we got an amazing view of the sunset.
The Spa provides everything you could possibly need (hair-​ties, toothbrushes, deodorant, floss, make-​up remover wipes, shower caps, etc). I think it would be a smart idea to come here later in the afternoon, that way you have enough time to enjoy all of the amenities and then take a shower and get ready for a night out. Plus, not to mention there was no one else here when my friends and I stopped in around 7.

Breathtaking, opulent and magnificent in attention to detail. Worthy of 5 stars. Fav spa next to Encore!

You know, for years, I’ve recommended this spa as *THE* spa to go to in Vegas. And I still feel that way (re: the facilities), BUT here is what you need to know: I suggest that you pay the (approx. $ 80) to access the facilities for the day — bring a book, bring some magazines (since they don’t really provide any — even the Fantastic Sams $ 20 haircut place has magazines?!), relax on the heated seats, sauna, jaccuzzi, «shower journeys», etc., and have a wonderful time relaxing.
What I do NOT recommend is getting a treatment, especially not a facial.
A few notes:
1) They say on their website that everyone gets a «welcoming foot ritual», and there’s a picture of someone getting a foot bath /​foot massage (page 8 of their spa menu PDF on their website). Well, they don’t actually do that. I don’t care that they don’t do it, but I do care that it’s implied that everyone gets a sort of mini-​foot massage when they don’t.
2) As several others have noted, you do *NOT* get the full time you think you will. No one in our party got the *full* time of treatment (e.g. 80 or 90 minutes). Reading others’ reviews, I think the «time rituals» people get the most gypped. They include the «walking to the room, getting settled in to your bed,» etc., in the total time. So, figure that the actual treatment time will be 10 — 15 minutes less than what you book.
3) When I called to book my facial, I was originally going to get the «Oxygen Facial». I told the woman on the phone that my primary concern was congestion, and that the #1 thing I wanted from the facial was extractions. She told me that if I wanted extractions, that I should instead get another facial, which is, YOU GUESSED IT: $ 60 more expensive. I wasn’t thrilled about paying for the more expensive facial, but I did have a lot of congestion I wanted cleared up, so I agreed.
She said, «I will note here in your [file? reservation?] that your primary concern is congestion, and that you want to have a lot of extractions. Your aesthetician will be aware of this, and will be sure to focus on it.» Great!
Well — during the facial, I sort of zoned out, and remember wondering, «Hmm, I wonder when the extractions are going to start? I guess… I guess they’ll be done later?»… well, you guessed it – we got to the end of the facial (I did sort of snooze off, I think), and no extractions.
I had been explicitly told when I booked that «Oh, you need this [$ 260] facial instead of the [$ 200] facial if you want extractions, and I’ll make a note here for your technician to be aware of this.»
I feel as though I was up-​sold to a more expensive service under false pretenses. Surely if a spa as fancy as the MO says «I have made a note and your aesthetician will be sure to focus on congestion /​extractions», then I trusted that this would actually be conveyed /​followed. It’s the freakin’ Mandarin! Such a basic instruction /​service level would be a GIVEN at any of their Asian properties, I can assure you.
4) My partner got a massage, and said that the massage pressure was a bit too light, and that he asked her *twice* to please use more pressure, and she didn’t.
Again, for a spa like the MO, especially one charging $ 280 for a massage, if the person says, «I’d like a little more pressure please», then YOU DO THAT.
I can’t believe that the $ 19.99 foot spas in L.A. are more responsive to client requests than the MO. Similarly, a $ 40 facial at any of my local beauty spots will do extractions if requested.
Again — the facilities themselves are wonderful. I do plan to come back, but next time, we will just pay to access the facilities and spend a relaxing afternoon in the laconium, heated seats, etc.
But I can not, in good conscience, recommend the services. Especially not considering the price. Sorry.

This spa provides everything you can dream of in such a facility. A variety of options are offered, including hot stone massages, heated lounge chairs, mineral mud masks, aromatherapy, magnetic body treatments, couples massages, steam rooms, and so much more. The ambiance is magnificent, and on two levels, décor representative of Shanghai in the 1930s. Pilates and Yoga classes are available, along with a beauty salon, and foot soaks.
Make sure your next visit to Las Vegas includes a trip to The Spa at Mandarin Oriental for a most serene and relaxing experience. Your Body, Mind, and Soul will Thank You!

The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental is always an excellent experience. I suggest getting to the spa early to enjoy all they have to offer. I usually get their HOT Stone Massage which was so very relaxing.
Give them a try for sure…

There are no words, sniff sniff. There are no words.
Stunning, beautiful, pampering and all around amazing. My day there was a complete treat and the ultimate gift to myself. I can’t wait to go back. I loved every minute there. I’m a refreshed and richer spirit for having visited. If you have the time during a crazy Vegas weekend to pamper yourself, it’s a must do.

The Mandarin Oriental’s spa facilities on their own deserve 5 stars and more…
My spa treatment, however was mediocre. I admit I did have high expectations as I did extensive research on their services and was read the positive reviews on the Time Ritual. Also, the MO spa is the most gorgeous (and expensive) spa in Las Vegas…
I had the 2 hour Time Ritual with Jeffrey.
When we sat down to discuss what treatments I wanted for my two hours…(by the way, this cuts into your treatment time…) I told him I was hoping to get a facial, wrap and massage. If we had enough time, a brow wax. He responded by essentially telling me we’d be doing a massage and facial and a scrub, which I agreed to. (I had just spent an hour relaxing in the amenity area, I would have agreed to paint his nails at this point.)
So we got started… A lot of the treatment time was him waiting outside for me to «de-​robe, flip over…» 5 minutes later… etc. Also, in my extreme relaxed state, it was still noticable how much time he spent setting things up, the shower, the towels, the products, etc. Don’t they have the ability to do this beforehand? He also was terribly sick and had a cough… I thought this would stop… but no… he coughed… the…whole…two hours… I did feel sorry for him but it was just unpleasant.
Honestly, none of this would have bothered me if I had received a good facial. This was the only part of the treatment I really cared about. I think the facial part of it lasted for about 50 minutes. It was very relaxing… but I specifically asked for extractions as I have horrible pores. In fact when we were discussing the treatment I said this was my main priority. When I did, he told me «when we put you under the light I will see what needs to be done.» He didn’t do any extractions except 2 – 3 on my chin… and my t-​zone is my worst and obviously needed area. I completely understand he’s not a dermatologist but I’ve had better at a Bliss Spa.
In the end it’s like he realized there was still time and he gave me a scalp massage but first pulled my hair tie out along with lots of my hair (at that point my hair had been wet, with lots of products pushed around in it.) This was unpleasant. He also still has my hair tie. :(
My treatment was at 3:00 (started at 3:15 after everything was said and done…) and I got all the way back to the ladies area at 4:50. When you book 2 hours of time and get back even a minute early it just gives you the vibe they weren’t really there to give you 100%. The whole reason someone would want to book a 2 hour time ritual is so that they could have the freedom to do whatever treatments they want in, and as many that will fit in that time frame. I’m sure that with a different therapist, this might have been a better experience though. Everyone else that I encountered there was attentive and hospitable.
The reason for the 3 stars is my husband said his massage was good. Note, there is only one gender neutral area, with four seats so I’d recommend going with your same sex friends if you’re planning to enjoy the amenities for a few hours. (The views are fantastic.)

The room that we booked came with a $ 100 spa credit, so it’d be a shame to let it go to waste. Lo and behold the prices of the treatments are a lot more expensive than other spas on the Strip.
The facial was good, and the facilities are nice, but if not for the $ 100 spa credit, for the (full) price I’d prefer the Canyon Ranch in the Venetian.

An incredible spa experience. I had the two hour long MahJong treatment, and I was not disappointed. The amenities were impeccable. The décor was tasteful (though a bit too many multicoloured LED lights for my taste). The experiential showers really relaxed me. The floating spa was an awesome experience. The therapist catered to my every whim. I came out scrubbed and completely relaxed. Made my drive back to LA that much better.
In an effort to keep an open internet I’ve decided to sign my name to all my reviews.
Best,

Spa junkie, here! I also work at a spa so I’m always curious to experience other spas. Needless to say The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental was amazing.
My Hammam body scrub was $ 150 and this price included full access to the spa amenities. Woo! Great price, ESPECIALLY for the wonderful treatment.
First, let’s talk about my spa treatment: the Hammam. The Hammam is a wonderful 45-​minute body treatment in a heated room, on a marble massage table. The treatment consists of your therapist pouring hot and cold water, alternating in between. Then afterwards they use a rough mitt and scrub down your body (which might be a little intense for some, but I was used to it as I already dry brush at home). Afterwards they pour bubbles all over your body and massage it in, and then repeat the process of hot and cold water again. It is a very beautiful treatment that is a very sensory experience, as you feel so many temperatures from hot to cold and textures from rough to smooth and slippery. One of the best spa experiences I have ever had – hands down!
My friend and I were greeted by our spa therapists right at the door (unfortunately I do not remember the names of our therapists but they were both wonderful! One was white and the other was Asian – both female – if that helps) of our treatment room, and they were extremely polite, professional and very thorough informing us about the treatment. At the end of the treatment, they wrapped us wet into dry towels and guided us to the seating area directly outside the treatment room. I thought I would be uncomfortable and cold since we were still wet (I don’t like feeling like a wet dog), but they tucked us right underneath the comfortable and provided us with water to aid the detoxification process. Needless to say they had every sensory experience nailed down to the T and the entire experience of the Hammam was fantastic.
The spa experience was amazing. From the very beginning of check-​in we were provided with an offering of hot towels for the hands and tea while waiting and were given a tour of the spa before being given a moment to unchange and enjoy the spa prior to our treatment. Staff was extremely helpful and warming. Did not feel like a lost puppy here like I do at other spas that don’t give proper tours and guidance. Professional from the beginning to the end.
The spa has a heated pool, very interesting showers that have different types of sprays and jets, and a heated room. They also have a rhassoul mud room but that is used for body treatments. They also have heated beds facing the windows so you can soak up the sun and stare at the strip. Lots of areas to lounge in and be comfy. They also have a vanity area where you can apply your make up and fix your hair– they provide Oribe hair products for you to use, which is an awesome line of products. Spa store has an array of skincare and hair products as well as little knick-​knacks available for purchase.
Overall, I fell in love with this spa. Next time I am out to Vegas, I will definitely schedule another treatment here!
**Make sure to tip your therapists generously. They do such an amazing job, how can you not!**

Since we have a lot of time on the drive back I should do my Unilocal duty and praise those that deserve our stars, which includes LV’s MO spa team. I always enjoy staying with the group in Asia and being a previous gym member in the HK MO, I’m spoiled to the their white glove pampering thus I expected nothing less here.
I love the attention to each guest upon check in from ensuring our understanding of the facilities to the tea, slippers and warm inviting environment of the beauty treatment rooms. I got the Ultimate Facial and it was serious L U X E, from exquisite product selection, advance modalities such exact lymph node hand massage techniques and great tools as micro current which is a much have in any facial program.
Being extremely careful with my skincare habits I found no problems entrusting my therapist. I was also sold on a new organic enzyme peel at her suggestion. As for other areas within, I thoroughly enjoyed the chaise lounge spa pool and could have easily slipped into a light coma for a couple hrs there. And any chance to enjoy a laconium room is a plus.
So head there if you have the time and means and remember 1 great facial is worth it’s value as opposed to 10 subpar ones with low end products.

Have you ever sat in a lawn chair built into a pool filled with warm water as you gazed out onto the Las Vegas strip? If not, I urge you to. That is how I began the morning of our wedding day, in the vitality pool of The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental. It was surreal as was the fact that the spa itself was even more beautiful in person than it looked online. I sampled the steam rooms, used the shower, and drank fruit-​infused water (which I should really try making it at home sometime) before my stylist whisked me away to the salon, which I had all to myself.
I was delighted with how good my blow-​out looked for the wedding. It had shine, body, and just a little bit of a wave at the bottom. My make-​up also was flawless, and I even had eyelash extensions put in. I appreciated that all of the cosmetics were mineral-​based, as I have been trying to incorporate more natural products into my beauty routine. The stylist herself was friendly and fun to chat with about life, love, and Las Vegas.
While I primarily used The Spa as it was in our hotel anyway and I wanted to get beautified for our big afternoon, I would return if I am in town regardless of which hotel I were to stay at. Also, if you are a future Vegas bride, I would definitely recommend coming here as they will roll out the red carpet. I was even given a small goody bag as a wedding present.

I have become a bit of a spa lover and because of this have visited many over the last several years (including several on the strip)…this spa is probably in the top three overall. It is a bit smaller than other spas on the strip. The experience from beginning to end is nothing short of excellent. Sure, it is pricey, but worth it. You begin your experience by checking in to the spa on the 8^th floor and removing your shoes while enjoying a drink. The experience continues with attentive spa attendants who make certain that the facilities are immaculately kept and your needs are met. The amenities are great — lounge chairs in the hot tub, programmable showers, laconium treatment rooms, a relaxation room — you name it, The Spa has it and it is excellent.
I booked an 80 minute Swedish massage and it was absolutely excellent. Newton was my therapist and hands down gave one of the best massages I have had (I have hundreds of massages over the last several years). He was truly skilled and I can’t recommend him highly enough. The treatment was room was well appointed and really relaxing. I enjoyed the experience so much that I considered trying to book another treatment, but was unable to due to my schedule. Highly recommend The Spa — you will not be disappointed!

I’ve always gone to Vegas for the partying, eating, drinking, sunning but now, I’ll have to add spa-​ahhh-​ing to my list. (is that even a word?)
I’m not much of a spa goer, but Mandarin Oriental has converted me. Even possibly convinced me that I should set aside $$$ whenever I go to Vegas. (and you will need $$$ because a day pass for the spa is $ 80 and the cheapest treatment you can book is $ 100)
The décor is reminiscent of luxurious Shanghai back in the 1930’s: mixture of black, reds with pops of purple and green. Even the bathrobes are colored black with a red trim. The vitality pool (turn on the bubbles!) is a perfectly warm 75 degrees, the experience showers mimic thunderstorms and tropical rain all controlled with a tablet, the Eucalyptus steam room is awesome and relaxation rooms feature views of the strip.
I booked a 45 min. Replenish foot massage which includes a Chinese spearmint foot bath, followed by exfoliation. Then my masseuse applied a foot mask of White Clay and Ylang Ylang, followed by a pressure point massage along your feet and legs. DIVINE. After the massage, she’ll wrap you with a blanket and an eye mask and you take a cat nap for the rest of the time. When you wake up, hot tea is delivered to you.
I recommend booking a late weekday afternoon to ensure the place to be almost empty and also, the prices for some of the treatments are cheaper. Plus you can stay until nighttime and watch the strip all aglow in its lights.
You’ll be ready to party for another 8 hours after a serene spaaahhh day at Mandarin Oriental, but after spending half a day here, I really don’t want to leave.
