I admit it! I am a massage-a-holic. I am so anxiety prone, its ridiculous. About every six weeks I realize I'm not sleeping well, and feel so wound-up and stressed that I guess the only way my body knows how to relieve it is a major, knock down, drag out, full fledged panic attack! I've found that if I stay on top of not getting stressed by getting a massage, I function better as a normal person! :-) The reason I am posting this is to find a good massuse in Vegas! I have gotten a ton from different people in town, and the ones I have loved the most are out of state! So, I would like some input on a good place to go. This is the criteria: It needs to be a classy, relaxing place...in other words, the "feng shui" must be good, and no fake ivy on the wall...haha! And it needs to be affordable, and also I like deep tissue, to the point that it almost hurts! K, if anyone has any good ideas, feel free to help out. Also, if you are a massuse or know one that would like to trade haircuts or permanent make-up for massage, that works too! Below is a list of Spas I've gone to this year, and here is my critique on them if you are looking for a place to go....
1. Spa Gaucin, St. Regis Hotel, Oceanside, Ca.- Overly expensive, and their signature stone massage is good, but a little too relaxing..not enough deep tissue. But! Their atmosphere and service was amazing! It was beautiful!
2. Dolce Spa, Mesa, Az.- It's a hip, nice salon/spa, and affordable! The massuse I had there, Jenna, was awesome! This might be the best massage expericence I've ever had!
3. Spa at The Four Seasons, Las Vegas, Nv.- Too expensive, and you feel like you should wear a formal just walking in! The front desk people are snobby, and unaccomadating, but, their sitting room and sauna is nice, better than everything else!
4. Angel's Touch, Las Vegas, Nv.- Tacky! This is what I mean when I say no fake ivy for decoration on the walls! The massuse massaged like a dead fish! It wasnt worth it at all!
5. Baby Bear Massage, Waterton, Alberta, Canada- I like this place because its only big enough for one massues in the whole place. It's the same lady every year, and I like her because she's slightly strange, and is actually a mid-wife/nurse, and does a really good job!
6. Bliss Spa, The W Hotel, Los Angeles, Ca.- This place is so cool, and swanky! The massues I had did such a good job that I slept in a dead sleep for 2 weeks after!
7. Spa at Lakeside, Las Vegas, Nv.- The inside is a little tacky like Angel's Touch, not as bad though, but it's so affordable it's totally worth it to go! The Massuse April did a really good job in the short amount of time she had.

Jamie, My cousin just spent a couple of months in Thailand and said that there is a Thai massage that is unlike anything she has ever had in her life...She said that even after a 24 hour flight she was still relaxed. She said it was like a combination of Massage and Yoga because they stretch you and massage, sounds kind of weird, but she was raving. I would suggest a Thai massage...Infact, I googled Thai Massage in Vegas and a couple of places actually popped up.
All your Skin & Body Care
4001 S. Decatur Blvd #23
702-873-8828
( This one is in a strip mall and looks kind of grungy. But maybe they are actual Thai People)
Qua Spa @ Caesars Palace
866-782-0655
(This looks awesome...but it's $225 for 75min.)
Anyway, Think about it...It's not your typical massage, you are loosly clothed and they don't use oils, but it is supposedly Fabulous!!!
Must be nice to have all those messages! I'd refer my person to you only he's married to ME & not to mention out of state! And Jaren is excellent! I hear what you're saying about a regular message - it really relieves the stress. Good luck in your search!
