51 Reviews for Qua Baths & Spa
What can I say, my wife loves the days at the spa, so I decided to gift her a massage at Qua after reading all the reviews.
She did really did enjoy it, but was a bit annoyed with one thing. Her appointment was at 7:00 and they close at 8. So she was very rushed and felt a bit jipped. We would of gladly scheduled earlier if we had been warned.
If it wasnt for the rushed pressure, Im sure she would of given it all 5 stars.
If only I could stay here forever. I can always count on Qua to make me feel like a limp noodle, in a good way of course! The staff is always friendly and I love their mineral roman baths. My friend and I mustered up the courage to exfoliate with the ice from the Arctic room and the results was really soft skin...I bet my pores shrunk too! Your pass allows you to go in and out all day, which is great because you can go shopping during the day. Also, this spa does not connect the male and female spas..I saw a very disappointed girl on my last trip. That's what happens when you don't yelp the place!
Wow, if there's one advantage to the over-the-top, gaudy nature of Vegas, it's in their spas (or at least this one)! I could not think of a better way to spend the last day of my vacation than here in this huge, themed spa. It was easy making reservations, and when we got there, the staff waited on us hand and foot. Baggage was checked in at the bell desk in the lobby, and once we got to the spa in the Augustus tower, we were immediately given a tour of the facilities.
The tea room was a great place to relax and sip the chamomile (?) iced tea and snack on the fruit/pretzels. The steam room was spacious, but I didn't care too much for the sauna because it felt exactly like being outside in the Vegas heat. Could have also done without the Arctic Ice Room. However, the Roman Baths were fabulous. The water is supposely mineral-enriched, and whether that's true or not, my skin definitely felt softer after I dried off. There are these amazing heated stone lounge chairs (I believe they call them chaises) located next to the Roman Baths that do wonders for sore muscles. There was no better remedy for my calves than lying on a thermal stone chaise, particularly after nights of dancing in high heels.
My Classic Massage was with Sarah, who was a very nice, chatty masseuse. Her technique was great, but she didn't focus on my knots as much as I liked. Or...maybe I didn't have any knots left after a few hours of sleeping on that thermal stone chaise. Either way, though, who cares as long as I left feeling that wonderful?!
P.S. Patrons who pay for a spa service get complimentary access to the gym. Yay for working off some of those calories from all the fine dining and drinking!

We came here for a day of pampering during my cousin's bachelorette party weekend/last fling before the ring in Vegas. I was placed in charge of spas and I wasn't familiar with the spas in Vegas, never been to one there, so I took a look at the handy dandy reviews on Yelp and I gotta say Yelp didn't disappoint.
At Qua you can either relax and enjoy the spa with a $45 daily fee or indulge in a treatment and the daily fee is waived. Either option is great, I love the option that you don't need to get a treatment because honestly here you don't need it. The facilities available with the daily fee are impeccable. Not only do you get a locker for your goods, a robe, slippers, and towel service, they also have great shower facilities where shampoo, conditioner, body wash, even hair products, razors, lotion, and hair tools like curling irons and flat irons are provided gratis. HUGE bonus points. Nice lounge room too with light snacks and refreshments like tea and even a room attendant who's happy to brew you a cup.
With your daily fee you also get use of the arconium, their arctic room, and sauna. Especially when its 100 degrees out the arctic room is awesome; the foam bubbles meh but the fact that its a chilly 55 is great. The small pools are wonderful too, I especially like the "make it rain" showerhead in the middle and the heated lounge chairs. What a way to indulge, especially after going out and getting loaded the night before or being in the smoky casinos.
Spa treatments are fab too, although 1 star off for my esthetician being a lil too aggressive with the extractions. She was though very nice and personable, chatty enough but she seemed genuinely warm and friendly. The other girls looooved their treatments too, one of them said she felt like she was going to melt like Jello on a hot day after her massage. We even left the spa did some shopping and sight-seeing and came back to get ready. No hassle from the front desk at the spa! It was nice being able to get ready for our night out too there, like I mentioned above their facilities come with everything you need to get ready and its so much easier than 9 girls trying to get ready in two hotel bathrooms. We literally could have spent all day there and next time I'm in Vegas with the girls I'll make sure that we book a day here again.

I bought a supposedly comfortable pair of shoes for Vegas.
Comfortable? Comfortable?!!!
I'd like to see the Nike ColeHaan "geniuses" behind these so called comfy shoes, walk the strip in the boots from hell.
Anyways - after a night full of painful foot issues, and chaotic club lines - we decided that the three Miss Yelps were in dire need of some pampering.
And so after doing some Yelp research beforehand - we decided on Qua.
Just like Nicole C - said - Qua Spa is the Ultimate.
The treatments are a little pricey - but I've heard they're well worth it. (Connie loved her massage). Nicole and I decided to just use the facilities. For about 40 dollars, you can get access to the dream facilities that make up Qua.
For forty dollars you get access to big Romanesque indoor pools of warm (Tepidarium), hot (Caldarium) and cold water (Frigidarium), with sensual overhead rain showers. Pure aqua bliss. You can spend all day dipping your body in each, and once your body is relaxed and revitalized by the mineral enriched waters, you can grab the latest gossip magazine and lounge on the reclined hot stone chairs, which heat up your core - allowing for one of the best naps you'll ever take.
If you're done sitting poolside, you can then head to the lounge area, to grab some fruity hot and cold teas (all teas throughout the spa are organically grown with only natural ingredients and flavors ).
One thoroughly hydrated, you can wrap your robe tightly around you, as you make your way to the next heavenly phase in the adventure - the Laconium and Arctic Ice Room.
The Laconium room is the sauna. It's the perfect place to clear your pores and sweat out any vodka and redbulls injested the night before. Lying back on the wooden benches, you feel your body become lifeless, as your forehead heats up. Once throughly warmed - you head to the Arctic Room.
The Arctic Ice Room has heated floors and benches where you can sit perched as you watch snow fall before you. It's soothing, and magical, and takes you back to the excitement you felt when young. Utter awe at the early signs of resh falling winter.
Feeling the chill, you emerge from the brisk world - back into Qua reality - an amazing shower with high quality shampoo and conditioner (Qua even has a handy contraption to get the water out of your bathing suit in a matter of seconds)
Feeling alive, awake, and amazing - you slather yourself in moisturizer, brush your hair, get dressed, and leave Qua a better and healthier person.
If you're going to Vegas - go big.
Go to Qua to forget the craziness of the night before, and to get ready for the craziness that lies ahead.

I wont get into the details of describing the Spa, since anyone can read from other yelper's review of it and go to the website to look at the pictures..But I will say the whole place is such a relaxing and rejuvenating experiance...
I have been here once, but just to use the spa facilities for the price of 45 dollars..I wanted to splurge a bit this time coming back to Vegas so I decided to book a facial..I got a oxgenating facial and that was 180...The facial itself was really relaxing but it wasnt anything special and hardly worth 180...
I dont know why it was called a oxgenating facial because I really dont think she did anything to my face besides cleanse,exfoliate,extract,mask,massage and moisterize..That is typically the order of things when you get a facial..It was nice just to treat myself a bit, but next time I will just stick to using the spa facilities and wouldnt book a treatment..

Gotta Say.. even as I get alot of flack for visiting Health Spa's.. it is definitely one of the best things I believe you can do for yourself when a feeling of stress is about. Qua is no exception.
Over the years my buddies and I have learned our way around some of the better health spas here in Las Vegas.. Qua is the best. I have been there numerous times to relax, and even as they have raised their daily pass price to $45.. it is most worth it. (Entrance to the spa is complimentary with a purchased service)
From the Mineral Baths to the Herbal steam room.. to an aromatic infused room to shave in.. Qua has the way to let your soul chill-out for awhile. Attendants tend to be young and louder than they should at times.. but other than that.. no real complaints.
We usually start in the morning.. head to a mineral bath.. then relax in the steam room. Sitting in the 'quiet room', you can enjoy some loose-leaf teas or juices while watching the news, sports or just kicking your feet up and napping.
I particularly enjoy the gym that is a fairly state of the art facility, incorporating great machines for working out along with a set of free weights, stretching mats and various cardio machines.
Even if I choose not to get a massage or treatment.. lowest at the time of this review is $75... I still opt for the day pass and relax all day long. Check it out.. you wont be sorry.
Qua is gorgeous. For such a massive spa, it feels quiet and personal. The introductory tour is very rote and robotic but when not on script the person giving it was genuinely nice and very helpful with a great attitude. It was all easy, the common areas were relaxing, and the amenities pretty fantastic. I love that they have some pools which are not chlorinated, and the herbal steam room was really a pleasure.
I got a Thai massage - the yoga someone else does for you - which was pretty good. The therapist was totally dedicated but I've had a lot of massages and didn't sense she had depth of experience with this modality based on the way she was manipulating my body and consulting some notes. But she was a very competent therapist and was very focussed, and overall I felt I was in good hands. She also gave good advice on some moves to take away based on what she gauged about levels of flexibility and such.
The Lotus Flower Bath was cool but I think a nice soak in the mineral pool would probably be just as satisfying. But I wasn't at the point in my trip where I needed toxins removed from my body yet either.
This spa will always be a destination when I come to Vegas, be it for a treatment or just for a day pass. Excellent.

The spa is beautiful! The service was a bit spotty. My masseuse was amazing. I had just been in a rear end collision and she was able to work all of my knots out. Feeling much better now. I would definitely recommend their dry sauna, you know how some sauna's are just too hot, well this one I must say was just perfect. Avoid the chill room. It's not snowflakes coming out of the ceiling, it's soap. It's just kinda uncomfortable and not relaxing at all. Oh - I don't mind being cold, like I love the cold plunge, the chill room just didn't float my boat.

I booked a Spa package on Caesers' website -- well the package came with $50 credit to the spa. After reading the reviews, I was planning a half day at the spa including a workout. Of course, it didn't go as planned. I got to the spa at 10am keeping in mind I had to check out of my room at 1pm. I booked what I thought was a 50 mins spa appointment turns out she booked me a 75 mins without telling me. at the desk. I was cool with it since this was a B-day splurge to myself. Still, the girl at the desk should have informed me the details. Anyway, on to the men's area. In order to access the locker rooms, you have to walk through the gift shop. Then you enter two semi dark hallways with water falling from the ceiling on both sides of the wall. I thought that was a nice way to the spa area. Then there are two frosted glass doors, the mens side is to the right. The first area you enter (on the right) is the Roman baths or basically three temperature (cold, warm, and hot) pools. A few lounge chairs, and water/fruit counter. There is also a towel rack in the area and a restroom. Down the hallway you will see doors for massages and a barber/nail salon for men. At the end of the hallway you end up to the check in desk. The host will take you to the locker and instruct on the operation. You press a button, your 4 digit code, and lock. This is the same operation for opening. The room beside the changing room is the TV lounge with at least 12 single sofa type chairs, water, tea, coffee, and pretzels, and other drinks. The only TV they have has the sports channel and seems the spa attendants were only interested in the TV. The spa attendants were okay as they were glued to the TV. The the Latino spa attendant who was working was very attentive to me and everyone I saw. He was very good with the guests. Behind the counter and the lounge is the getting ready to leave room - basically there are sinks to gel up your hair, shave, and mirrors everywhere. It sucks that they do not have skin condition lotion like at the Korean spas. The weather is so dry in Vegas, that my face dries up pretty bad. Behind the getting ready room, is showers and restrooms. The showers are very modern with four shower heads, two at chest level, one at face level, and one directly above the shower. Very nice. Again towels everywhere so no need to lug your towel around throughout the spa. Around the left corner of the showers is the big Jacuzzi and then in the back are four steam and sauna rooms. The first one to the left is the dry sauna - yes it was dry and warm though I expected it to be hot. Oh well, across from that is the warm steam room with a sink for shaving. Next to it is the Herbal steam room (nice smelling herbs --not the usually mint or citrus) and finally the famous ARTIC room. The Arctic room was disappointing to me as basically it was COLD AC air blowing in, with tiny bubbles, and a bowl of shaved ice in a bowl. I was expecting ice particles landing on me. So that was it. So in the end this is probably the best spa in vegas for me.
I didn't like the following:
The girl at the front desk.
Passing the check in desk every time you visit the roman baths and steam rooms (should of made this in one area and not on either end of the facility. It was a good 100 feet and was quite embarrass to see the counter person a few times between the two areas.
The oily slippers they provided to me at the spa -- bring you own as I wear a size 10.5 and the slipper is a 10 and I made sounds every time I walk in those slippers. They were wide and heavy - not good for a 185lbs fella.
Wear a robe to everywhere in the facility unlike a Korean spa. Yes, I witness two guys in the steam room with their robe on. Oh my gosh.
Positive side, the Latino Spa attendant was so attentive to my needs and to everyone else.
The workout facility was very nice and spacious - they could use cycling or spinning machines. They also need better stretching facility as it is very small. They had way too many stair masters and ellipticals. Stength machines were plenty. The fitness attendant was nice and make frequent trips to provide towels and bottled water to everyone. They also have selected juices to offer and I believe they were complimentary.
My massage therapist was very good - he had a Japanese name -. You can feel he has soft skin on his hands and arms. FIVE STARS for that. He also did not have what I call bad nose breath - I have experienced some therapists especially smokers with bad nose breath. Overall FOUR stars.
Wow. This spa is the bees' knees. My friend and I had a very relaxing start to our Vegas weekend-we woke up, had room service, and then headed to the spa for some massages. I normally don't really like being touched, but I thought I would just go for it since we were going to what I heard was one of the best spas in the nation. When we got there, we were given robes and slippers and a tour. Me being the mature individual I
blushed when I saw the nakedness at the Roman baths. I laughed in my head a little when our spa tour guide said "As you can see-the baths are bathing suit optional." There is a refreshment area with snacks and beverages. I had a shiatsu massage. My masseuse was very friendly and knowledgable. We had a nice chat and she gave me a terrific massage. The facilities are top notch. They are one of the few spas to have an "Arctic Room" which was really fun with the cold air and foam. I had a ball in there-in fact, the whole experience was a ball. I'd love to go there again and feeling ultra pampered and relaxed.
Hey Girl. You deserve it. Save up your money and go to Qua. Forget gambling and drinking. Just spend your entire time in Vegas in the Qua spa. Seriously. Have Melissa W. do a deep tissue massage on you (yes, worth the $160) and get your "kinks" worked out in Vegas in a way that is totally healthy. And hey, no regrets later. I have never had another massage like that one. Fantastic.
I have been to the "best spa in the world" as ranked by Conde Naste - the LakeHouse Spa in Austin, Texas, and have never thought it was that great. Yes, it is beautiful but is NO comparison to Qua. Qua is the BEST, hands down. Roman Baths - spectacular, relaxing, de-stressing, wonderful. Heated stone chairs. Aaahhh... Curl up on a comfy lounge at the front of the Roman spa area and NAP. Seriously. When done napping, have a cup of hot tea, take a hot shower with FOUR shower heads raining down, sit at the mirror and dry your hair, prep. Leave feeling like a new woman.
As a previous reviewer stated, relax. Don't worry about "proper attire." Be naked, or topless, or not. Be proud. Don't worry about it. No one else is worrying about anything in there either. Splurge. You are worth it.

Have you partaken of the fleishgeist? Wash your sins away at Qua!
Qua is one of the nicest spas I've been to, and absolutely essential after dancing all night in Vegas in 4 inch stilettos. You feel me sistas? The price to use the facilities is $45, and when you walk in, they immediately greet you and take the time to give you a personal tour. And you need it -- this is 50,000 feet of spa!
The Roman Baths are fit for the gods. Picture fountains of mineral water pouring from above into scattered pools, and hot stone chase lounges waiting for you. The steam room has a lovely cedar scent, and the arctic room is the perfect end to a day of heat worship with cool air and "snowfall." After a couple of hours of total relaxation, make sure to hit the tea room to lounge, read mags and just enjoy some girl time.

A spa day at Qua is definitely in order if you need to detox, relax and recharge in Vegas!
On Friday night, my upper back started to feel really strained. I could feel a huge knot on my right side, which was so aggravating that I had to take Advil to ease the pain. I needed some major massaging asap.
Fortunately, the girls and I had already planned on going to Qua Saturday afternoon to use their spa facilities for $45. I called them in the morning to see if there were any massage appointments available, and luckily, they had one at 1pm. I opted for the 50 minute Swedish massage, which cost a hefty $140. I really needed the massage, so price didn't really matter.
Samantha was my therapist, and she was extremely pleasant, and worked her magic hands. I told her about the problem area, and she made sure to spend more time working on it. I'm not sure if it was the soothing environment of the treatment room, her technique, the fact that I hadn't gotten a proper night's sleep in days, or a combination of all three, but sometime during my massage, I fell asleep. It was just so relaxing. When I woke up, the massage was nearing the end. When it was finally over, I got up and I really felt that the tension in my back had melted away. Samantha was a miracle worker!
I found the girls relaxing like goddesses in the Roman Baths. Jessica had actually fallen asleep on the surprisingly comfortable thermal stone deep relaxation chaise and Nicole was in the Tepidarium pool, with warm mineral-enriched waters. I decided to start in the steamroom, which helped with my sinuses and relaxed my muscles even more. After several minutes inside, I went into the Arctic Room to cool off. The foamy "snow" falling from the ceiling was a cool effect. I then joined the girls and took a dip in the hot Caldarium pool and let the jets pound against my back. The waterfall also helped soothe my muscles. It was exactly what I needed!
The spa itself is one of the most gorgeous ones I've ever been to, and at 50,000 sq. ft., it's extremely spacious. There's a separate mens spa wing on the opposite side, so guys can enjoy the baths like gods as well. Everything is super clean, as attendants are constantly cleaning out towel and trash bins. The staff was very friendly, and one even recommended some clubs to hit up that night and gave us names of people to hook us up. Qua helped us in more ways than one!

I have been to many spas in the past few years but QUA really takes the #1 slot in my "best spa I have ever been to" list.
First off, the facilities are gorgeous. Calm, serene, water flowing everywhere... the environment is conducive to relaxation, which is what a good spa should do. The steam room aromatherapy cleared up my jacked up sinuses and you know how evil Vegas weather is for that The arctic ice room was a real treat, especially after melting my ass off in the steam room.
For admission and/or price of services, you get a lot for your buck. You get to use all of the facilities and on top of that they have a very well stocked counter with juices, tea, water, coffee, fruit, pretzels and the cherry on top? dark organic chocolate bars. Yes, really! Chocolate. A joint after my own heart.
I partook in a 60 minute hourglass service which is custom tailored to your particular needs. I opted for a mini facial and massage... I didn't think 60 minutes would accomplish much but my therapist really delivered. I walked out of this place glowing and felt like a big bowl of gelatinous MUSH.
QUA tends to be a little on the pricey side compared to other spas in Vegas but the truth is you get what you pay for. It is much nicer than Canyon Ranch at the Venetian and not as packed or expensive. QUA's facilities look modern, clean and not as dated. Either way, if you're a good spa junkie like me, price isn't an issue if the experience delivers. QUA delivered and more.
I look forward to going to Vegas again, not for the gambling or the partying... it's all about this spa baby. Oh yeah.
Thank you Total Rewards for getting me a day pass to this heavenly spa! This is the greatest spa I have ever seen and I am so glad that we chose to use these passes. This place is outrageous. The roman baths are surrounded by warm stone loungers for relaxation and the tea room was wonderful. The free (yeah!) beverages helped rehydrate me after killing my body the night before. I consumed coffee, iced tea and lots of water.
My favorite part was going between the three rooms - cedarwood sauna, herbal steam sauna and the arctic ice room. I started cold, went to hot in the cedarwood, then went to the steam to sweat out all of my impurities, back to cedarwood and then to cool off in the ice room. The arctic ice room has a little button you can wave you hand over so that ice chips shoot out into a sink. Then, you take the ice chips to exfoliate your skin. I did not think I would love it, but I did. It was so invigorating.
I am hoping Total Rewards hooks me up again but I would be willing to pay the $35 bucks for a pass to relaxation. I am even tempted to get an outrageously expensive treatment sometime because this place was so great.

THE best spa experience bar none. if you don't like people seeing you naked, don't come here. If you are old enough or wise enough to not care, this is the best relaxation/self-pampering you can give yourself-period. The mineral pools at different temps, the ice room & the herbal steam rooms are "the bomb"!!! If this place doesn't relax you and chill you out, nothing will. If the price is the problem, you shouldn't be staying at Ceasar's.
p.s. the spa treatment & teas were great too!
Qua Spa is the ultimate! I wish SF had a Qua!
The boyf and i set up a couples' ritual of massage, oils, etc. It was fantastic. i cant go into the deets, but just know it was terrific (hey, some things are private! :)
The best feature about the spa is that whatever treatment you had done at the spa, you get an included ALL DAY pass to use the facilities (or you can just simply buy a day pass).
The facilities are not simply a gym and jacuzzi... this place has got the works- Roman baths, Tea Lounge, Herbal Steam Room, Cedarwood Sauna, Laconium Room, Artic Ice Room (IT SNOWS IN HERE!!) and more.
It feels amazing to go from the heat (sauna or steam room) and nextdoor jump into an Ice room where it's snowing.
aaaaaaaah INVIGORATING!!
Qua spas undoes all the stress/toxins/smoke/gross-ness that is Vegas. I'm not going back to Vegas without spending some quality time here.

It's quiz time!
Q: Let's say you were paying $170 for a massage. Also, let's assume you've had quite a few massages in your time and are no stranger to spas. Now, let's pretend that your massage table has a broken face cradle, forcing you to lie at an uncomfortable angle during the "Face down" half of your $170 massage. Is this:
a) Fine with me!
b) Ok, but not great.
c) Totally unacceptable.
I vote for "C" and since Qua did nothing about it when I (politely) complained to the front desk, they get two stars. I'd make it a one star, but the spa attendants were very nice, and I fully enjoyed the steam, sauna, and arctic rooms, along with the various heated pools and warm stone chairs (sounds uncomfortable, but isn't). Despite all that, I won't be back.
For the record, there were four of us, and only one of us was pleased with her massage. The other two didn't have as bad an experience as I did, but they didn't love it, either.

This spa is the biggest and one of the most relaxing and nicest spas I have visited. The whole spa exudes luxury. Qua Spa has a Roman bath theme, with multi-colored/shaped blue and white tiles. The highlight of the spa is the three different salt water pools. As you walk into the room with these pools you first observe the largest pool which is a comfortable temperature, and has water flowing over the sides in three different tiers. Up behind this pool is a circular waterfall falling from the ceiling. Behind this large falling shower is two smaller pools, one hot and the other cold, both with a small waterfall dropping into the end of the pools. As you sit under the waterfalls and look up it there is a "natural" light coming out, so it feels as though you're in a cave with sunlight pouring through. Walking into those two pools and letting the water fall on my shoulders was one of the most relaxing things I have done in a long time. It was so calming that I felt extremely happy and perfectly at peace. Along the outer edge of these pools are heated stone lounges to lay on and relax or read magazines. It was so calming to lay on the heated lounge after dipping into the hot and cold pools that I could have spent all day there.
As you continue on into the spa there is a large tea room with cushy lounges offering magazines and servers to help you select tea from the tea bar. There are about 12 different tea choices and all the ones I sampled were excellent. They also offer iced tea, fruit, pretzels, juice and coffee.
Next as you walk further into the spa is another large circular heated hot pool. Then there is a lovely steam room with eucalyptus essential oil, a nice sauna, and my favorite: the arctic ice room. This room is covered in multicolored bubble shaped blue glass tiles along the wall and ceiling and marble slabs to sit on. The temp is 55 degrees, and has mini snow bubbles falling from the ceiling. There are chips of ice that fall into a bowl for you to scrub yourself with. It feels so great to pop into this room after heating up in the sauna/steam room.
The showers come with nicely scented shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There are lovely marble counters stocked with lotion and hair products to get ready with. Of course you are also given a nice locker with comfy sandals and robe.
I have no complaints with this spa, except perhaps the high entrance fee of $45. But this all seems worth the price considering the service and amenities. I highly recommend this spa as your first choice to visit when going to las vegas. The only problem is that you will then be spoiled and wish that other spas were as nice as Qua.

Where do you go when you've been to all of the high end Vegas spas and want to try something new? You schlep it over to Qua at Caesar's Palace. I've never stayed at the hotel, but I was lucky enough to try the spa today.
I loved it. The hot tub was super hot (loved it), the heated loungers were relaxing, the tea room was the perfect place to cozy up with a mag or two and just relax. I even checked out the arctic ice room, and sat down and froze my ass off for a good 5 minutes. Steam and sauna rooms were standard, as were the showers and toiletries.
At a place like Qua, you know the services aren't going to be "worth" the money per se. A $170, 50 min. massage? Hmm. It's going to be mediocre and will be over before it even starts! When this is the case, I try to risk disappointment by going big. I get some sort of fancy 2 hour treatment that costs more but lasts much longer. In today's case, that was the Qua Mystic Journey, which was lovely. It included a scrub, facial, massage, and some extra special TLC for my skin woes. So relaxing. I left bleary eyed and totally zen.
Why four stars? The prices are ridiculous. With 20% tip (which these people rightfully deserve), my Mystic Journey cost a small fortune. I signed off on the big tip, crumpled the receipt and just enjoyed my time here.

for $45, you can use the spa all day (including the fitness center). you can come and go as you please. sounds like a great deal, but i guess i'm not as much of a girly girl as i thought. or maybe i'm just not a spa girl. plus, the sight of nekkid women....young and old, hot and not, just makes me uncomfortable. the only section of this facility i enjoyed was the roman bath.
qua...the spa inside caesars palace, is just like any other spa. there's the sauna (which we sat in for less than a minute).....the arctic ice room, so cute with a bubble machine (which we sat in for 1 minute)......and the herbal steam room, where you can't see your hand in front of your face (which we sat in for 1.5 minutes). and there's the "whirlpool", which is essentially a giant jacuzzi. but the roman bath had the perfect temperature water...with jets too.
there are a few chairs in the roman bath area, but other than that, there is no place to lay down and relax. they have a tea room where you wait for them to call your name, but that's the only place to lounge. complimentary fruit, iced tea, hot tea, water, pretzels and juice are available. locker room is very cramp.
service when we first arrived was "bitchy". the girl who we paid seemed to look down upon us because we weren't getting any of their services, just the day pass. and they must've been busy because we didn't get our tour. but throughout my couple hours there, the employees smiled and checked on us frequently.
after going to lay out at the pool, the rest of our gals went back to the spa before getting ready for dinner. i, however didn't feel the trek back to the augustus tower was worth it, so i stayed poolside.

A MUST on a trip to Vegas!
The thing most people don't realize is with any "treatment" aka massage, facial etc. you get a FREE, WHOLE DAY at the spa....which includes the gym, roman pools and steam rooms! 6am to 8pm...so you could even go in the morning for a bit then come back later that night!!
I got there at like 9:30am for my 11 apt and it was pretty empty. Even as time passed, most women showed up with just enough time for their facial, not enough time to take advantage of all the other cool stuff!
I got the deep tissue massage which was $160. It was good, not AMAZING for $160 if you were JUST talking about the massage, but with ALLLLL the other cool stuff included it was well worth it! SO, make sure you make time! If I didn't have to catch a flight, I would have stayed much longer ;)

I came to qua a spa virgin, and left a woman. ;) But really, this spa is amazing. The treatments are too pricey for me, a poor student, although I did manage to save up for one...I believe it was the bamboo massage/facial or something like that, and it was amazing. I've returned afterwards and paid the $35/day pass just to use the facilities, and it's well worth it! My favorite feature of the spa is the stone loungers in the Roman bath area that are warmed up and ready for you to relax on. They also provide you with lockers, bathrobes and slippers, and munchies (fruit, pretzels, a variety of different drinks including juices and teas). Even if you can't afford a treatment, you can definitely spot a few bucks just to use the facility for a day and you WON'T be disappointed.

God DAMN! This place IS heaven on earth.
I thought Santana Row Burke Williams was the Creme de la Creme... until I came here! and now I have forever ruined my Burke love affair. Qua is like a billion times better/cleaner/bigger than Burke. I LOVED LOVED the facilities here. The massage - not so much.
- The hot cedar sauna was actually bearable and smelled so nice. I actually had room to lie down and read a magazine!
- The steam room - HUGE. CLEAN (burke seriously needs some Tilex bleach). And the eucalyptus scent makes it totally easy to breathe in, where you pretty much suffocate at Burke if you don't have a cold towel over your mouth.
- The artic/cold sauna - what an excellent idea!!! never saw one before coming to Qua, but I can totally see the benefits of it. Sit in it right after the hot sauna or steam room and your skin feels silky smooth. By the way... I think it's bubbles raining from the ceiling... not snow!
- I spent most of my time at the mineral water roman baths. I didn't even feel the need to go to the (chlorine!) jacuzzi. Sit by the raining waterfall so that it rains on your back!!! It was a better massage than the one given by the massuse.
- And the heated lounge chairs by the baths and in the laconium!!! I am so installing these in my next house.
Huge, totally spotless, and *almost* worth flying out there just to go check it out again.
Oh but I must say, I absolutely HATED my massage here. I was pretty disappointed that I spent so much on such a bad massage. It did not even compare to my Trish who performs miracles at San Jose's Santana Burke Williams.
Plus the mood in the massage rooms wasn't well thought out. They leave the lights on... Burke dims them so you feel totally relaxed and not like you're in a doctor's room being examined. Plus Burke uses a warming table, a leg rest, and heavy, heavy blankets.
Nonetheless, I left the massage room and still managed to soak away my bitterness in the tubs. So come here for the day pass!
Sigh... Qua has ruined me forever now. I'm gonna have to fly to Vegas next time I am stressed out from work instead of just driving to Santana Row. :(

SOOO I finally went to this much anticipated SPA and had an overall great time. I didn't have the money to spend on the special treatments QUA offered, but I did have enough to enjoy the spa's roman baths and etc. I will try my best to list the pros and cons:
Everything was very classy and upscale. However, come on...even though the name is spa, roman baths, etc etc...we all KNOW it's a freaking bathhouse...the romans may have done it ages ago, but us asians have also done it for ages and ages. :P
ANYWAYS, I'm a veteran of Korean and Japanese bathhouses, and this one is on the top of list in terms of luxury (along with this one awesome bathhouse I went to in Japan). I loved the soft music in the background and the awesome decor of the place. It was truly relaxing and very peaceful.
The roman baths were great, but nothing spectacular. The area where the roman baths are located had these cool heating chairs where people can just relax and take a nap or read a mag. Unfortunately, one of the chairs was not working, and I happened to sit in that particular one. It took me a long time to realize what was so special about the chairs...
The tea room was also very nice. I kept on going back and forth from the tea room, to the baths, to the sauna, to the tea room... etc etc. I lazily lounged on their couches while I drank my cranberry juice...and then my tomato juice...and then my water...:) It was awesome. One little thing i found annoying was that every so often, a working attendant would come with new customers and say, "this is the tea lounge where blah blah." I shouldn't complain b/c I was given that same tour when I first entered the spa, but yeah..after awhile it got a tad annoying.
Another great feature of this spa is the three rooms: aromatic steam room, snow room, and dry sauna room. My mother LOVED the aromatic steam room and forced me to stay in there while the steam suffocated us. I personally thought the aroma was overpowering to the point of serious suffocation, but I miraculously managed to stay alive by covering my head with a towel and breathing through a cup filled with ice. haha. It's amazing how the 'older' asian generation can keep up with all the steam...for the love of beauty...incredible
Anyways, after the steam room we headed to the snow room, and that was nice at first. I was marveling at the snow that was gently falling down from the ceiling until I realized that it wasn't actually really snow....It's not even ice...it's more like..bubbles or something..or maybe the snow melted...i dunno...the room was nice nonetheless, and the cold wasn't too bad either..rather very refreshing.
The shower rooms were very nice as well. Each was equipped with towels and shaving cream, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The only thing confusing about this was wondering if each room was occupied or not. You seriously cannot tell, unless the person locks the door. Lastly, the powder room was very well equipped with all the things one needs to use after a shower (minus facial moisturizers & q-tips). The only thing about this one was that the combs and brushes the spa provides you with (which are all kept in the sterilizer) were full of hair...now I know they are sterilized, but yeah, I could not get myself to use them...
Ok, so that was it. To sum it all up. Very nice and luxurious. Prices INCREASED from 35 (?!) to 45...sucked...I think it is a tad overpriced for what it has to offer. If you think about it, all it comes down to is this: roman bath, three rooms (snow, steam, dry), tea room and shower. I KNOW i can the same thing in the asian spas all over Korea and Japan for half the price...but knowing that we are in America..perhaps this price is reasonable. For now, I'll leave it as this: great experience...but didn't feel genuinely like I got my money's worth...maybe it's just me:)

More like 4.5 stars, because the Arctic ice room was closed. I got the 60 minute hourglass treatment and it was amazing. At first I chose a massage/ facial combo, but after the masseuse worked on my shoulders for a while, she suggested I spend more time on my tight shoulders which I went along with without any hesitation. She combined hot stones with the treatment, which made for a truly relaxing experience. Afterwards. I fully took advantage of the rest of the spa facilities. All of the roman baths and the whirlpool was amazing. Plus the showers and all of the snacks and drinks available, made for the best spa experience. Be sure to set aside a few hours to enjoy this place. I wish that I could enjoy this every weekend.

THE standard of a luxury spa.
If you're a chick, you gotta come here. Even men pamper themselves here.
I usually check into a spa 15 minutes before my treatment. This weekend I decided to make the most of my time, spent 5 hours @ the spa & I was entertained every minute of it.
My schedule of events:
12:30-1:45pm Cardio @ the Fitness center
1:45-2pm Window shopping at the retail area
2-2:15pm Check-in, changing into robe & slippers
2:15-2:30pm Curled up in the tea lounge, w/green tea & an apple
2:30-3pm Chilled in the Herbal Steam room & Arctic Ice room
3-345pm Washed off under their Vichy shower heads
345-4pm Returned to the Tea Lounge for another cup of green tea
4-5:15pm Received the Rolls Royce of all facials: their Hydratherapy
My esthetician was personable and professional. She was gentle, but aggressive with her microdermabrasion techniques. Metal extraction tools are not used here, as they bruise the delicate skin, instead they use a suction to pump out the pus! Cool huh?!?!
Service is top notch. Try to make a visit on a weekday or an off weekend. Love the keyless locker entry and the soaring ceilings.
I need to go back and get into the Roman baths. I'm still amazed I wasn't bored out of my mind. I usually get so restless at spas.

Wonderful.
Qua is a really great spa, a bit of the expensive side but welcome to Vegas. I paid $140 for a massage and this allowed me to access the entire facility. The massage was GREAT and the guy that gave it was a hunk-a-rama.
The main room has 3 different Roman whirlpool type baths that are made with mineral water which was good for me as I had a fake spray tan on and couldn't get in chlorinated water. In addition, there is a super hot, hot tub that does have chlorine. The Roman bath area also has heated marble 'chaise' type lounges which are great.
There are a few different saunas, the most well known is the Snow Room where it literally snows and you can put your hand over a device on the wall and ice cubes fall from the ceiling for you to put on your face. They recommend going in the Snow Room after the other saunas so you can 'close your pores'.
Bathing suits are optional too, which is good because my friend and I forgot ours and the girl that showed us to our lockers forgot to give us the disposable spares that they offer so we decided to be brave and go nude and it wasn't weird at all, at least after the first few minutes. I actually recommend experiencing this place fully nude. It is all ladies or all men anyway depending on your gender so no worries there, though this may be a disappointment for some too.
There is a tea room, it is okay, Qua likes to brag about their tea but I didn't find that it was really worth writing home to mamma about. All in all, the place is a great experience and worth checking out.

this spa was about 9381983019823 times better than the spa at the bellagio. like i said before, whoever made the list of best spas in vegas and put bellagio at the top was smoking some serious crack.
$45 for an all day pass to use the facilities. i didnt get a treatment so I can't vouch for any of those but the faciliites are just AWESOME.
roman baths: perfect. and they had these heated marble lounge chairs to relax in. three different temperatures: cold, warm, and hot jaccuzi. quiet, big, and the ultimate of relaxation.
steam room: the minty herbal smell isnt as strong as the bellagio steam room, which nearly choked me. it's also nice they had a cold shower head so in case you got too hot you can cool off.
arctic ice room: it SNOWS in there!!!! how COOL is that. they also have ice chip dispenser for you to exfoliate with.
showers: clean and big and.
I also like that their lockers are code protected so you dont have to carry an annoying key around like in the bellagio spa.
their attendants are also SUPER friendly. and the drinks and such are unlimited and freeeee.
the tea room, supposedly they have a tea attendant but i didn't see one, nor did i get any tea in the tea room.
i came to this spa for 2 days in a row. it was heavenly, dreamy, and perfect. sigh.

This place was really, really nice. Very classy. My cousin and I started our morning off at their gym - it was nice and spacious. They had lots of equipment and ample exercise machines. I liked how the treadmills had tv screens built-in - I was able to get my celebrity gossip fix while I ran. Watching Nicole and Paris inspired me to keep running to burn more fat.
There were lots of towels and a pretty good selection of juices. We skipped breakfast so I had a few V8's to hold me over until after our massages when we could hit a buffet.
Gina was my massage girl and she was amazing. She has a background in sports medicine and she knew her stuff. She gave me advice on improving my posture and pointed out some of my trouble spots. No one has ever done that for me before.
