Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness Las Vegas — Local services in Paradise

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness in Las Vegas, and it was an outstanding experience. This spa exceeded my expectations as someone who values physical fitness and relaxation. All photos taken were approved by staff and towards closing hours.

First and foremost, the cleanliness of the facility was impeccable. In my line of work as security, attention to detail is critical, and the Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness truly excels in this regard. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a pristine, well-maintained environment. The cleanliness throughout the facility gave me an immediate sense of comfort and relaxation. The exceptional level of service the staff provided was commendable.

The range of amenities that this spa offers is genuinely remarkable. The state-of-the-art fitness center, with its rock climbing wall, was a definite highlight for me as someone who enjoys working out. The hydrothermal facilities were an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation, catering to all of my senses. The moment you step into this world-class spa, you are transported to a realm of soothing experiences that cater to all your senses.

The Eucalyptus Crystal Steam Room is a sensory treat, with the invigorating scent of eucalyptus and intense heat welcoming you. With seating at the bottom, middle, and top levels, each level is increasingly hotter, detoxifies your body, and clears your sinuses. The crystal-infused steam adds an extra layer of relaxation, making it a must-visit for those seeking respiratory relief and mental clarity.

After the steamy eucalyptus crystal steam room, the Cold Mist Igloo provides a refreshing contrast. The icy mist envelops you, awakening your senses and revitalizing your skin. For those who prefer to cool off without a subzero shock, ice-cold hand towels are resting in ice. The jacuzzi is perfect for unwinding, with Stone-Heated Lounge Chairs available.

Experimental Rain Showers: These rain showers offer a variety of modes to cater to your preferences. Whether you desire a gentle drizzle of cool fog, a refreshing downpour from the tropical rain, or a revitalizing cascade of the Caribbean storm, these showers provide a customizable and invigorating experience that complements your hydrothermal journey.

The mosaic-tiled alcove of the Laconium is an inviting spot to inhale herbal-infused steam, promoting relaxation and aromatic therapy for the senses. The Finnish sauna provides a traditional sauna experience with dry, heated air.

The Dark Wave Room is a sensory delight with black, cushy loungers that tilt up toward the dome ceiling. Watch mesmerizing wave projections set to a peaceful ocean soundtrack. Conversely, the Salt Grotto often incorporates natural elements into its design, fostering a connection to nature that enhances the spa experience.

The hydrothermal facilities at Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness in Las Vegas are a testament to sophistication and relaxation whether you're seeking warmth, coolness, aromatherapy, or a tranquil space to unwind.

I highly recommend the Coconut Nourish Cocoon. This 50-minute journey begins with a sugar scrub infused with the natural goodness of coconut milk and honey. The scent of coconut and the soothing touch of honey create a sensory experience that transports you to pure bliss. After the scrub, you take a shot shower to wash off the coating, and the magic continues with applying a vitamin-rich body butter. What truly sets the Coconut Nourish Cocoon apart is the cocoon bed experience. The technology sends you into a zero gravity warming blanket that is a comforting embrace as you lay back. It's an experience that words can hardly do justice. My visit to Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness in Las Vegas was exceptional. The combination of a spotless facility and an array of amenities ensures your comfort and is ready to take on the world, making this spa a gem. , I highly recommend indulging in this spa's beautiful experiences. It's a 5-star spa for me. The fact that Forbes gave this spa four stars is beyond me and...

I used this spa while a guest at the Venetian, so I can't comment on the massages or other treatments they offer. The facilities themselves, though, were very nice and definitely helped me relax. I even went back a second day towards the end of our stay! However, I can see why some people might not like it.

The check-in process: seems needlessly confusing. If you're staying at the Venetian, you encounter a desk where you can pay and/or look up your previously booked appointment. Then you walk down a long, twisting hallway, which (I think) leads you into the Palazzo, where there is another such desk. The receptionist at the first desk told me not to stop at this second desk and to just go straight in. Then once inside the locker room you encounter yet another desk where they actually give you your shoes and a locker. And potentially a tour. Honestly, the quality of this part of the process seemed to vary dramatically based on time of day. The first time I went, it was close to when they opened with only one or two other people, so I got a complete tour and any questions answered. The second time was in the afternoon and I think the staff were assisting other guests. Luckily this time I didn't need a tour, but if it were my first visit I would have been confused and annoyed.

Locker rooms: are large and open. There's a small changing area behind a curtain if you're shy. Unlike other spas with push-code lockers, these have tiny key cards that you keep with you around your wrist.

Whirlpool: is oddly small. I would say max 6 people if they knew each other, maybe only 3 if they were strangers. There were six heated lounge benches around the pool which were comfortable, but not super relaxing in the echoing whirlpool room.

"Experiential rain showers": These things sounded fun on their website, but are way too cold to actually use.

"Igloo": If the rain showers weren't cold enough for you, here is an ice shower!!

Herbal laconium: Small, but nice. No steam, and not as hot as a sauna. Since I find both saunas and steam rooms oppressive and difficult to breathe in, this was good for me, but I can see how it might disappoint other people.

Relaxation lounge: Super comfortable! Lots of different kinds of comfortable chairs, so you'll find a good relaxation position no matter your preference. Although the space is actually relatively large, it still feels intimate through the use of curtains and furniture to create nooks. Also well-stocked with different magazines.

For me, the stand out at this spa were the co-ed spaces since I usually visit with my husband. Most such places are almost entirely segregated so I don't see him at all. Here some of my favorite rooms were the co-ed ones!!

Co-ed lounge: large and airy, but similar to the lady-only lounge, furniture clusters create more private nooks. Water features create a soothing background noise that drowns out other people's conversation.

Salt grotto: A relatively dark space with twinkle lights in the ceiling and heated benches. I really liked this room! Maybe I just miss the beach.

Wave room: This was my favorite room. It looks kind of weird when first entering, but just give it a chance and you'll get into it. It's incredibly quiet and round with a dome ceiling, where the colored lights of an ever-moving water fixture are reflected. You recline in padded loungers to stare at the ceiling (or take a nap!). Very relaxing!

Food/beverages: Like most spas, they provide bowls of fruit, iced water with lemon, iced tea, and, my favorite, MELON WATER. It's just water with melon balls in it, but is definitely an idea I will be copying at home. Refreshing!

Anyway, I can definitely see why some people might have had bad experiences at this spa. Like everything on the Strip, it's expensive, and may not be worth the price depending on what you like in a spa experience. The staff I encountered were all friendly and helpful, and the areas were all clean and cared for. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but I...

Spa review

The reason I feel so comfortable leaving this review is because I spoke directly to management about these issues and while they said they would address them, looking back on these 1star reviews for the first time, they are so similar and insanely accurate to my experience that it is clear they have not addressed these issues for some time. (This is coming from someone who typically disregards 1 star reviews as the outliers/difficult costumer.)

Perspective: A guest of the Venetian hotel with plenty of spa experiences.

The Good: Chris and Jeff our masseuse’s were phenomenal with deep tissue and trigger points techniques. They could seriously open their own practice in sport /deep tissue massages. Shout out to Han who booked our appointment the day prior, very welcoming and great energy.

The Bad: Not even the amazing massage could make up for the lacking of facilities, cleanliness and friendliness of the facility staff. As my partner put it, they really seemed to put the “hospital” in hospitality in terms of the vibe and feel of the place and staff.

The Ugly: Dust on the shelves above towels in the wet spa rooms. GROSS. Shower stall not restocked with their product (mind you these are large bottles) so if they are “empty empty”; it would leave me to believe multiple days between regularly checking and cleaning of these facilities. GROSS. Hot tub is both underwhelming lukewarm and can’t fit more than 2-3 adults comfortably at a time.

Someone said it an another comment but it does feel as the saunas rooms and experiences are all set to efficient eco setting or something.

Co ed waiting room was also large lack luster area with no shared water / wet spaces.

My partner didn’t even want to spend time in facilities after the massage. For what you’ll spend here, there a multitude of other spa experiences in Vegas worth experiencing over here.

We booked the appointment in person the day before. Since we knew it would be an early morning, we put deposit on card for services ahead of time as well as showed our IDs so we could just head into spa morning of without having to deal with paperwork first thing.

Morning of our spa day, we are greeted by Marlyn (sp?) who greeted us, was the rudest I have ever been greeted in a spa setting. My partner did not have her ID on her. When I mentioned we showed it the previous evening. Her response was “that was yesterday. This is today”. (FYI: The walk from a room at Venetian to the spa back to the room is about 10 minutes+/-.) When I stated that we wouldn’t be walking back to the room and I had my ID to verify the booking, Marlyn dismissed that, she then began asking my partner for different forms of ID, next asking for any pictures of said IDs, followed by asking for a LinkedIn account before finally doing us a favor by checking if my partners instagram account name matched the booking. I was stunned this was their check in procedure. It was fascinating; her tone, seriousness and attitude at 7am in spa setting was a feat to behold.

She made me so uncomfortable when I leaving, I asked another staff member to speak to a manager. When Marlyn came back out as the manager, I wanted to shrink away. (full disclosure, I did. I told her the masseuse were great and left, not feeling comfortable to air my notices to her.) I returned later to speak to the next manager who I told my observations as stated here.

They offered me a 25% discount but its not about the money and more so about spreading the transparency of these facilities, especially if you are accustomed to any sort of spas that command these prices, this spa will not meet your expectations. If accustomed to international 5star hotel spas/Korean spa…you will be even more let down.

If you read this novel, thanks and hope it helps you make an informed decision on where to have a spa experience other than Canyon Ranch Spa +...
