The Spa at Harrah’s

Best little spa on the Las Vegas strip! The Best techs in town !! Adriann and Ed for massage, Carol and Natalie for facials, and everyone in the salon .That’s where I always go when I’m in Vegas. Plus they’ve been there for many years so they know their stuff. Very friendly crew !!!

I would not recommend the beauty staff for a special event. I visited with my sister for a special anniversary vow renewal. I brought pictures and was relatively relaxed about the outcome, but was so disappointed! My hair looked awful and like a big mess of teasing versus the curls and 50s style I wanted. My sister was also not pleased with her style. The makeup application was a joke. My lashes were placed unevenly and there was no discussion of colors or style desired. I tried to explain (again with photos), but it was like the skill level was severely missing. I was devastated and I felt like the Spa did not care. What was worse is that we did not have any time to fix the style on our own. I am saddened that Harrah’s does not employ more talented staff!

This spa is smaller but cute. The dressing and locker room is connected to a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, ladies room and shower. Reminds me of a college common shower area. Lol.
I did get a massage and facial. I got Adrienne as my massage therapist and she was great. A little strong on the fingers but felt great after. Relaxed and revived. We did exchanged a few tips as for being in the same industry. She is friendly, strong and efficient. I’d highly recommend her. The prices for massages here are not too steep so it is worth it.
My facial was not till the next day and it was good. Cleanse, steamed and extractions the old fashion way, with SPF moisturizer at the end. Clean, glowing and relaxed. I couldn’t remember my estheticians name but she was nice.
I’m actually a harder person to please when it comes to spa services because I know what I’m suppose to get.
Here’s my breakdown:
Massage: 5 star
Facial: 4 star
Ambience: 4 star
Cleanliness: 4 star
Reception: 4 star
Locker Room: 4.5 star
Steam Room: 4 star
Sauna: 4.5 star
Jacuzzi: 4 star
Ladies room: 5 star Very clean and extra amenities
Shower: N/​A I was on the same floor as the spa, so I went back to my room to shower.
Overall, this is a great place with great service. Needs some modernization and updating but still a very nice and relaxing area. The massage room was small, clean and relaxing. The esthetic room was a little bigger, clean and relaxing.

I woke up on Sunday with a stack of hundreds in my wallet and thought I had a huge night on the blackjack table, so I treated myself like royalty the next six hours before catching a flight out.
Monday, I checked my ATM withdrawals. Crap.
In between though, I indulged in a lovely massage at Harrah’s (we happened to be right near it when the massage bug hit) to try to quell some of my hangover symptoms. It was rather successful, as my masseuse was great (they used to be a sports physical therapist) and everyone was incredibly friendly. Had I wanted to stay longer, the location provided an included spa area with hot tub and steam room, a nice touch.
For reference, I spent $ 115 (I believe) for a 50-​minute session. Would recommend, only con would be the location is kind of tricky if you’re not staying at the hotel (kind of hidden on the fourth floor).

I’ve had a couple massages so I knew what to expect. My gf was a virgin so I was hoping for a great experience for her. Upon arriving I explained that I was responsible for both massages and my gf was not to given a receipt. We had to wait some time in the locker room. My gf went with her masseuse before I. As soon as I arrived in my room and was instructed how she wanted me to proceed I noticed the receipt. It was only mine. I told her she had to go find my gf’s because she was not going to put in a position to feel responsible. I don’t understand why this was an issue.
The masseuse used WAY too much oil. In my experience they use oil/​lotion as needed. Mine lathered my back, arms and neck before starting. I felt like a Sunday Roast. About half way through the massage, I started to enjoy the experience but I don’t know that i was worth the money. I’ve had better.
Next time I’m in Vegas, I’ll probably try another Spa.

This 5 star review goes to Natalie, Esthetician at Harrahs Spa. I just had the best facial in my life and I have many! She is experienced, professional, and explained every detail as she completed the 80 minute facial. No one likes extractions, but ya gotta do it. She was so thorough and gave me my best treatment ever. I could go on but you get the picture. As a former day spa owner, she’s the best for a great facial and cleansing. The spa isn’t very tranquil — they had the tv going loudly right over the hot tub, no waiting area, but the facial was awesome!

Date of event: 4÷28÷2012
I booked a mani pedi at 9am for my wedding. I had to wait for about 10 minutes while the employees walked in even though I got there right at 9am. I paid the $ 15 upgrade to the gel shellac because the manicurist convinced me that it would last 2 weeks. When she finished I asked her about the lines that were showing up on the white portion of my nail. She said yeah it happens but it will go away when the polish dries completely. The lines never went away. So I couldn’t take any upclose pictures of my hands for my wedding because my nails had lines in them. The polish also separated on one of my nails the next day. All of the polish peeled off after 1 week of doing nothing but laying by the pool. Overall — not worth it. I paid $ 115 after the tip for the manicurist and did not tip the spa desk because they were very unfriendly.

Most important, $ 200 was stolen out of my wallet which was locked in the locker that I was assigned upon check-​in. I’ll provide more details shortly as to why I am sure that the theft was committed by an employee.
I made a last minute appointment for my girlfriend and I, as I had some winnings from the craps table the night before and we both needed to recover from the weekend in Vegas. Harrah’s was the closest spa that had availability on such short notice so we jumped at the opportunity. Upon entering the casino we asked a security officer where the spa was located (I believe he was the security operations trainer) and he personally escorted us to the spa. I felt that was a great touch, and it helped us out as the spa was very far from where we had entered the casino.
The receptionists at the spa were friendly and helped us check-​in quickly. They asked how I wanted to pay, and I first mentioned by credit card. They were about to accept my payment, but I quickly decided to pay with cash, as I had about $ 675 (which I counted before arriving) in cash from my gambling during the weekend. As soon as I pulled out a few $ 100 bills they quickly asked me to pay after the treatments (odd, eh?). We were given lockers in exchange for our IDs and were led into the locker rooms. I made sure to lock my wallet in the locker since I had so much cash on hand. I proceeded to my treatment room with my massage therapist and made sure to keep the key with me at all times.
The massage was overall good, not the best I have had, but certainly worth the money. I was offered a peppermint foot massage upgrade and that definitely helped my feet recover from all of the walking. Afterward I spent some time in the jacuzzi and the steam room, which I both enjoyed. I showered, dressed and proceeded to pay at the reception desk. I paid for the treatment, but noticed that of the 6 $ 100 bills I came in with, I only had 4. I mentioned this to the receptionist and at the time the manager walked in. I told her that I was missing money asked if there were other keys to the lockers. She pointed to a large ring of keys hanging freely at the desk and said the master key was on this ring. I asked about a key check-​out log and she had none. She even mentioned that the keys were kept at the desk because they had cameras on the desk and they had many theft issues in the past.
I asked to report this theft to the security team, but she called and was informed that it would take about 15 minutes for an officer to arrive. We had to leave to catch a flight home so I later phoned in a report to their team. The officer I spoke with on the phone was very nice and sympathetic and informed me that their risk management team would get in touch with me after they reviewed the case. I am still waiting for a response.
I am very suspicious about the fact that the receptionist asked me to wait to pay after seeing that I had a large amount of cash. Also that they didn’t take everything from my wallet and left me with enough to pay for my treatments. The keys hanging at the desk with no real security was also suspicious as any employee could take the keys or make a copy for their use later. The manager was not even in charge of the keys!
Make your own conclusions, but I am outraged that this happened!

Have stayed at Harrah’s in Las Vegas a couple of times, but was a first time visitor to the spa on this last trip. Made an appointment for my daughter and I to get 80 minute massages. Overall a good experience.
Our appointments were for 11:30 a.m. but my daughter wanted to use the gym early in the morning before breakfast. She went to the spa and told them she had an appointment later in the day, but wanted to use the gym early and they just waved her in. The gym and spa are small, but very clean and all the basics are there — sort of like the hotel!
A hostess gave us robes and slippers and lockers and pointed out where we could get fresh fruit, water, juice and tea. There was a small jacuzzi (which my daughter spent a few minutes in) and a steam room. But frankly we were there for the massage, not the other amenities.
And the massages were great! Both of us felt that the staff listened to our preferences. Just enough conversation at the start to make you feel comfortable, then a long quiet massage. We didn’t use the shower facilities as it seemed easier to just go back to our room and get cleaned up. But the shower area looked sparkling clean and there were toothbrushes and hair brushes/​combs, deodorant, hair products, etc. Everything you would need. Even shaving lotion and disposable razors!
If you want a full spa day with lots of time spent soaking in tubs (and you want to pay more $$) then I think the spa at Caesars is where to go. But if you want a good massage at a fair price I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this little spa.

I went there for a massage. I had Tina as my therapist, she is great and knows what she is doing for sure. But overall the experience was just average. The spa has a jacuzzi and a sauna. But the sauna was not working properly, so people kept coming out of it very red and looking like they were about to get heat rashes. The jacuzzi was very small so you could overhear other people’s conversations even if they were whispering. The spa does not have a waiting area therefore the therapist walks through the spa screaming your name when they look for you. And for some massage rooms you have to walk through the health spa while people are exercising, I felt that was a bit weird and uncomfortable.
