The wow-factor is certainly in play at this ritzy rejuvenation center. Taking pointers from the Spa at Wynn, Encore carries the Asian theme further with glowing gold lanterns, life-size Buddhas and blossoming orchids. The expansive reception area looks like the lobby of a luxury hotel rather than a sterile spa environment (with plenty of pillow-laden couches for lounging), while the locker rooms are unusually bright and airy. The separate men’s and women’s spaces are sprawling in size, with large saunas and steams rooms, as well as just about any amenity you might need to refresh post-treatment. But it’s not just about the décor; technology plays a part as well. State-of-the-art waterfall showers use digital screens to let you control water temperature, water pressure from the six shower heads, and mood lighting, and the personal lockers don’t require keys. A transformation ritual might be just what you need after a long losing battle in the casino. Try the lavender stone ritual ($250), which incorporates lavender and sea salt to calm frayed nerves, or the vitamin infusion facial ($200), giving your system a boost of vitamins and collagen to heal damaged skin. The onsite salon offers everything from manicures and pedicures to cuts and colors, as well as a full menu of traditional barbership services. You can also buy a day pass and enjoy all of the outrageous amenities of the spa without a treatment. It may be the best $30 you spend in Vegas.
