When the excesses of Las Vegas get the best of you, you have options. You can draw the curtains, don a sleep mask, and curse the heavens as you curl into bed with a 32-ounce Gatorade—or you can take a more proactive route. With the endless line of extravagant hotels on the Strip comes an equally endless selection of luxury spas that can help soothe an aching head or body. Most offer the expected services: massages, manicures, facials, waxing, et cetera. But a few offer twists on the traditional treatments for a Las Vegas massage and spa experience you won’t forget.

See the Only Snow in Vegas

The service: A session in the Arctic Ice Room 
Where to find it: Qua Spa at Caesars Palace 
Claims to fame: Named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s top 50 resort spas in the US; only Arctic Ice Room in the world 

When the thermostat reads 55º F, something’s usually wrong. That’s not the case at Qua Spa’s Arctic Ice Room, a temperature-controlled paradise with a dome ceiling and sleek, glass-tiled walls. There, heated floors and benches keep you comfortable as faux snow falls from above, gently tickling your skin as you breathe in fresh, mint-scented air. Before or after any treatment at the spa, settle into the room, grab a handful of ice chips for a little added refreshment, and jumpstart a sluggish circulatory system.

Diamonds Are Your Back’s Best Friend

The service: Balancing Diamonds Massage 
Where to find it: The Spa at the Trump 

For the ultimate in opulence, just add some diamonds to your massage oil. When you go for a Balancing Diamonds Massage at the Spa at the Trump, massage therapists work the body with a pure essential oil infused with actual crushed-up diamonds. The spa also offers massages with emeralds, rubies, or sapphires, in case you want to match your spa service to your birthstone.

Let Someone Else Stretch for You

The service: Watsu Massage 
Where to find it: Spa & Salon at the Bellagio 

There aren’t any lifeguards at the private pool in this spa. It’s just you and a massage therapist in the 94º F pool, where he or she keeps you afloat while gently stretching your limbs with zen shiatsu massage techniques. The experience is said to be incredibly relaxing and grounding. Just remember to bring your bathing suit—they’re required.

Visit a Steamy Oasis in the Desert

The service: A session in the Herbal Laconium
Where to find it: Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian and Palazzo 
Claim to fame: At 134,000 square feet, it claims to be one of the largest spas in the world 

With more than 120 services and activities, it might be hard to narrow down a favorite. But if you can take the heat, give Canyon Ranch SpaClub’s Herbal Laconium a try. Part of Aquavana, the spa’s European-style “aquathermal oasis,” the laconium emits herb-infused steam for you to drink in while sitting on one of the six recessed seats along the wall.

Cure a Hangover with an IV and Chair Massage

The service: Royal Flush treatment 
Where to find it: Reviv at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino 

When your usual hangover-cure options aren’t enough, it might be time for the Royal Flush treatment at Reviv. It’s the medical spa’s most comprehensive IV package, designed to get you ultra-hydrated, detoxified, and un-hangovered while you sit back and relax in a full-body massage chair.
