Holiday Respite
With the Strip full of cowboys and your shopping bag full of presents, now is a great time to indulge in the flavorful concoctions at the off-Strip spas. One of our favorite is the Cocoa and Spice Treatments at Aquae Sulis Spa at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa (877-869-8777). Choose from a facial, manicure and pedicure package or detoxify your entire system with a whole body treatment that begins with a Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub, moves to a Pumpkin Cream and Hungarian Cocoa Powder body wrap and ends with a massage using Sugar Plum Souffle Cream. Cardamom essential oils and green tea extract help pull the built up toxins from your system.
Spa experts say getting rid of toxins can help alleviate aches and pains, and I can attest to the validity of that concept. After indulging in my heat wrap that smelled deliciously of cocoa, my joints seemed to move better as well as offer less pain. Many believe that detoxification wraps should be done at the change of each season to prepare your body for the coming changes. With the winter solstice approaching, what better excuse does one need?
