The Spa at ARIA

The Spa at ARIA is located inside ARIA Resort & Casino at 3730 S Las Vegas Blvd, in the CityCenter district of the Center Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. The spa draws on Japanese influences, most visibly in its heated stone ganbanyoku beds, a Japanese-style bedrock bathing practice in which guests lie on warmed stone to relax. Other thermal features include a Shio salt room and an ice room, giving visitors a hot-to-cold sequence similar to a traditional bathhouse circuit. The signature treatment is the Gemstone Journey, which pairs a salt-stone massage with a gemstone facial. The wider menu includes massage, facials and salon services. Massages start from about $200, and treatments run from 50 to 110 minutes, with the longer sessions typically reserved for combination services such as the signature journey. The spa operates daily by appointment, and reservations are recommended, particularly on weekends and holidays. Booking details are available through the ARIA website. The resort is part of the MGM Resorts portfolio, and the spa follows the contemporary, minimalist look of the CityCenter complex rather than a themed concept. Visitors travelling from other Strip resorts can reach ARIA by the CityCenter tram or on foot from neighbouring Bellagio, though the walk through the casino can take several minutes. Robes and lockers are provided, and guests who arrive early can use the ganbanyoku, salt and ice areas before their treatment. Visitors unfamiliar with the Japanese-style rooms may wish to ask staff for guidance on how long to stay in each.
