There are many beautiful spas, but few so fantastically breathtaking as The Spa at Encore, part of Wynn Las Vegas. It’s both opulent and tasteful—something that Vegas has been perfecting through the efforts of the legendary Vegas hotelier Steve Wynn.
The spa lobby feels like a place where 18th century royalty might gather. Think Versailles, but more comfortable, with a touch of Asian calm. The whole room glows gold, with a huge Oriental carpet, Moroccan lamps, comfortable couches and chairs, and a vaulted ceiling that seems to let natural light warm the space.
You could just sit here for a while, quietly taking in all the beauty, and feel like you had a spa treatment. However, things get even better once you check in. A large male and female torso, inspired by classical Roman art, sit on either side of the spa reception, indicating the men’s and women’s locker rooms. Very witty!
Spa Encore has a full menu of spa treatments, including basics like a fifty-minute custom massage, Ayurvedic treatments like Shirodhara, a range of facials, a 75-minute desert stone massage, and signature treatments called “Transforming Rituals.”
Opulence and Luxury Experience
There are 51 treatment rooms at Spa Encore, including 14 garden suites that can accommodate two people, all within this 61,000 square-foot spa. Once inside, you will discover even more opulence and luxury, allowing relaxation to truly begin. There’s a room where you can unwind, and either watch a fire that is literally built into the wall, or view the flat-screen TV above.
When you’re ready to change into your robe, enter the actual locker room, where rich fabrics are tied back with strands of shells lining the doorways. Of course, there are private changing areas should you prefer that. Spa Encore offers all the relaxing amenities you would expect: showers, steam room, sauna, experience showers, and a room with hot and cold plunges, all beautifully designed. Arriving early is advisable to maximize your relaxation time even before your treatment begins.
The area where you wait for your therapist is adorned with Venetian glass chandeliers, and lined with blue, gold, and white fabrics that make you feel like royalty in a robe. When your therapist picks you up, you will be led into an area that is so beautiful it will leave you in awe. Generally, you expect to walk through a maze of hallways; instead, this large room features two long pathways laid with oriental carpet, enormous urns overflowing with water on either side, large Moroccan lanterns lighting the way, and a grand golden peacock at the end. It feels like a sacred space or temple.
Unique Treatment Options
Encore Escape is a 105-minute treatment that takes place in a Garden Suite, which features a shower area with natural light, enhancing the overall ambiance. If you’re experiencing couples treatments, it will be in one of these rooms. The Encore Escape begins with compression movements, where the therapist uses pressure on your skeletal structure to help muscles stretch and relax. Then she applies a hot, herb-filled poultice along your body’s energy pathways, introducing heat and therapeutic herbs into your system.
The treatment continues with the application of oil to your body, followed by lomi-lomi massage techniques that utilize forearms for optimal coverage. Additionally, hot stones are used along the full length of your body, and a heat pack is placed on your back while the therapist works on your legs.
At the end of the session, a scalp massage with Ayurvedic oils is provided, ensuring you leave happy, though perhaps feeling a bit greasy. However, any residual oiliness can be addressed at the salon, which boasts ten stylists, four colorists, and plenty of staff for manicures and pedicures.
Spa Facilities and Services
The Spa at Encore also includes two movement studios offering spinning, yoga, Pilates, conditioning, and meditation classes. You can also opt for personal training services in the gym or stop by the organic juice and smoothie bar near The Spa.
