11 lavish spa hotels in Las Vegas, including artificial snow rooms and three acres of outdoor pools
Vegas spas are world famous, which makes sense: after a few days of indulging in food, drink, and gambling, a steam and a sweat is just what the doctor ordered. The best resorts on the Strip constantly try to outdo each other with bigger and better spas, many of which are exclusively accessible by hotel guests (some, however, conveniently offer day passes). If a first-class facial or Swedish massage is a top priority during your stay in Sin City, check out these recommended hotels.
