Going Thai in Vegas ~ WET - The Spa at TI
As I entered the WET spa at
the newly re-branded TI (Treasure Island Hotel) to check in for my Thai table
massage, I was expecting a slick, ultra-cool, lounge-style spa.
While that sounds great and
very Vegas, what I found was even better. The spa was a little more like a
“girls’ club.” Not overdone or pretentious, rather it was plush, well stocked
with all I desired, and staffed with friendly professionals.
For my treatment I was told
to wear yoga-style clothing, so they had me very curious about what I was
getting into!
My masseuse explained the
treatment to me and I knew I was going to love it. She described it as a “massage for the
joints.” It involved a combination of stretches along with intense pressure-point
massage. She literally got on the table with me and moved my body through a
series of poses. It was wonderful. I quickly understood why my friends who
have visited Thailand
love it.
This treatment isn’t for
everybody, but it can be adapted to fit different levels of flexibility. I
highly recommend it for runners or walkers because legs and hips are the major
focus. So many massages seem to ignore these wonderful hard-working muscle
groups, but trust me, you will be ready to dance all night when you are done.
As with most high-end spas,
WET has many little treats that come with your visit. Make sure you leave time
for a steam or sauna, and be sure to try all the great potions. I always leave
a spa in Vegas knowing I got my money’s worth – which is more than I can say
for the casino.
