The chance to spend four hours completely blissed out in a spa? Honestly, say less. When I was offered the opportunity to enjoy the All You Can Spa Luxe Package at Spa at The LINQ in Las Vegas, I was ready to jump for joy.
Stepping through the doors of this spa is a more-than-welcome change from the bustling activity right outside. On my spa day, I entered the hotel from the Linq Promenade, and then made my way through the casino floor to the back elevators.
When I stepped off, all of the stress I felt walking through the crowds and jangling slot machines immediately disappeared.

The spa originally opened in 2015, but in all my trips to Las Vegas, I had never been inside. Honestly, I can’t believe it took this long! After exiting the elevator, I walked through a small retail area with boldly hued swimwear, accented with beautiful crystals and glamorous gold accents.
The pathway to reception is outfitted with geometric-patterned tiles in shades of white, charcoal gray, and black, while the walls are awash in deep teal paint that echoes the look of crashing waves on the shore. The overall vibe emits an air of calming tranquility.

Many Las Vegas spas are unbelievably large — bigger is better in Vegas, after all — but the 15,000 square feet of space here are undeniably impressive. Inside are a Himalayan salt cave, multiple jacuzzis and eucalyptus steam rooms, large locker rooms with showers and an array of amenities, and a lounge area.
Aside from the locker rooms, these areas are co-ed, so you must wear a swimsuit — and the spa actually has some for sale for $35 if you’ve forgotten to bring one.
Sadly, I didn’t have the time to experience the salt cave or hot tub on this visit as I needed to leave fairly soon after my appointment to get ready for dinner. But that just means I need to come back ASAP!

But the treatments — oh, the treatments. Whether you love getting multiple treatments on a spa day, or you’re feeling too indecisive to choose only one, the All You Can Spa Luxe Package is the perfect way to spend the day.
This package includes a whopping four hours of spa treatments, and there are so many different ones you can pick from to truly customize your day and create a bespoke spa experience.
The treatments are broken up into three categories: Starters of Serenity (massages), Entrées of Radiance (facials), and Desserts of Renewal (body treatments). You can choose whichever treatments call to you, as long as they add up to four hours.
I knew I wanted a massage, facial, and body wrap, so I chose one of each. For the massage portion, there were options of Sport Deep Tissue (80 or 100 minutes), Restoration Mind & Body (100 minutes), and CBD Wellness Ritual (50 or 80 minutes).
The 100-minute Restoration Mind & Body Massage immediately jumped out at me, because quite frankly, I would spend a full day on the massage table if I could!

Now I just needed to round out my facial and body treatment offerings. After much pondering, I went with the 50-Minute Firm & Lift Anti Aging Facial and the 50 Minute Papaya-Pineapple Crème Fraîche Body Wrap. There was also one more facial and two other body treatments, but these sounded the most intriguing to me.
After changing into my plush gray robe and slippers, I went to the relaxation lounge. I will say the lounge could be a bit bigger, especially since it’s co-ed and the spa tends to get busy.
However, I never had a problem getting one of the loungers before or in between my treatments. I loved the customizable sparkling water machine, and after much deliberation, I chose a peach-flavored water. There are also refrigerated drinks and a coffee maker.

Now it was time for my treatments to begin — I started with the massage. My massage therapist, Heather, actually read my preference sheet and focused on my needs, which I’ll say was a welcome departure from other massages I’ve had in the past.
I came in with significant pressure in my shoulders and lower back, and she spent at least half of the time kneading out knot after knot in my glutes, shoulder blades, and tailbone. I could actually feel the pain and pressure leaving my body with every stroke.
I also loved the massage table, which could be raised and lowered in multiple directions — so, instead of using a bolster under my ankles, she lifted only the bottom part of the bed. It was much more comfortable this way. Heather applied medium to firm pressure, using smooth strokes that left me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

After my massage, I was treated to lunch, which is also part of the spa package. I selected the Chicken Caesar Salad, and it was waiting for me on a tray in the lounge along with a small glass of champagne — such a lovely touch!
The Firm & Lift Anti Aging Facial was next. As you might imagine, this facial focuses on tightening, firming, and bringing life back to dull, aging skin. I wouldn’t say my skin is dull or aging, per se, but I’ve definitely spotted more wrinkles and less glow recently, so this was right up my alley.
Dermalogica is one of my favorite skincare brands, so I was thrilled to learn the facial is done with their products. After double cleansing my skin, my facialist mixed Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant with another exfoliant to create a physical scrub. I actually had the choice between physical or chemical exfoliation, but went with the former since I was experiencing a lot of dryness and shedding.
She then cleansed my skin with a Clarisonic skin brush before going in for some light extractions. After applying a face mask, she let it sit for about 15 minutes while I received a hand massage, foot massage, and shoulder massage. The massage finished with application of moisturizer, and my skin looked and felt so glowy and firm afterward.

My final treatment of the day was the Papaya-Pineapple Crème Fraîche Body Wrap. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect, and I chose it solely because it sounded deliciously sweet — and I was right! It was sweet without being overly cloying or strong.
I began facedown on the massage table, and my therapist dry brushed my legs, arms, and back before applying the cream with deep, even strokes. I then flipped over so he could do the same on my feet, legs, arms, and shoulders.
He then wrapped me up in foil and warm towels like a burrito and proceeded to give me such a relaxing hand and foot massage that I fell into a deep sleep on the table. We’re talking so deep that I caught myself snoring! I had no idea I would basically be wrapped and massaged into a trance-like state, but that’s exactly what happened.
After about 20 minutes, the body treatment was taken off with hot towels, and then I sadly had to remove myself from the table and get back into my robe.
I cannot stress enough how little stress I felt as I finished my four hours of bliss. This was such a unique spa experience — I loved the combination of treatments I chose, but I appreciated how many different ways there are to fully customize your day.

The All You Can Spa Luxe Package starts at $625. There’s also a slightly less pricey (but by no means less indulgent) experience which is the All You Can Spa Package, starting at $500. This one has different massage, body, and facial treatments to pick from, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes, and includes a glass of champagne.
