When it comes to spa treatments, I’ve always said I’ll try anything at least once. I didn’t know quite how far I’d take that statement when I was presented with the possibility of getting a customized robotic massage — but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so I definitely had to check it out.
Enter Qua Baths & Spa, which is located at Caesars Palace in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. I had heard glowing reviews of this spa for years and it was at the top of my list of Vegas spas to visit. When I was offered the opportunity to come in for a few treatments, including an Aescape massage, I simply had to say yes.

Caesars Palace could only be described as bustling, even on the slowest of days. I stayed in the Colosseum Tower at the hotel and was completely immersed in the busy coming and going of Vegas visitors, so I definitely welcomed the chance to slow down and zone out. Luckily, that happened the moment I stepped off the elevators.
Qua Baths & Spa is designed to feel like you are entering the Roman baths, and it absolutely delivers. The 50,000-square-foot spa features light brown stone walls, wooden floors, and a variety of calming water features. Inside the locker room you’ll find a Roman laconium, multiple hot tubs, and a steam room.
But the true pièce de resistance is the igloo ice room, which features “snow” falling from the ceiling — yes, it’s quite cold inside, but it is absolutely worth spending a moment or two surrounded by the blissful beauty.

I enjoyed multiple treatments at the spa, but my experience began with the Aescape Recovery Focus massage. This 30-minute session is powered by intelligent technology and completely customized to your massage preferences.
After changing into a skintight tee and pants that resembled a wetsuit, I was led to my Aescape massage room. Inside, I found the Aescape massage table, which is offset by two large white robotic arms.
Underneath the face cradle is an iPad, which is used to customize a variety of preferences like pressure strength, areas to focus on, music, and lighting — all of which can continue to be reworked throughout the session.

I truly didn’t know what to expect before this session, but I was thoroughly pleased to discover I really enjoyed it. While the robotic arms don’t feel exactly like a human’s, I have to say they come fairly close.
I appreciated that I could adjust the pressure throughout the session, and, thanks to a check-in on the iPad during the halfway point, I could even change which areas I wanted more focus on. I increased the pressure during the 30 minutes and changed my area of deeper focus to my glutes instead of shoulders.
There are many different music settings to choose from as well, including sounds like ocean waves and raindrops, Top 40, rock, or even a Cardi B playlist.
I left the room after 30 minutes feeling completely rejuvenated, and the tight knots in my shoulders and glutes had definitely loosened. And this was only the start of my incredible spa experience.

After removing the Aescape suit and changing into a fluffy robe, I headed to the lounge area, which is replete with multiple cozy lounge chairs, water, tea, and light snacks.
My next treatment was the Celestial Black Diamond Body Treatment, which is designed to hydrate and brighten the skin. My therapist offered me a choice of three different scented oils which all smelled divine — I went with a lavender-infused one for calming.

I finished my day of spa treatments with the Rose Radiance Facial, whose cornerstone is the Rose Gold Brightening Facial Mask infused with genuine 24-karat gold and rose extracts. My skin had been looking and feeling a bit worse for wear, with multiple dry patches along my forehead and cheeks, so I was especially excited to banish those dry spots to the curb.
My facialist, who was actually the same person who did my body treatment, was superb. After cleansing, toning, and exfoliating my skin, she did a face massage using ice globes, which I loved. I could feel my skin tightening and firming while she glided them around my cheeks, jaw, and forehead.
Then, she applied the face mask and let it work its magic while she gave me a mind-numblingly fantastic upper body massage. She finished the treatment by removing the mask and applying moisturizer and SPF.
Afterward, I was soft, smooth, and glowing literally from head to toe. I couldn’t believe what a difference was made in less than two hours on the table!

My first visit to Qua Baths & Spa absolutely did not disappoint, and I cannot wait to return. This is a true gem of the Las Vegas Strip, and definitely a spa I recommend visiting when you’re in town.
The Aescape Recovery Focus Massage starts at $88 for a 30-minute treatment. The Celestial Black Diamond Body starts at $240 for a 50-minute treatment. The Rose Radiance Facial starts at $220 for a 50-minute treatment.
