When walking down the long orchid and wooden arches-adorned hallway that leads from the Grand Spa’s lobby to the spa, you’ll feel as though you’re leaving the busy MGM Grand Hotel and Casino and entering a portal into another universe where peace and serenity are the order of the day. Though the spa seems small given the “grandness” of the MGM, it is comfortable and earthy with rock walls and wood accents in an Asian-theme similar to many other Las Vegas spas.

Located next to the Grand Pool Complex, the spa, which actually encompasses 30,000 square feet, features separate men’s and women’s spas, including saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools, a fitness center, and more than 20 treatment rooms as well as private suites and couples treatment areas.

Grand Spa offers an extensive menu of massages, facials, body treatments, signature treatments, waxing, manicures, and pedicures. One of their specialties is Ayurveda, special East Indian-inspired holistic treatments that use customized products with 20 to 30 individual essential oils, all with the intention of achieving wellness and harmony. Grand Spa’s wide variety of massages are designed with target audiences in mind; there are massages for those new to massages, for those who aren’t new but want to relax, for those looking to relieve tension in a specific area, for those who are pressed for time, for those who want a unique experience, and massages for couples and gentlemen. They also offer three tandem massages, unlike many other spas which typically only offer one. The Nirvana signature massage is especially recommended and involves Ayurvedic oils with Abhyanga massage, Shirodhara hot oil, hot stones, a cool eye mask, foot balancing massage, and soothing music for a full-body relaxation experience.

Also try the facials, which use advanced products and clinical technologies to cleanse, buff, and moisturize your skin to a healthy glow. The Slim and Sculpt Body Treatment and the Toning Marine Gel Wrap are also great for a hydrating and detoxifying body treatment that also revitalizes the figure. The prices at Grand Spa can be a little steep, however, so selecting one of the packages is highly recommended. At the end of the day at Grand Spa, you’ll be refreshed, beautiful, and ready to head back to the real world – though you may not want to.
