Wellness in the Heart of Sin City: Top Tips from Spa Director Shannon Mariani

Las Vegas is a city known for non-stop nightlife, entertainment and excitement. Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas Spa Director Shannon Mariani says it is possible to find relaxation and balance; you just have to know where to look. She and her team share their top wellness recommendations:

1. Poolside Cabana: Indulge poolside in the comfort of a private poolside cabana. Enjoy a healthy lunch, read a book and soak in the beneficial vitamin D.

2. Day at the Spa: Book a Climate Quench Facial in the Spa to restore hydration and balance to your skin, or draw out impurities with our signature Cupping Therapy. Using a specialized technique, this service won’t leave you covered with unsightly marks, and you can head straight out to your night on the Las Vegas Strip.

3. Yoga: Book a private yoga session on the outdoor Fountain Terrace, offering a lush, tranquil environment complete with a bubbling fountain and chirping birds. Venture off property to Evolution Yoga, offering aerial and other specialized practices, or head to Body Shine for their signature AcroYoga, emphasizing acrobatics with a partner.

4. Stargaze at Red Rock Canyon: Have the Concierge arrange a night tour to see the brilliant desert skyscape and sparkling constellations.

5. Salt Room Therapy: There are many local spots that specialize in salt therapy – or halotherapy – which is shown to have many therapeutic benefits. Salt is both naturally anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, and the salt room environment is peaceful and soothing, making this a healthy way to unwind in an urban setting. Check out Salt Room LV for special events, which range from singing-bowl therapy to full-moon meditation.

6. Eat your Greens: Balance the indulgence of a lavish buffet with a healthy meal. Las Vegas has options fit for every foodie, ranging from the vegan tasting menu in Veranda to raw cuisine at Simply Pure or plant-based street food at Vegenation.

7. Unwind with Infared: Head to Elevated Infared Sauna Studio to unwind after a night on the town. The radiant heat surrounds you, while penetrating deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues to increase oxygen flow and circulation.
