Luxurious Indulgences

M Social Media Team — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:23:12 +0000

We all at one time or another have dreamed about the suite life, or maybe you’re already living it! Either way, we’ve rounded up some of the most luxurious things we have at our four-star resort and we’re ready to share them with you!

A Lavish Treat

At $235 Spa Mio’s New Signature Massage is the crème de la crème of spa treatments. Offering relaxation and rejuvenation from head to toe, this new service is a customized pressure massage with Reflexology and Cranial techniques. It features a signature blend of Balance and Citrus Bliss doTERRA Essential Oils. And since we’re all about luxury, add-on a Warm Oil Scalp Massage to bring this treatment to the next level.

The Suite Life

At 2,400 square feet and with 270º views of the Las Vegas Valley, the Loft Suite is simply breathtaking. The architectural details are exquisite and the drop-down flat screen in the master bedroom is a welcomed added touch. Other cool features include the separate steam shower, freestanding spa tub, etched glass, a modern marble staircase, and the same mirror finished metal featured throughout the resort. It also has two living room areas, a wet bar, and a pop-up big screen and it’ll only cost you $1,500 per night.

Sips Worth Savoring

At $11,000 a bottle and rated at a perfect 100 points, Saint-Émilion, Château Ausone, Grand Cru Classé ‘A’ 2005 is a bottle worth savoring and saving! It is said this wine will no doubt be drinking well a century from now since Château Ausone continues to age after the first 50 years it is bottled. If you’re looking for a wine to truly wow, try the 1982 Château Pétrus, Pomerol at a distinguished $14,900 per bottle. It is a bold and spicy wine, 95 percent Merlot and 5 percent Cabernet Franc. An interesting side note, both the Saint-Émilion and Château Pétrus are from Bordeaux, France and the estates nearly border each other. At these prices, we’d be savoring every sip.

If you could live in pure luxury for one day, which of these would you choose? Let us know if there was something we missed!

Why We Spa

Most people will tell you that they love a day spent in the spa. After all, it’s a day filled with relaxation and time to oneself. But beyond the obvious relaxation that spas provide, there are definite health benefits to a spa visit.

Mental Benefits

Because most of us don’t spend just 40 hours punching a clock, we need time to unwind and rejuvenate. The effect of stress in our daily lives has been heavily researched in recent years and our bodies and our brains are definitely feeling it. A day at the spa can help alleviate anxiety and bring about a deep state of relaxation. Now that’s a mental benefit!

Physical Benefits

It’s common knowledge that if we take good care of our bodies and our skin, we’ll not only feel young, but we’ll look younger too. The multitude of facials available at today’s spas, like Spa Mio’s Youth Defense Facial, can help our skin stay fresh, hydrated, and supple. The Youth Defense Facial actually awakens collagen production for firmer, tighter, and a more radiant complexion.

Detoxification

To put it simply, it means the process of removing unwanted toxins and excess fluids from the body. It’s well known that the toxins we ingest, whether through food or drink or even the air we breathe, often cause unwanted break-outs and leave us feeling puffy. Just one day spent at the spa can help purge those toxins from our bodies, eliminating bloating and excess water retention leaving us feeling great.

Pain Management

With the hustle and bustle of today’s world, we often overexert ourselves, not just mentally but physically too as we try to maintain our bodies and our stressful schedules. A therapeutic massage may be just what the doctor ordered to help alleviate that pain and leave you with a renewed sense of energy. It uses deep strokes and pressure to relieve tense muscles and assist with pain management.

Spa menus today can often times be confusing or even overwhelming. A well-educated staff will be able to help you make a decision that best meets your needs. At Spa Mio, our Forbes four-star salon and spa, the staff is helpful and will anticipate your needs by asking the right questions. So, discover the benefits of a spa day and book your visit to Spa Mio today!

Best Ways to Cool Down in the Desert

M Social Media Team — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 20:34:42 +0000

It’s August in Vegas and we’ve got some fresh ways to enjoy the summer and beat the heat– from cool pools, to cool brews and even soothing spa services.

Since the weather’s great most of the year in Las Vegas, you can take advantage of the pool scene until October so taking a dip in a spectacular pool should definitely be on the stay cool list!

The M Pool is known for its spacious deck and upscale amenities. Daybeds provide a front row view that’s perfect for people-watching and offers a convenient way to take a dip. VIP cabanas are equipped with a personal Jacuzzi (that can fit up to four of your friends), flat screen television, ceiling fan and a refrigerator to keep all your favorite libations cold. For an alternative to cabanas and daybeds, take up residence in one of the water chairs that are placed directly in the pool to get the best of both worlds. But you need to be quick, water chairs are issued on a first-come, first-served basis!

DayDream Pool Club at M Resort is another pool alterative that’s open exclusively for adults 21 and over every Saturday, Sunday and Monday and provides its own brand of poolside fun. The party gets into full gear with a list of celebrity DJ’s setting the scene for mixing and mingling and enjoying frosty libations around the ice-railed bar or hand-delivered to you by one of the friendly servers.

There are plenty of ways to cool off indoors too. Pamper your summer skin with a Tropical Fruit Polish Massage just steps away from the pool inside Spa Mio. There’s a reason this spa is one of only 105 in the world to be awarded with the Four Star award: Impeccable service and amenities are a mainstay at this must-try spa. The one-of-a-kind Tropical Fruit Polish offers a saltmousse exfoliation treatment and incorporates papaya-pineapple or mango passion fruit to soothe and brighten your skin.

If getting out of the sun means catching the biggest sports games, then 32° Beer Bar is your ticket. Not only can you catch all the sports action on too many screens to count, but you can have your pick of over 90 select and craft beers on tap at the coldest temperature in town. Classic lagers, ales and even stouts are on the lengthy menu for both the discerning beer authority or if you just want to order your favorite cold one. Either way, staying cool in the dessert could be easier and a lot more fun than you ever thought!

Amenities That Make You Say Ahh…

M Social Media Team — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:49:50 +0000

If you’ve ever visited a spa, you know there’s more to these relaxing sanctuaries than just the treatment or service you’ve booked. This is especially true when it comes to our four-star awarded Spa Mio. At 23,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art spa offers must-try amenities around every corner.

Complimentary Refreshments.
Yes, you read right. While you’ll find the staples like bottled water and fresh fruit, Spa Mio offers something extra; its own signature spritzer, the Cranberry Spritzer. Mixing cranberry and pineapple juice served over ice, this spritzer is the perfect cooling complement to a relaxing spa day.

Eucalyptus Steam Room. This isn’t just a regular steam room. Step inside this tiled room and you’ll smell the difference. Spa Mio sprays Eucalyptus essential oil into the room helping you to relax and aiding to relieve those stuffy nasal passages and rehydrate your skin.

Fitness Center. Start the day off on the right foot by using Spa Mio’s fitness center prior to your treatment. Stocked with all the essential fitness equipment from free weights to treadmills there’s nothing like working up a little invigorating sweat before relaxing.

Jacuzzi. There’s more to these relaxing pools than meets the eye. With high-pressured jets circulating the water and targeting certain pressure points in your body Jacuzzis are the perfect place to reduce stiff joints and aching muscles.

Retail Boutique. After a day of pampering who wouldn’t want that feeling to last a little longer? Spa Mio keeps all their spa products right up front by checkout so you can take a little piece of that heavenly feeling home with you.

The Odds and Ends. From the absolutely fresh, cushy robes to the special spa sandals, slipping these little complements on automatically makes a person relax. Trust us. The little perks don’t stop there. For convenience, Spa Mio offers Moroccan Oil soap, shampoo and conditioner as well as a selection of styling tools like hairdryers, combs and lotions.

So the next time you’re off to your favorite spa (which we hope is ours) schedule a few extra minutes to take advantage of the amenities offered. We know they’ll have you saying “ahhh.”

Spring into Summer with Spa Mio

M Social Media Team — Tue, 15 May 2012 23:29:35 +0000

The weather is heating up and summer is just around the corner! With all the time you’ve spent (or will be spending) poolside, it’s important to prepare your skin for the warmer months. Our Forbes Travel Guide rated four-star spa and salon, Spa Mio is ready with the perfect products and treatments to get you polished for the pool and keep your skin hydrated at the same time!

When beginning a summer skin regime, treatments that feature body scrubs such as our Tropical Fruit Polish and Antioxidant Grape Polish & Wrap are ideal. Body scrubs exfoliate, increase circulation and help get rid of dead, dry skin. A facial is another great service to exfoliate and add moisture during the hot summer season. Spa Mio’s Hydrating Facial is the best option for the spring and summer months. Everyone’s face tends to be a bit drier this time of year and the Hydrating Facial does just the trick to rehydrate and moisturize. A little tip: Let your aesthetician know if you are planning on going to the pool after your treatment so they can add on sunscreen!

Spa Mio now carries MoroccanOil’s brand new body line. One of their signature products, the Intense Hydrating Treatment has a gel consistency with a pleasing honey-lavender scent. This highly concentrated serum (perfect for face or body) melts into a soothing oil as you massage it into your skin. It’s infused with antioxidant argan oil and naturally replenishing botanicals, ready to transform even the driest exterior. This moisturizer will help nourish and restore elasticity, leaving your skin softer and noticeably healthier. Because of its gel consistency, the product leaves a great shine. It’s perfect for giving you that subtle summer shimmer.

If you’re looking to get a kick start on that summer glow (without the harm of UV rays), Spa Mio is stocked with Jane Iredale’s award winning self-tanner Tantasia. A moisturizing, natural bronzer and self-tanner, Tantasia provides instant, healthy-looking color and builds a gradual, natural looking tan within three days of usage. Its fresh citrus fragrance and streak-free formula are ideal for use on the face and body. It also provides natural hydration for the skin. If you’re looking for a less permanent tan, Jane Iredale’s Moonglow bronzer can be used on the cheeks, eyes and lips, or used as an all-over bronzer to create a natural-looking radiance.

New Year, New Ways to Spa

M Social Media Team — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:57:23 +0000

A New Year brings new beauty trends and all new ways to pamper yourself. It's the perfect time to rejuvenate your body and your soul with the array of new spa trends coming your way for the New Year. Feeling a little stressed? The holiday season can leave us all a bit drained and incorporating one (or a few) of these new spa treatments will do just the trick. We caught up with our spa's manager Kate Wind to see what's new in the spa world for 2012.

The "hot" spa treatments this year will actually be cold! 2011 spa trends brought the heat and 2012 is cooling it down. This year's trends will include a focus on cold treatments veering away from hot treatments, which have been popular in previous years. Cold-themed treatments help reduce inflammation in joints and muscles as well as increase circulation throughout the entire body.

While many treatments will be cooling you down, this year special focus will be placed on your feet. You can never have enough TLC for your tootsies and foot-focused treatments will help to relieve the stress from the bottom up. Think of all the pain your feet feel after a full day in heels, it's their turn to get a little pampering.

It seems like everyone's short on time. Quick spa services are in and we've got just the fix for the time-crunched spa-goer. Spa Mio offers a list of "Tapas Services" featuring shorter versions of their most popular services. Think 25-minute manis, facials, waxings and more! It's the perfect choice for our conference guests or people on the go.

Now to concentrate on the soul; treatments featuring vibration and sound therapy will help engage your senses. The sound vibrations of the bowls help align the body and your energy. This technique is one of the oldest in the spa world, being based on a sound massage treatment in Indian medicine over 5,000 years ago.

Keep an eye out for new treatments at our spa. Spa Mio is working on incorporating some of these items in their future spa menu. For example, cold stones will be used on feet during massages and pedicures. Also, massage treatments may integrate Tibetan Bowls therapy during services.

Have you treated yourself to any services featuring these new spa trends? Let us know what you enjoyed best and what spa treatments you're looking forward to trying in the New Year!
