Upon first glance, one may wonder what makes The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas worthy of Travel & Leisure magazine’s Top Hotel Spas list. Unlike many of the other spas located on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, its list of amenities is fairly simple: private men’s and women’s relaxation rooms, a eucalyptus steam room and a Zen lounge for relaxation. There’s no sauna, no cascading waterfall showers…not even a whirlpool to unwind in. But one step into any one of its 16 treatment rooms and you’ll quickly discover a spa experience unlike any other.

Offering an extensive range of Asian-inspired massage and skin-care treatments, guests can’t go wrong with any service booked at The Spa at Four Seasons. However, if you’re looking for a treatment to help you face the summer (pun intended), look no further than the Everlasting Flower Stone Facial.

One of four signature treatments at the spa, this unique hot and cold 80-minute stone facial ($235) incorporates basalt stones to harmonize the body and mind and rhodochrosite stones to warm the heart. It’s also perfect for those in Las Vegas during the hottest time of the year, as it helps add moisture to your dry skin. It begins with a gentle cleanser (Fleur’s Cotton Flower Cleansing Milk) to eliminate makeup and impurities followed by an application of Fleur’s Cotton Flower Toning Water to help moisturize the upper layers of the epidermis. Now that your skin feels fresh and toned, Fleur’s creamy Gentle Exfoliant is lightly massaged into it to help remove dead skin cells and restore skin to its natural softness. After a relaxing arm massage to help get you comfortable, extractions are performed (if necessary), followed by a poppy seed exfoliation with Fleur’s Viternel Youth Concentrate; yes, you read that right--another exfoliant! That’s how gentle these exfoliations are.

After the poppy seed exfoliant is applied to your face (a dab on your forehead, your cheekbones and your chin), it is then gently massaged into your skin with the aforementioned basalt and rhodochrosite stones, helping you drift away into a state of complete relaxation. Just before you begin to completely nod off, though, a dual mask is applied utilizing Fleur’s Viternel Mask with Hibiscus powder to help restore your complexion to a youthful glow while preventing age spots and further skin discoloration caused by damage from the sun (which you‘ll see plenty of in Las Vegas!). While the mask--the second layer being a thermo lifting mask--is given some time to penetrate your skin and work its magic, a brief neck and scalp massage is performed to further induce your slumber. Finally, once the mask and gauze are removed from your face (a Face/Off experience if ever there was one), your treatment concludes with an application of Fleur’s Viternel Day Restorative Defensive Treatment Cream and its Viternel Smoothing Eye Cream to help further hydrate your skin and prevent the aging process by smoothing features and stimulating microcirculation to reduce any dark circles and puffiness under your eyes. By the time the treatment is complete, not only will your skin feel soft, toned and completely rejuvenated, but you’ll feel revitalized, too, and ready to face whatever comes your way--right after a quick catnap.

Before you leave the spa, however, your aesthetician will fill out a personalized skin care recommendation card and go over it with you to let you know how you can treat any problem areas she/he saw during your treatment. You’ll even be informed of what products you may want to take home with you for long-lasting results. It’s just one example of the many ways the staff at The Spa at Four Seasons goes out of their way to take care of their guests.
