The Arctic Room at QUA Baths and Spa Should Cure All That Ails You
Bloody Marys be damned. It’s QUA Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace
Palace that has saved us from more than a few Sin City hangovers. You know when it hurts to move and you can’t bring yourself to face sunlight? Yep, QUA (Latin for “here”) is the cure those ails.
Here’s how we do it: Turn off that Blackberry and stash your stuff in a locker. Slip into the warm cocoon-like comfort of
QUA Baths & Spa’s high thread count robes and slippers.
Swing through the tea room and swig down a bottle of water. Extra credit if you can tackle two. Hydration is your friend.
Next, plant your booty in the single sex Roman Baths. There are baths in a variety of temperatures – Tepidarium, Caldarium and Frigidarium – so feel free to experiment to find the perfect temperature fit. We find that this stage of recovery, the sauna and steam rooms are a bit too dehydrating and the heat only makes us more nauseous. Don’t be afraid to sack out on the über-comfy loungers that surround the baths.
Take your now relaxed body to a treatment room for a toxin-releasing massage. (You gotta detox before you can retox, right?) If you can, book an appointment with Holly. The older European woman boasts "the loving touch of a mother," but kneads our stressed-out anatomy into bliss with the deft strokes of a dominatrix.
The final step of this – ahem – healing process also happens to be our favorite. Make your way to the Arctic Ice Room, where "snowflakes" gently fall from the faux star-studded sky. The scene: heated floor and benches, tiny fiber-optic lights, mint-infused air, a shaved-ice fountain, and more than 27,000 blue glass pebbles and mosaic tiles.
Splash your face with a handful of ice chips and we swear you’ll snap out of your hangover stat. The age-old European bathing tradition used snow to cleanse the body, and we’re pretty sure it jumpstarts our circulatory systems and restores our overindulgent soul. So we can go paint the town red all over again.
