Sin City’s sustainable wonder, CityCenter, is unveiling its the intimate Vdara Health & Beauty -a “sensuous spa sanctuary” focused on holistic health and well being – on December 1, 2009.

The 18,000-square-foot, two-level spa, salon and fitness center is committed to “sustainable luxury”. Selected by Green Spa Network to be network’s very first Las Vegas member, Vdara Health & Beauty carefully selects retail partners that share its concern for the environment; utilizing organic or wild-crafted, paraben-free products, implementing a recycling program and use of recycled paper for spa materials, and aproviding natural nail services using a vegan treatment line.

Vdara is an all-suite hotel and spa designed within the new Las Vegas CityCenter that caters to those who love the excitement of Las Vegas but prefer to enjoy it in an exclusive, non-gaming and smoke-free environment.

Solidifying CityCenter’s commitment to sustainability, Vdara has achieved LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Physically connected to Bellagio and adjacent to ARIA Resort & Casino, Vdara will offer access to all of the entertainment, gaming, shopping, dining and nightlife at CityCenter and throughout Las Vegas, while also providing a retreat from it all.

Soothing calm amidst the bustle of Vegas

Located on the second level of the CityCenter’s new Vdara, guests are welcomed by a two-story waterfall comprised of shimmering strings of beads that glisten as water cascades down them into the reflective pool below. Sapele wood floors with mink marble and river-stone floor accents will create a sleek and modern look throughout the space.

Each level of the spa will express a distinct atmosphere laced with luxury. The first level will be a light, social space where patrons can mingle in the main reception lobby, enter the fitness center and salon, browse the spa boutique or enjoy a glass of bubbly at the Champagne Bar. The wellness spa on the second level will inspire a calm and soothing energy.

Even the lobby itself will feature a champagne bar that will include a thoughtful selection of champagne and wine for guests to enjoy while relaxing in the lobby or experiencing a manicure, pedicure or hair service in the salon.

Finding wellness

Eleven private treatment rooms, retreats, and serene lounges featuring inviting soaking tubs and dramatic circular waterfalls allow guests to immerse themselves in complete relaxation while enjoying a selection of herbal teas and apothecary-infused water, redwood saunas and eucalyptus steam rooms.

Spa treatments, comprised of a variety of massages, body treatments and skin care services, focus on holistic health by incorporating high-grade and organic ingredients derived from fruits, herbs, flowers, vegetables and oils.

The salon at Vdara Health & Beauty will boast a full menu of services for men and women including nail care by “SpaRitual.” Known for creating eco-friendly products, SpaRitual has developed a collection of sophisticated nail products that are DBP, formaldehyde and toluene-free, as well as  the first spa treatment line of vegan nail care products.

For those looking for a more active way to let off some steam, a variety of cardio equipment with individual entertainment centers, exercise machines and free weights will be available in the spa’s fitness center. Fitness classes will include strength training and yoga, with personal trainers and yoga instructors available for individual or group instruction. A registered dietician also will be available for nutritional consultation.

On the upper level of the spa, guests will be able to enjoy spa and salon treatments poolside at Sky Pool & Lounge – boasting six spa cabanas with interior seating, outdoor chaise lounges and private plunge pools. Poolside spa treatments will feature Akhassa, a line inspired by spa rituals from Thailand with properties of lemongrass, Kaffir lime, jasmine and hibiscus flower.
