Thermal baths date back to prehistoric times, constructed near natural springs that eventually became destinations. Destinations eventually became resorts, places where visitors could “take the waters” with sojourns dedicated to rest and rehabilitation. By the time spa resorts began to appear in North America, the neoclassical era had set in and Rome was an inspiration for design and services, setting the stage for an evolution that would lead to destinations such as Qua Baths & Spa.
If not visiting a spa while in Las Vegas is an oversight, not visiting Qua Baths & Spa while a guest at Caesars Palace might leave a stay incomplete. Entering Qua Baths & Spa means leaving the world behind and encountering a complex of Roman baths, steam rooms, an arctic ice room, massages, facials and fitness center. There is time to enjoy all aspects of Qua Baths & Spa, with the only decision being where to start.
The Roman baths make that decision easy. Three pools of varying temperatures are available for plunging, with the jet-powered body-temperature pool being quite addictive. Heated stone lounge chairs are another amenity that may make it hard to leave the room, but there is more to experience. A cold blast of air is especially invigorating after a session in the sauna or newly renovated steam rooms, so don’t forget an excursion in the arctic ice room.
The body is now set for a massage. This season, Qua Baths & Spa is offering an Autumn Evening Massage that includes being rubbed down with a chai spice vanilla essential oil blend that provides nourishing hydration. It’s a temporary offering alongside year-round signature massages such as body-and-skincare specialty Hourglass, sage-and-sweet-grass Mojave Rain, three-option Nobu Zen and hot-and-cold therapeutic Leg Recovery Ritual.
Couples can choose from an exfoliating Couples Bliss Retreat and self-descriptive Himalayan Salt Stone. Custom massages, hot stone, sports massages, prenatal and CBD wellness options are available as well, as are eight facials. Whether aficionado or neophyte, Qua Baths & Spa is an evolutionary spa experience. Take the waters at the beginning or end of a Caesars stay, or both.
