Las Vegas Luxury Retreats That Every High Roller Should Know

Suppose you're a Vegas regular or a local who loves the finer things in life. In that case, there's no doubt that you’ve already visited all the finest shopping establishments for some retail therapy, acclaimed bars and restaurants for a taste of global cocktails and cuisine, and the most lavish hotels in town to experience living like a king or queen. With Las Vegas being as busy a city as it is, you may not have found time for calm, rest, and relaxation. If you love all things luxury, checking out these retreats is a must to keep the balance in your life between active and restful.

MGM Grand Hotel and Spa

If a city stay is up your alley, but you are still looking for a calm atmosphere that promotes rejuvenation and relaxation, you’ll find it at the MGM Grand Hotel and Spa. Though it's located in the heart of bustling Las Vegas, once you enter the doors of this hotel, you’ll feel a sense of calm relief wash over you. This incredibly elegant casino resort offers plenty for those looking to take it easy, including a pool complex featuring comfortable cabanas and a lazy river perfect for a float that will make you forget your troubles.

Not only is the contemporary accommodation (from queen rooms to apartment-size suites, some of which are pet-friendly) so comfortable that you’ll find yourself struggling to leave, but staying at this hotel also puts you near one of the best Las Vegas spas. The spa and salon at the MGM Grand will treat you like true royalty, from body treatments to gel mani-pedis and a new haircut or color. If you find peace in movement, you’ll love the well-equipped fitness center, the perfect space to sweat away your worries one rep at a time.

The Retreat on Charleston Peak

Perched at a height of 6,700 feet in the stunning Kyle Canyon, The Retreat is a mere 45 minutes from the hustle of Vegas but a world away from the stresses of city life. Looking around you, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d gone back in time — the exquisite Spring Mountains National Forest is unchanged in its sprawling beauty. The lodge is carefully crafted of stone and wood, blending it with its natural surroundings. Indoors, however, luxury awaits the weary traveler. In queen and king rooms or the complete suites, depending on your needs, you’ll find a touch of the rustic charm seen outdoors brought inside to warm up your living and sleeping spaces. No matter which room you choose, fireplaces, plush bedding, and exquisite views await you.

At this rustic haven, you’ll be able to sample the literal and figurative fruits of the land: a relaxing visit watched over by mountain peaks, nights sipping delicious drinks and playing pool, days spent hiking in the surrounding forests. Though the weather in Vegas is considerably warmer than many other parts of the country, snow still falls in the mountains, making the Retreat on Charleston Peak an ideal getaway both in the summer and winter months for different pursuits that connect you with nature. Indulge in gourmet fare at the Canyon Restaurant, an on-site location with no dress code required. There is also a cafe that offers baked goods and coffee 24/7.

The Spa at Red Rock Resort and Casino by Well and Being

Opulence is the word of the day at the Red Rock, both in the hotel and the spa itself. This innovative retreat is crafted to be a fusion of wellness and comfort you can define for yourself. Being able to personalize your retreat and spa program gives you complete control over your experiences and how they come together to create the inner and outer well-being you’re looking for. The decor at Red Rock is bold but still creates a cocoon of comfort and luxury with its neutral tones met with ruby and scarlet.

The selection of dining, entertainment, and accommodation options at the Red Rock means that you’ll find something to suit you perfectly, no matter your preferences. Dine in your room while relaxing in a cabana next to the pool or in one of the legions of in-house (multicultural) restaurants. Depending on the size of your party or your preference for space, choose from rooms, suites, villas, and penthouses.

The palette of unique experiences you can paint with the Red Rock extends to nutrition and movement, not just spa experiences. A stay at this resort and spa will infuse you with the vitality needed to take on the world once more. From the Wall of Yoga to the exquisite outdoor pool, aromatherapy massages, and delicious, nourishing meals, therapeutic whirlpools, Swedish dry sauna experiences, cold plunge pools, and fitness classes, everything you need is within your grasp.
