We checked into the amazing Spa at JW Marriott in North Las Vegas this morning. Very attentive and nice people took care of us. Nicki headed off to her “Sampler” massage – a variety of treatments and aromatherapy that left her feeling good. In the meantime I headed to the outdoor hydrotherapy pools and jacuzzi. There were multiple stations in the pool with various levels of jetted, roiling water. One was strong like a firehose, nearly pulling my swimsuit off! While they may be optional, I opt to keep mine on! Others focused on different areas – legs, back, or shoulders– and one was pouring overhead with great force. Made my scalp all tingly! It was all so good.
There was a float pool as well as a hot-cold jacuzzi- get in the hot one then move to the cold one, and back again. There was a sauna and a steam room. That was great for relaxation. And there was a waterfall shower that was AMAZING. It poured down with such force I think it may have released the boulders in my shoulders!
It was then time for my treatment – a holistic massage. I was covered in eucalyptus and spearmint oils then scrubbed with salt. It felt and smelled so good! Then I was sent to the shower and returned for an all over rub down with lavender and Epsom salts in little bags. Then a deep massage into my gnarly muscles. Oh my goodness it was so good! 80 blissful minutes of health and healing!
In the meantime Nicki was steaming and using the jacuzzi and we met up for a round in hydrotherapy again. And more steam room. And citrus water and tea, oranges and lots of water. We decided to spend the day there so we ordered lunch from the hotel and they brought us soup, salad and sandwiches to the spa. We laid outside in the cool but sunny deck and fell asleep, got a little sunburned even! The palm trees and ponderosa pines made a beautiful backdrop.
We showered and used blow dryers and all kinds of lotions and shampoos and even mouthwash. They thought of everything and we enjoyed several hours of relaxation, rest, and renewal.
We left and went out for coffee in a mall in Summerlin. We shopped and walked around Living Spaces where Nicki works. So much to see there!
We came back to the apartment to rest up before dinner. I got a call from Whatcom Art Market that two of my creations sold! That was exciting!
We decided to Uber to the strip for dinner. Such a nice guy drove us. We got out at the Venetian walked into Palazzo. We had one of the best dinners ever at The Lux Cafe. Beef Wellington melts in your mouth! And our waiter was a Brazilian man, so that made Nicki happy! He was a good waiter too! Definitely going to eat there again!
We wandered through the shops and found a stunning Art Gallery at the Venetian Hotel. Some of the most truly beautiful photography in the world. Wis I could post it here but no cameras allowed. Here are a few of mine, though! . 
Going to bed with a full tummy, happy spirits and rejuvenated bodies! We are so blessed. Thank you Lord.
