Vdara Hotel & Spa at CityCenter introduces Vdara Health & Beauty, a sensuous spa sanctuary that spotlights holistic health and well-being in an intimate environment. Opening December 1, Vdara Health & Beauty will be an 18,000-square-foot, two-level spa, salon and fitness center celebrating the calming power of water. The spa will present a thoughtfully orchestrated journey, personalized to maximize each guest's experience.

Committed to sustainable luxury, Vdara Health & Beauty will be the first Las Vegas spa in the Green Spa Network and has carefully chosen retail partners that share its concern for the environment. The spa also will be committed to using organic or wild-crafted, paraben-free products; the implementation of a recycling program and use of recycled paper for spa materials; and will provide natural nail services using a vegan treatment line.

  SPA ELEMENTS

  Design
  --  Spa guests will have easy access to Vdara Health & Beauty; the
      elevator will open directly into the spa reception area on the second
      level of the hotel. As guests enter, they will be 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.


  Wellness Spa
  --  Vdara Health & Beauty's wellness spa will feature 11 private treatment
      rooms, men's and women's retreats, and serene lounges. As guests relax
      in their respective retreats, they will unwind with a selection of
      herbal teas and apothecary-infused water, and enjoy redwood saunas and
      eucalyptus steam rooms. Intimate lounges will feature inviting soaking
      tubs and dramatic circular waterfalls that spill over into the pools
      of water.

  --  The Relaxation Lounge and Meditation Lounge each will provide quiet
      getaways where guests can unwind amongst soothing water features and
      lighting. In the Meditation Lounge, a metallic mosaic sheathed in
      iridescent blue and gold tones will illuminate a curtain of water that
      flows behind a candlelit ledge.



  Spa Treatments
  --  Treatments will be both classic and creative with a focus on holistic
      health and will incorporate high-grade and organic ingredients derived
      from fruits, herbs, flowers, vegetables and oils. The spa menu will be
      comprised of a variety of massages, body treatments and skin care
      services.
  --  Vdara Health & Beauty is the first resort spa in Las Vegas to launch
      Dr. Obagi's new line, ZO Skin Health, for facial services and home
      care.  The philosophy of this line is to create change at the cellular
      level, to re-energize aging skin and constantly stimulate cellular
      function by saturating skin with stabilized retinol, advanced peptides
      and powerful antioxidants.
  --  Also featured at Vdara Health & Beauty, Naturopathica Holistic
      Health's signature products will inspire healthy lifestyles through
      innovative natural products. The products contain no petroleum-based
      ingredients, artificial dyes or fragrances and are fortified with the
      highest-quality therapeutic essential oils and herbs.

  --  Other spa treatment lines will include Akhassa, Chocolate Sun, Red
      Flower and Peter Thomas Roth.


  Salon Services
  --  The salon at Vdara Health & Beauty will boast a full menu of services
      for men and women including professional hair design, spa manicures
      and pedicures, and makeup artistry. Professional hair care products
      from Morrocanoil and Kerastase will offer a variety of options for
      conditioning treatments and styling.
  --  Aveda also will be included as one of the lush options for hair
      treatment. Aveda was founded with the goal of providing beauty
      industry professionals with high-performance, botanically based
      products that are better for guests, and the planet. Aveda is one of
      the largest purchasers of organic ingredients in the personal care
      industry.
  --  SpaRitual, known for creating eco-friendly products, will be Vdara
      Health & Beauty's nail care line. SpaRitual has developed a collection
      of sophisticated nail elixirs to nourish cuticles, build strong nails
      and establish a flawless environment for color. SpaRitual also is the
      first to offer DBP, formaldehyde and toluene-free nail elixirs in the
      professional nail care industry and the first spa treatment line of
      vegan nail care products.

  --  Makeup artistry will incorporate BeingTRUE cosmetics, truly modern
      makeup that features ideal color palettes for every skin tone and
      promises all-day flawlessness. Surpassing the long-acknowledged
      benefits of traditional mineral makeup, BeingTRUE offers additional
      aging defense with super antioxidant Idebenone.


  Fitness Center

  --  A variety of cardio equipment with individual entertainment centers,
      exercise machines and free weights will be available in the 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.

  Champagne Bar

  --  Located in the lobby of Vdara Health & Beauty, the Champagne Bar 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.


  Spa Boutique

  --  The spa boutique will carry a discerning selection of products that
      support the spa lifestyle including wellness books, bath and body
      products, skin care, cosmetics, hair care, sun care and apparel. To
      complement the spa treatment menu, products from Akhassa, Aveda,
      BeingTRUE, Chocolate Sun, Moroccanoil, Naturopathica, SpaRitual,
      Kerastase, Peter Thomas Roth, Red Flower and ZO Skin Health also will
      be available for purchase.


  Spa Cabanas at Sky Pool & Lounge

  --  Guests also will be able to enjoy spa and salon treatments poolside at
      Sky Pool & Lounge, located on Vdara's third level. Sky Pool & Lounge
      will boast 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. Spa cabana
      rentals are available seasonally.
