| “How Can I Change Your Life Today?” By Sandy Zimmerman Upon entering the Eleven Spa Vegas, the staff does not waste any time, they immediately ask “How can I change your life today?” Just think of how delightful that sounds, images of pampering suddenly come to your mind. Put yourself in their hands. As Nicole Oden, the owner, said, “It is about doing what makes you feel happy.” Forget about everything, relax and indulge yourself in this luxurious setting. Time seems to stand still. The spa is making a commitment to fulfill your wishes, and what could put you in a better mood. One fact is evident; the Eleven Spa Vegas will be an unforgettable experience much more than having just a treatment or massage. The “ultra” look of the lounge attracts your attention. Strings of crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling to the base of the fountains. They seem to sparkle as the lights change colors. The Lounge transforms into a beautiful room for events and parties. All of the mirrors on the cosmetic counters suddenly disappear with the press of a button leaving space to place your food and drinks. The theme of the spa is 1940’s Hollywood classic movies which play on several television sets and projected on the lounge’s wall. With all of the delights on the Spa Menu, I had never heard of the Cat Nap Treatment and felt it would be different. Kim, the therapist explained, “We simulate a cat, the way it acts when sitting on your lap or walking across your legs and arms. Some of the movements are like kneading. First the client’s body is brushed to help with the lymphatic flow, if they are stagnated in any areas and to get the blood moving. The circular motions of brushing alone are invigorating and exfoliate the skin. Next these cat- style massages use the same natural cat’s movements as well as focal trigger points but each therapist has their own interpretation. Many spas do not use a brush but Eleven Spa feels it has so many benefits to help their clients. Brushes provide a different feeling, a different texture on the body. This treatment is also used for hangover relief and relieving tension in the neck, shoulders, and back. But even if you are not suffering from a hangover, it is more than just a traditional massage; Cat Nap is 90 wonderful minutes of soothing, relaxing body treatment and massage. Eleven Spa’s philosophy, “A little heaven on earth goes a long way,” has a lot of little ways to please their clients. Stay a few hours, an afternoon, or an entire day enjoying everything Eleven Spa Vegas has for you! When clients are waiting for their services or relaxing between services, they can enjoy a complimentary hand massage by the manicurist or complimentary neck and shoulder massage by massage therapists, whoever is available at the time. Clients are invited for a complimentary hand lotion treatment at the three lotion sinks by trained consultants. And there is more! Clients receive a complimentary make- up session. Homa, one of the make- up consultants, not only creates that special “look” for you, she also has worked on Michael Douglas and other celebrities as well as with SFX for films, television, billboards, and magazines. Some of her techniques involve creating bruises, wounds, bullet holes, burns and other crime scene effects. Another Eleven Spa Vegas innovation, their Pedicures are unique! Since the mobile Thailand Ritual Bowls do not use any plumbing, technicians can bring them to the client anywhere in the entire building. The glass wok bowls are |
| sanitary and heated with hot stones on the bottom. Designed for their celebrity clients or the person who wants to feel like a VIP, there is exclusivity that you usually do not find in other spas. If you want privacy, the VIP Celebrity Suite is the place to relax, receive any of the salon or spa treatments and massages while you are away from everybody. Eleven Spa Vegas is your own hideaway! The room is equipped with a long couch, bathroom, shower, television, refrigerator, shampooing chair, your own personal concierge, and separate access outside. Eleven Spa Vegas recommends clients arrive a half-hour early to customize their spa experience and allow time to relax, enjoy refreshments, or step into the steam room before the treatment begins. When you have finished your time of pampering, the staff says, “I hope I have changed your life today.” With so many unique treatments, so many exciting massages and Ken Paves’ Salon services, you will have a difficulty choosing from the varied menu. Open: Tuesday-Thursday, 10 am to 8 pm; Friday-Saturday, 9 am to 9 pm; Sunday, 10 am-6 pm; Monday, seasonally; Call 967-1100.
