My visit at the G Spa at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino felt like a luxury trip. I have visited other spas before but right now this one has made number one on my list. Walking into the the MGM Grand I was greeted and welcomed very kindly.Since I have never been to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino I did not know where the spa was located.The front door gentleman was so kind he pointed me in the direction I needed to go. I was in awe of how beautiful everything was as I walked toward the spa, having a few shops and cafes along the way to look at.
The G Spa is owned by Gretta Monahan, Gretta is a beauty and fashion stylist who first started as a hair dresser. Since she had broaden her horizons she has appeared on Rachel's Ray cooking/talk show a few time in the past few years.

When I finally reached the third floor of the Hotel where the Spa was located I was welcomed not only by the heartwarming staff but a beautiful fragrance of citrus orange and ginger. I had the pleasure of getting treated from my mom where we made appointments to get our nails done. In the mean time they walked us into the Ladies Facility's. We were given lockers where we could put our things and have them locked up safely for the day. I loved the lockers at this spa because they were huge and so roomy compared to other Spas. The Ladies Facility staff gave us robes and slippers that were warm and soft. My mother and I quickly changed into our robs and instantly we were relaxed. The staff asked us if we have been to the spa before... we replied "no" where she then gave us a tour of the facility.

The women showed us the different parts of the Spa. The Spa is split up into five sections... the workout room, the salon, the pool/bathing area, the Ladies Facility, and finally the Mens Facility. The work out room was roomy and has the most updated work out equipment. The work out room contained about forty weightlifting machine, seven treadmills,two bikes, and three elliptical machines. On the side they had complimentary waters and towels for the guests of the spa. Next we were shown the salon where they had few manicure tabled, two pedicure chairs, and the hair salon chairs on the side. The women then brought us into the the pool/bathing room where a breathe taking view of the New England's foliage was over looked through the windows of the horizon . I loved the lounge chairs in the pool area the cushions were so comfortable. Then we ended our tour back in the ladies facility where she had shown us where the changing rooms, bathrooms, relaxation center, and jacuzzi/steam room/sauna was.

After the tour my mother and I went to the jacuzzi area where the G Spa has a Hydrotherapy treatment called "East meets West. The treatment was so inspirational of shocking your inner Chakra to release negative energy and gaining your positive energy back by using water. The treatment had four steps waterfall whirlpool where it loosens and releases, steam room where the body detoxifies, raindrop shower where everything is washed off, then the sauna where you relax and unwind.
The first step was the Waterfall Whirlpool where you shocked your Chakra with the energy path of the water fall. You first stand under the waterfall have the energy path of the waterfall move along down your spine. Creating this channel along your spine you wake up your Chakra. It starts creating your energy flow to move in one single channel. You then sit in the whirlpool to get stirred up, the jets along you body disturb the negative energy making it want to be releases.

The second step is the steam room where the negative energy and
toxins are releases out of your body. Before entering the steam room you grab an iced towel and spray eucalyptus on the towel and place it over your head. Walking into the steam room and relaxing will release the negative energy and toxin in your body. And the yin and yang of the warmness of your body and coolness of your head makes the positive energy start to grow while the negative energy and toxins leave. I personally closed my eyes and meditated a little just sitting in my inner being and keeping myself relaxed.
At this stage when you feel you are relaxed and replenished with positive energy you then go to the third step of a Raindrop shower. The raindrop shower is to wash away all the negative energy and toxins off your body having the positive energy grow even more. Now the surprising part is that the raindrop shower is not warm its more on the cooler side to wake everything up giving you energy and washing off sluggish negative toxins lingering.

Then finally is the last step of the Sauna where positive energy reacts fully in your body creating a channel throughout your Chakra having you relaxed and refreshed. The dry heat goes deep into muscles and joints preparing them for the new channel of energy that will run through them for now on instead of the negative energy and toxins before.
After doing the Hydrotherapy treatment my mom and I went to the relaxation center where we had some spicy an sweet trail mix and I had the most juiciest pair. In the relaxation center we waited for the staff to come get us to get our nails done.Once they got us they walked us back to the salon my mom got her hands done while i got my toes done. I choose a berry red color with an accent of gold shimmer in it, the color looked absolutely beautiful on my toes.
Once our nails were dried we then sat at the pool/bathing area where we ordered salads and had water with lemon. I had a apple harvest salad. In the salad it had classic spring greens and baby spinach, granny smith apples, feta cheese, beats, tomatoes, carrots, walnuts, and dries cranberries. For the dressing it was a honey ginger dressing, it was bursting with flavor with every bite.
Once we were done eating we did another round of the hydrotherapy treatment and swam a little in the pool. We then took showers where we had our hair smelling like key lime pie with there complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The shower was even amazing because the towels were warm in a towel warmer and the shower had six shower heads. In the end it was a great luxury trip that I absolutely loved.

I was so amazed by the hotel I managed to take a few picture of the beautiful lighting in the lobby. I will definitely say I will personally go back and visit again.
How much did it all cost? I want to go with my mom on Mother's Day and I want to do something similar to what you did. Was it expensive?
