We're not sure where we are staying yet, probably somewhere mid-price, such as Paris. I was thinking of getting a spa package for myself, since I'm not a big gambler. Something to do while my husband is playing cards. What would an average rate be? I suppose the spas would routinely have indoor pools, whirlpools, saunas?

Most hotels list the spa "menus" on their websites. Rates will vary. Canyon Ranch at Venetian has a customizable four-service package which includes lunch, use of fitness equipment, classes, etc. You choose your four "treatments" from the following:
50-minute massage or energy therapy, your choice
· Personal Training Session
· Nutrition Consultation
· SpaClub Exercise Prescription
· 50-minute Rock-Wall Climbing
· Body Thermal
· European Facial
· Makeup Creation & Lesson
· Canyon Ranch Spa Manicure & Pedicure
· Endless Energy Pedicure
· Hydromassage
· Choice of Conditioning Body Scrub
• Cocoon
• 50-minute Aromatherapy

Package price? $490, Tues-Thurs, $520, Fri-Mon. Yes, you read that right.

And by the way --

That price does NOT include a hotel room. It's treatments ONLY.

We stay at the Bellagio and I like their massage and facials. I try to go the first day there, unwind and relax, then off to the Casino!

Spa Packages suck. Big ol' sausage.

I always head to the spa's when I am in Vegas (or anywhere else for that matter!) You can see prices and menus for the Canyon Ranch Spa at the Venetian here:
