BEAUTY The whirlpool at The Spa at Wynn is a fantastic idea post-party. T he night is over and the damage is done. In a city celebrated for excess, it doesn't always feel like so much fun in the morning—until you recharge at Wynn's sleek and soothing five-star spa oasis. Situated just one floor level above the casino floor, the spa is a divine respite, cloaked in warm, rich chocolate and cream tones with fine art displays. This is where the spa staff work their magic. "Overindulging dehydrates you," says Ella Stimpson, executive director of spa and salon operations for Wynn and Encore. "And we're already in the desert in the winter, so you're going to have skin that feels like an alligator." To replenish skin's moisture, she recommends Tropical Journey, a nourishing treatment replete with steamed coconut compresses, which are 44 pressed onto skin. Warm coconut and ginger body oil is then drizzled onto the back and massaged into skin for deep penetration. "Massages will speed up your circulation and free up those toxins in your blood from the night before, but we don't get them out," says Stimpson. "Only water will do that. Drinking water and a massage are good remedies." To go the extra mile for skin rejuvenation, a nutrient-rich facial like the Signature Peel works wonders on parched, tired skin. "I always recommend a post-party facial, especially if you've worn a lot of makeup," Stinson says. "This particular facial has a high vitamin count, so after we cleanse the face, we lather on serums filled with vitamins to reveal beautiful, younger skin." Thanks to the luxurious and invigorating spa treatments at Wynn, you'll be ready in no time to do it all over again. n PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF GREEN (SPA); REBECCA SAHN (BODY BUTTER) SPA RX:atRecover from Vegas-inspired Wynn. overindulgence the newly revamped Spa at Spa care at home: Encore Spa exclusive Tasha & Co.
