Wellness On The Strip: Your Rejuvenating Winter Getaway in Vegas

Wellness On The Strip: Your Rejuvenating Winter Getaway in Vegas 

By Esme Benjamin

When you picture Las Vegas, you probably think of late nights, strong drinks, live shows, and dazzling casinos. Sure, Vegas is undeniably one of the best places in the world to party, but behind all the indulgence is a hidden side of the city – one that puts an emphasis on health and wellness.

At MGM Resorts, a pioneering hospitality initiative is helping travelers level up their well-being. When you check into a Stay Well™ room, you enter an environment that’s been meticulously designed with the latest wellness technologies from Delos to rejuvenate you: air purifiers remove airborne allergens and pollutants; a healthy, certified-organic memory foam mattress and soundscape machine aid good sleep; a shower infuser removes chlorine from bathing water; and circadian-conscious lighting schemes, including a dawn-simulating alarm clock, work with the body’s natural rhythms to energize or relax you. Plus, each Stay Well room comes with guided meditation videos led by Deepak Chopra and award-winning wellness programs from the Cleveland Clinic.

If you’ve already had your fill of holiday season excess, a rejuvenating Stay Well break could be exactly what you need. Available to book at some of MGM Resorts’ most popular Las Vegas accommodations, including Bellagio Hotel & Casino, ARIA Resort & Casino, Park MGM Las Vegas, MGM Grand Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, and many more, Stay Well rooms are the perfect foundation for a pampering Vegas break. Complete your winter wellness kick with a visit to one of MGM Resorts’ spas for a muscle-melting massage or complexion-enhancing facial before relaxing by the pool, smoothie in hand.

A lucky snorkeler watching a MASSIVE fever of Mobula Rays glide past him during a trip with @bajarawtours. The Mobula migration is in full effect right now in Baja. Every year from April to June, you can witness huge congregations of these animals along the shores of the peninsula. It's truly an incredible thing to see. Reel: @wandering.westerner

As the only Hindu region of the predominantly Islamic Indonesian archipelago, Bali is an island rich with festivals and spiritual rituals – many of which visitors are welcome to respectfully participate in. After rinsing yourself under the holy spring water which cascades through a series of waterspouts, you will emerge feeling cleansed in body and soul. Reel: @lksjohan_ljc

Welcome to Season 4 of The Trip That Changed Me! Our first guest of the new season is @lauriewoolever, writer, editor, public speaker, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute (now the International Culinary Center) in New York, and former assistant to @anthonybourdain, with whom she co-wrote several books. In this episode, Laurie shares memories from Sri Lanka, where she joined Bourdain (or “Tony,” as she affectionately calls him) on a shoot for the TV show “Parts Unknown.” For Laurie, this trip was part business and part pleasure; an opportunity to explore the lush island nation with her friend and mentor while working on a story about Sri Lankan home cooking, but it was especially significant because she was newly sober. Navigating triggers and travel rituals that involved alcohol was challenging, but the experience shifted Laurie’s perspective. To her surprise, the world was bigger and better without the booze. 🎧 Link in bio to listen to an interview full of wonderful, personal anecdotes about Anthony Bourdain the traveler, plus loads of insider tips that food-obsessives will appreciate.

Known for its colorful houses built on steep cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, Positano is a small town located on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. Some people might consider it overrated because of its popularity and high prices. However, others might argue that its beauty and charm are worth the cost and crowds. Tell us, what do you think about Positano as a summer destination? Reel: @rflcpl
