Hydro-Lounge
Signature Spaces Thermal Circuit Overview
A complete European-style thermal circuit occupying the Level 1 spa amenity zone. Two-circuit model: wet thermal amenities on the south and dry thermal experiences to the north, with the Coed Post-Treatment Relaxation Lounge located on Level 1.5 Mezzanine.
Coed Post-Treatment Relaxation + Deep Sleep
Level 1.5 Mezzanine · Relaxation + Deep Rest
A 1,800 SF integrated sanctuary combining post-treatment relaxation with a dedicated deep sleep zone. Zero-gravity loungers, warm ambient lighting, and sound immersion on the relaxation side; darkened, acoustically isolated rest positions for deep rest. A seamless post-treatment recovery sequence.
Aufguss-Ready Finnish Sauna
Hydro-Lounge · Ritual Experience
A traditional Finnish sauna scaled for hotel use, with design and bench layout specifically configured for Aufguss ritual performance. Heat blending stones, aromatic ladle, and integrated drainage for ceremony execution.
Aroma Steam
Hydro-Lounge · Las Vegas First
Aroma Steam: a 400 SF aromatherapy steam sanctuary — the signature thermal experience of the Hydro-Lounge. Eucalyptus, mint, and seasonal botanical blends injected into the steam line. Chromotherapy LED ceiling, warm stone bench seating, and a double-door vestibule airlock. Alternative formats (Himalayan Salt Sauna, Bio Sauna, Japanese Charcoal / Sumi-buro, Banya) remain eligible exchanges — all Las Vegas casino firsts with no current competitor.
Snow Cabin + Ice Chute
Hydro-Lounge · Cold Contrast
A cold-contrast chamber delivering the Scandinavian sauna ritual at full intensity. Engineered snow falls continuously from ceiling vents; the adjacent Ice Chute provides a dramatic gravitational plunge alternative for the most committed thermal guests.
Experience Showers
Hydro-Lounge · Sensory Transition
Two distinct sensory shower programs serving as transitional reset points between thermal experiences. Each configures a unique combination of temperature, pressure, scent, and lighting to punctuate the thermal journey.
Vitality Pool
Hydro-Lounge · Aquatic Anchor
The principal hydrotherapy vessel of the Hydro-Lounge — a generously proportioned soaking pool maintained at therapeutic temperature with multi-zone jet configurations for targeted body treatments and passive warm-water recovery.
Rasul / Herbal Steam Suites
Hydro-Lounge · Las Vegas First
A private self-service Rasul chamber — the only one in Las Vegas. The suite features built-in steam, heated tile bench, and a selection of aromatic mud and clay formulas applied by guests for a private detox ritual. Adjacent showers for rinse-down. Bookable as a private or couples experience.
Heated Marble Relaxation Lounge
Hydro-Lounge · Passive Warmth
Warmed marble loungers set into the floor and walls — a passive radiant heat experience drawing from traditional hammam and Roman bath principles. No steam, no sound — pure thermal rest through conductive warmth. A counterpoint to the more theatrical thermal experiences.
Salt Mist Chamber / Halotherapy
Hydro-Lounge · Respiratory Wellness
A climate-controlled halotherapy chamber with pharmaceutical-grade halogenerator delivering micronized salt aerosol. Heated to 20–22°C, the space accommodates zero-gravity loungers and a low-light environment for passive respiration therapy.
Sparty / Spa Event Space
Hydro-Lounge · Private Group Buyout
A dedicated buyout-capable event space that becomes an extension of the thermal circuit for private groups. Bachelorette parties, corporate wellness experiences, and high-net-worth group bookings. Positioned left of the Hydro-Lounge with controllable access from main circuit.
Coed + Deep Sleep — Lounge Detail
Level 1.5 Mezzanine · Deep Rest Zone
The deep sleep zone is integrated within the 1,800 SF Coed Post-Treatment Relaxation + Deep Sleep space on the Mezzanine. Zero-gravity pods or flat-surface rest stations in near-complete darkness with acoustic isolation. Together with the relaxation zone, this creates a comprehensive post-treatment recovery sequence unique in the Las Vegas market.
Contrast Recovery Circuit
B1 Sub-Grade · Rebuilt to Hardline Plan
A self-contained cold-and-hot contrast circuit rebuilt from the ground up to match the May 2026 hardline plan. Anchored by the Cold Plunge Pool and Finnish Sauna, with Ice Bath Plinths, Warm Plunge, Deluge Showers, Heated Loungers, and Wet Lounge for a complete contrast therapy sequence.
