    Las-Vegas-1.3-ServicesAmenities-Header

    SPA SERVICES. For guests of Trump International Hotel™ Las Vegas, rejuvenation is never far away. Whether in search of an extended getaway or a day spa experience, The Spa at Trump® is a serene sanctuary featuring luxurious treatment rooms with services for women, men, and couples. Pamper yourself with a relaxing full-body massage, clarifying or detoxing facial, warm herbal wrap or one of the many other ways to recover from the excitement of Las Vegas.

    Since I am relatively new to Las Vegas, I have no idea what kind of amazing services are in store at the Trump! The Day Spa has body treatment, massage and the works! Once you enter the luxurious spa on the pool deck floor, you are greeted by lovely service staff that make you feel welcomed and relaxed immediately.  If you want luxury, Trump knows best.

    Las-Vegas-4.3-SpecialOffers-HeaderI was able to check out the the “Spa Flight” package which is perfect for beginners. You can select ‘mini-services’ a la carte and see if you truly like it first.  The massage and body scrub were my top choice and it was heavenly. The locker and dressing room has automatic locking lockers that were equipped with sandals, towels and a robe. In the dressing room, there are combs, brushes, hairspray, hair dryer, lotion and cotton swabs. The best part is the HUGE mirror with lights all around it. You can really see your complexion and relaxed face (or how stressed you are!) clearly.

    The Spa Flight includes the following choices:

    Choose your own combination of the following 30 minute services customizing your own ritual experience:

    • Carboxi Express Facial
    • Foot Reflexology
    • Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage
    • Custom Body Scrub
    • Relaxing Head & Scalp Massage
    • Custom Bath Experience

    Once you are ready, you are escorted into the relaxation room where fresh lemon water, iced tea and hot tea are available. There are also some fruits and magazines as well. The overstuffed armchairs and lounge chairs also include a cozy blanket for you to doze off and really relax. Some spa users opt for the day pass, and they come in and out all day long.  My masseuse was professional, friendly and amazing! He was very mindful with his strength in helping me alleviate tense muscles I didn’t even know I had. Particular stiff are my lower back and right shoulder.  When my massage was complete, I also had a body scrub (which was different than the Korean style scrub I had in Tribeca) it was more gentle and relaxing. Once everything was done, I went into the eucalyptus steam sauna and shower. What a great way to start the week!

    Stiffness and tight muscles can be caused by so many reasons like a heavy purse, backpack, sitting at a desk for long periods of time and even walking your dog, favoring one side or if he pulls. The tight muscles actually block your chi and locks so many of your chakras. It can make you feel down and you don’t even know why. Immediately after my massage, I felt so much happier and relaxed.

    Last month I finally ventured to the Palms Casino to check out Chronic Tacos. There is such a huge variety of Mexican style places to eat on the West Coast it is really hard to resist trying one that has so much social media buzz already.

    Last week I finally ventured to the Palms Casino to check out Chronic Tacos. There is such a huge variety of Mexican style places to eat on the West Coast it is really hard to resist trying one that has so much social media buzz already.  Chronic Tacos is a California inspired Mexican grill restaurant. They have a lot of customization options with real authentic flavors.

    The secret to the yummy tacos is family recipes. The recipes go back 3 generations to Central Mexican town of Fresnillo. Great Grandma Bonilla made all these recipes from scratch.  Now you have a chance to check out why her recipes became so legendary right here in Las Vegas.

    I was so lucky to meet with the Vegas  location owners, Jonathan and Jennifer. They grew up in the food business and their family owned many McDonald’s, so naturally they know so much about what makes a restaurant successful!  With everything they know and understand, they chose Chronic Tacos for their own franchise business. They understand that Millenials want to know what they are eating, where it comes from and just the way they want it.

    A new Summerlin location of Chronic Tacos will be coming soon but in the mean time, visit their location at the Palms!

    Jetsetter’s Must Have: Instant Energy Boost with The I.V. Doc

    I recently relocated to Las Vegas and was so excited to check out this media meet and greet at the MGM Skyloft for the I.V. Doc.  What is The I.V. Doc? The premium on-call I.V. hydration therapies which provide recovery from hangover, flu, jet lag, fatigue and food poisoning!  Similar to a concierge doctor, the I.V. Doc comes to where you are, your home, hotel or resort!

    The I.V. Doc has recently expanded to offer services in Las Vegas and I got to meet with the team. Las Vegas is now the I.V Doc’s fifth market having seen past popularity in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco since launching in 2014.

    During the media preview of the service in Las Vegas at the Sky Lofts, I got the chance to sample the service. It was definitely much needed after our move from New York and full week of unpacking.  The I.V. was easy to put in and the B12 boost was amazing.

    Dr. Adam Nadelson Founder and CEO of The I.V. Doc onsite to discuss the service and this new trend of mobile wellness. Using screened health care professionals, The I.V. Doc™ provides clients with a discrete luxury service of energizing, 30-minute I.V. hydration therapies in the comfort of their home, hotel, or private office. Treatments include Cleanse, Detox, Refresh and Revive, which allow clients to choose unique, individual vitamin combinations for specific health symptoms – not just hangovers.

    The professional and registered nurses took great care in checking my blood pressure and asking relevant medical questions before administrating the I.V.  The entire procedure took less than 30 mins and really gave me a huge boost of energy.

    “Most people across the globe see Vegas as a destination for a crazy weekend getaway but there is a huge group of individuals who work and live in this environment every day,” explains founder Dr. Adam Nadelson. “There is much more to this city than a bachelor party-induced hangover and we are pleased to be able to serve the community with a range of customized wellness treatments.”

    Widely known in the medical field, the oral intake of fluids and vitamins has an absorption rate of 50%-60% at most, while I.V. hydration is 100% absorbed. I.V. hydration offers the fastest way to replenish needed fluids and electrolytes. The therapies proven in hospital emergency rooms are now made more easily accessible by The I.V. Doc™, by fully accredited, licensed and experienced physicians and medical professionals – and at a lower cost!

    Scheduling is easy via phone or online, where clients can select from an assortment of hydration services. The I.V. Doc™ will also offer a selection of supplemental vitamins (available to order after the selected I.V. hydration treatment,) as well as Super Vitamin B Complex shots for quick, natural energy.

    Next time you need a boost, be sure to follow and request The I.V. Doc.

    The (f)Unemployed Casualite

    We are at the age of the causalite.  The hybrid of casual x elite is a phenomenon in itself, with inspiration from Hollywood to cities around the world. They are easy to spot, with seemingly casual apparel with a heavy price tag attached.  Sweatpants over $170, lambskin shoe laces around $60, T-shirts for over $100 and exclusive sneakers are all part of deal.  They are everywhere and you have seen from from New York to Vegas to Toronto.

    Image via John Elliott

    They are freelancers, they have their own business, they are celebrities on Instagram and boast of 100K + followers. they are not exactly unemployed but they are between project and contracts. They always have a budding idea and these casualites must be “unemployed”. That means that job have to be fun and in line with their ‘passion’.  Programed to be anti corporation and absolute individualists, there are too many people around “making it happen” to not buy into the hype.

    But with a room full of wheels and no one who wants to be a spoke, how does this move forward?

    Will the future look like 50 year old employees with 24 year old CEOs?
