Las Vegas Review - Valentine's Day Weekend

While Las Vegas is always among top destinations for a Valentine's Day weekend, the destination offers vast and varied options for a romantic retreat year-round.

Why not treat your loved one to an unforgettable spa experience? Las Vegas is home to a cache of award-winning and celebrated spas such as The Spa (Four Seasons), Canyon Ranch SpaClub (The Venetian), the Aquae Sulis (JW Marriott), BATHHOUSE (THEhotel at Mandalay Bay) and the Ritz-Carlton Spa. More luxurious and well-appointed facilities include Spa Bellagio, Spa by Mandara (Paris Las Vegas), MGM Grand Spa and Qua Bath & Spa at Caesars Palace.

Most spas offer couples treatments and specialty products that incorporate indulgences such as caviar, chocolate, champagne or seasonal ingredients such as cranberries and pumpkin. Spa services include sport, Shiatsu and Swedish massages to soothe tired muscles and smooth away kinks; body treatments including herbal baths, wraps, aromatherapy and reflexology; relaxing amenities such as steam rooms, saunas and whirlpools; and full-service salons offering manicures, pedicures, facials and hair styling.

A couple's getaway wouldn't be complete without an intimate dinner with an amazing view. Now hailed as one of the country's culinary capital cities, Las Vegas is home to an amazing collection of celebrity chef and fine dining restaurants.

Whether at sunset or nighttime, the view of Las Vegas is a picturesque backdrop for a dinner for two. The Stratosphere's Top of the World Restaurant features a 360-degree perspective of the Las Vegas Valley, while the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas hovers amid the bright lights of the Strip. Mandalay Bay's Mix and Alizé at The Palms offer sweeping views of the famed boulevard from their own unique vantage points. Meanwhile, in Downtown Las Vegas the new Gold Diggers at the Golden Nugget overlooks the state-of-the-art Fremont Street Experience, setting the scene for an unrivaled vintage Vegas atmosphere.

After a quiet dinner, turn up the volume with Vegas' unrivaled nightlife. From elaborately themed clubs to the new wave of upscale "ultra lounges" sweeping the Strip, choose from a wide range of options including Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce (Mandalay Bay), PURE (Caesars Palace), Blush (Wynn Las Vegas), Jet (The Mirage), Tao (The Venetian) and Cherry (Red Rock Resort Casino and Spa).

Here are just a few of the specials that are available today:


Venetian Resort Hotel Casino
The Venice-inspired Venetian is the world's largest Five Diamond Resort, with the new 69,000 square foot Canyon Ranch Spa, which sits conveniently between the Venetian and the New Palazzo Tower. And I wish that there were Canyon Ranch Cafes in every hotel, for tasty, and healthy cuisine. It is a nice break from the other fine dining that the Venetian / Palazzo Megacenter offers. There are so many great restaurants to choose from! If you're looking for really unique dining head to David Burke. It's fun, unique Modern American Cuisine. There are so many fine restaurants to choose from including a great lunch spot, The Noodle Asia, which offers great choices of large portions, whether you want noodles, soup or event duck, it has never disappointed us.

Palms Place Hotel and Spa
One of our favorite restaurants in Las Vegas resides at Palms Place, Nove Italiano. We have been there quite a few times and each time was as good as the last. If you are curious to see the Playboy Club, diners are allowed up the back way. It's worth a look, as the view is a great shot of the strip. The Palms is owned by the Maloof brothers so it caters to the young, hip beautiful people of Las Vegas. The Palms Spa rates are much lower than some of the others in Las Vegas and offers a wide range of spa services. It’s not really walking distance to the strip, so be prepared to pay for a cab or a good hike to get there.

Spa Cuisine Recipe of the Week


Roasted Carrot and Butternut Squash Cannelloni
You can use any good-quality white or green fresh pasta sheets for this vegetable-rich cannelloni. Look for the thinnest sheets possible and trim them to size with a sharp knife.

ingredients
- 3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 pound butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice (2 cups)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 pound chanterelle mushrooms, thickly sliced if large
- One 3/4-pound bunch of Swiss chard, leaves only, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 24 small sage leaves
- Eight 4-inch-square store-bought fresh pasta sheets (4 ounces)

directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. On a large, rimmed nonstick baking sheet, toss the carrots and squash with the garlic, thyme and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes, tossing once or twice, until golden and tender. Turn the oven down to 350°.
  2. Transfer the garlic cloves to a small bowl and mash them with the back of a fork. Scrape the remaining vegetables into a medium bowl and coarsely mash them. Stir 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and the nutmeg into the mashed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and chicken stock and cook, stirring frequently, until the greens are tender and the liquid in the pan has reduced to a few tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Stir in the mashed garlic and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  4. Melt the butter in a small skillet. Add half of the sage leaves and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining sage leaves.
  5. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta sheets and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and shake off any excess water. Lay each sheet on a work surface and pat dry. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mashed carrots and squash into the center of each pasta sheet. Roll the pasta around the filling to form logs. Place the cannelloni, seam side down, in a small baking dish. Brush lightly with water and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake the cannelloni for about 5 minutes, or until golden and heated through. Spoon the chanterelles and chard in the center of large plates and top with the cannelloni. Garnish with the crisp sage leaves and serve.
MAKE AHEAD: The recipe can be prepared through Step 3 and refrigerated overnight.

Travel Tips

Good day, Sandi!

Sandi here again with Spa Secret #4 of Sandi's "10 Tips to Avoid a Spa Vacation Nightmare." and it's a doosie! Enjoy!

You were so excited to finally get to the spa, that you just threw your suitcases into the room, jumped into your bathing suits and flip flops and headed right to the pool. Oh, the feeling of that pool is going to be great after that long flight and the hamburgers you have been hearing about are calling your name. You can smell the BBQ waft your way, as you open the doors to the pool area. You turn the corner and no one is wearing clothes! Surprise!

Don't be afraid to ask questions that you might have ahead of time. Many people avoid spas because they're not sure what to ask or what might be asked of them. Remember, this is YOUR spa vacation, so you deserve to get the experience that you want.

Is there something in the spa that you find is necessary? Do you want a Jacuzzi tub? Do you care if it is co-ed or not? Do the majority of the guests wear a bathing suit?
