SPA ELEMENTS

Design
-- Spa guests will have easy access to Vdara Health & Beauty; the
elevator
will open directly into the spa reception area on the second level of
the hotel. As guests enter, they will be welcomed by a two-story
waterfall comprised of shimmering strings of beads that glisten as
water
cascades down them into the reflective pool below. Sapele wood floors
with mink marble and river-stone floor accents will create a sleek and
modern look throughout the space.

-- Each level of the spa will express a distinct atmosphere laced with
luxury. The first level will be a light, social space where patrons
can
mingle in the main reception lobby, enter the fitness center and
salon,
browse the spa boutique or enjoy a glass of bubbly at the Champagne
Bar.
The wellness spa on the second level will inspire a calm and soothing
energy.

Wellness Spa
-- Vdara Health & Beauty's wellness spa will feature 11 private treatment
rooms, men's and women's retreats, and serene lounges. As guests relax
in their respective retreats, they will unwind with a selection of
herbal teas and apothecary-infused water, and enjoy redwood saunas and
eucalyptus steam rooms. Intimate lounges will feature inviting soaking
tubs and dramatic circular waterfalls that spill over into the pools
of
water.

-- The Relaxation Lounge and Meditation Lounge each will provide quiet
getaways where guests can unwind amongst soothing water features and
lighting. In the Meditation Lounge, a metallic mosaic sheathed in
iridescent blue and gold tones will illuminate a curtain of water that
flows behind a candlelit ledge.

Spa Treatments
-- Treatments will be both classic and creative with a focus on holistic
health and will incorporate high-grade and organic ingredients derived
from fruits, herbs, flowers, vegetables and oils. The spa menu will be
comprised of a variety of massages, body treatments and skin care
services.
-- Vdara Health & Beauty is the first resort spa in Las Vegas to launch
Dr.
Obagi's new line, ZO Skin Health, for facial services and home care.
The philosophy of this line is to create change at the cellular level,
to re-energize aging skin and constantly stimulate cellular function
by
saturating skin with stabilized retinol, advanced peptides and
powerful
antioxidants.
-- Also featured at Vdara Health & Beauty, Naturopathica Holistic
Health's
signature products will inspire healthy lifestyles through innovative
natural products. The products contain no petroleum-based ingredients,
artificial dyes or fragrances and are fortified with the
highest-quality
therapeutic essential oils and herbs.

-- Other spa treatment lines will include Akhassa, Chocolate Sun, Red
Flower and Peter Thomas Roth.

Salon Services
-- The salon at Vdara Health & Beauty will boast a full menu of services
for men and women including professional hair design, spa manicures
and
pedicures, and makeup artistry. Professional hair care products from
Morrocanoil and Kerastase will offer a variety of options for
conditioning treatments and styling.
-- Aveda also will be included as one of the lush options for hair
treatment. Aveda was founded with the goal of providing beauty
industry
professionals with high-performance, botanically based products that
are
better for guests, and the planet. Aveda is one of the largest
purchasers of organic ingredients in the personal care industry.
-- SpaRitual, known for creating eco-friendly products, will be Vdara
Health & Beauty's nail care line. SpaRitual has developed a collection
of sophisticated nail elixirs to nourish cuticles, build strong nails
and establish a flawless environment for color. SpaRitual also is the
first to offer DBP, formaldehyde and toluene-free nail elixirs in the
professional nail care industry and the first spa treatment line of
vegan nail care products.

-- Makeup artistry will incorporate BeingTRUE cosmetics, truly modern
makeup that features ideal color palettes for every skin tone and
promises all-day flawlessness. Surpassing the long-acknowledged
benefits
of traditional mineral makeup, BeingTRUE offers additional aging
defense
with super antioxidant Idebenone.

Fitness Center
-- A variety of cardio equipment with individual entertainment centers,
exercise machines and free weights will be available in the fitness
center. Fitness classes will include strength training and yoga, with
personal trainers and yoga instructors available for individual or

instruction. A registered dietician also will be available for
nutritional consultation.

hair
service in the salon.

rentals
are available seasonally.
