Heading to Vegas this fall? Between partying like a rock star, shopping and gambling your mortgage payment away, get a little R & R at the Reliquary Water Sanctuary & Spa at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Located inside the luxurious HRH Tower, Reliquary is a destination spa experience which has recently recreated their menu to further reflect the hotel’s deeply rooted ties to rock and roll.  With amazing facials like the Nirvana; an 80 minute treatment that includes an anti-aging facial, a warm paraffin mask on the face, hands and feet, or the Drum Sticks; a massage ritual using bamboo reeds for drumming, tapping and rolling to rebalance the body’s energy flow or the Satisfaction, which is a 50 minute body wrap that includes a firming mask. After spending a day at Reliquary spa you will be ready to go on tour or at least go back to your crummy 9-5 gig.
