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.

        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

        vegan nail care products.

    --  Makeup artistry will incorporate BeingTRUE cosmetics, truly modern
        makeup that features ideal color palettes for every skin tone and

        with super antioxidant Idebenone.
