Achilles 24 Review
Located on the 12th floor of the South Tower, Achilles 24 at the Riviera provides a peaceful escape from the fast-paced action of the Las Vegas Strip.
Adorned in soothing shades of pink and green, the spa offers a number of massage options including standard, deep-tissue and hot rock therapy. Also available are facial cleansings, body salt exfoliations, a slimming cellulite detoxifier treatment with seaweed wrap and tanning services.
In addition, several packages have been put together to make the decision-making process a little bit easier. The Deluxe Spa Package features a 55-minute massage, facial cleansing and mud mask as well as a body salt exfoliation. Packages for gym use only are also available.
There are separate facilities for men and women, each equipped with private treatment areas, showers, saunas, whirlpools, lockers and changing rooms.
But the real focus here is on fitness, which is evident by the accomodations in the gym. Two fitness rooms feature treadmills, elliptical trainers, free weights and weight machines. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors on every wall allow dedicated gymgoers the opportunity to monitor their form while getting into shape and give the fitness area a more roomy, airy feel. One-on-one personal training is available on request.
