ellness”—for many of Las Vegas’ transient guests—is often not the first word associated with Sin
City. But The Mirage Spa, with its renovated 20,000-square-foot spa and salon, aims to change all
that. Not only has the spa undergone a major facelift in 2007 which included the expansion of the
spa boutique and fitness center, it also launched in October last year it’s new yoga experience called
“Yoga Among the Dolphins” which integrates yoga with one of the property’s most popular attractions: bottlenose dolphins.
“When I looked at adding yoga to our spa menu, it only made sense to take advantage of the property’s exotic, wondrous
dolphin world and the atmosphere of relaxation provided by the animals,” says The Mirage Spa’s Director of Spa Operations
Stephanie Doud, who was tasked by The Mirage management to expand the property’s wellness offerings.
