Las Vegas NV: MGM Grand Rooms Improve Health


We’re not lion when we say Vegas may not be healthy for your wallet. However, there’s a new upscale trend at the MGM Grand to make guests feel healthy. The lion-themed resort originally designated 42 rooms as individual health spas.

Now there are 171 upgraded spa rooms and suites offered as Stay Well accommodations. Designed by health expert Delos, the Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Deepak Chopra, guests enjoy more than a dozen health enhancements.

Certain to help senior visitors after a tough day at the casino, they include long-wave soothing night lights, hypoallergenic bedding, Vitamin C showers, air purification and jet-lag easing energizing lights. Single room rates start at a modest $72 a night. For booking and other information, go to www.mgmgrand.com
