The Best Coed Spa in Las Vegas: Awana Spa ReviewThe Lapis Spa is the newest and, in my opinion, the best coed spa Vegas has to offer. Overall, the Fontainebleau is an amazing hotel, and I’m happy to report that its spa did not disappoint. Last year, I wrote a review of the Awana Spa at Resorts World. In my quest to find the best coed spa in Vegas, I just HAD to review the Lapis Spa. So, without further adieu, I present the Lapis Spa.
Spa Hours
9 am – 7 pm Sunday – Monday
During the weekends (Friday-Sunday), only registered Fontainebleau hotel guests can book treatments and have spa access. This spa is much more exclusive than the other spas in Vegas, which can be good or bad depending on which side of the hotel fence you’re sitting on.
Hot Tip! Tuesday and Wednesday are the slowest days. That goes for all spas in Vegas.
Spa Pricing
Trying to find their pricing is horrendous! They don’t have a spa pricing menu, so the only way to view their pricing is to call or start the online booking process. This is beyond frustrating for cheap-Os like me who want to quickly scan for the cheapest option to get into the spa. I’ve made it easy for you by compiling all the prices in one easy-to-read place (as of Aug 2024). Gosh, I’m so nice.

Spa Passport Pricing
No service? No problem! Even if you don’t book a massage or facial service, you can still pay your way into the spa to use all their facilities. For $180, you get 4 hours of access to the spa facilities. Here’s a list of all the spa facilities you get to enjoy with that Spa Passport:
- Event Sauna Experience/Sauna Meister Event
- Stargazing Lounge
- Celestial Waters
- Vitality Pools
- Steam Room
- Infrared Sauna
- Himalayan Salt Room
- Star & Snow Showers
- Salt Mist Therapy
- Oxygen Therapy
- Heated Tepidarium Chairs
- Cold-Plunge Pool
If you’re considering the Spa Passport because you’re not booking a massage or facial service, consider booking a foot or leg treatment and adding the Spa Passport for $75. It might make more sense than purchasing the spa passport by itself.
Reboot Lounge (Foot & Leg Lounge)
I didn’t have the opportunity to experience the Reboot Lounge, where all the foot and lower leg action takes place. Not all services include access to the spa, meaning foot treatments, lower leg treatments, manis, and pedis do not include use of the spa facilities. However, if you book a Reboot Lounge treatment, you can add the Spa Passport for $75 (versus $180 if you don’t book any service). Think of it like slipping the bouncer $75 to get yourself into Club Lapis.
Supernova Suite
Speaking of clubs, if you love that exclusive club feeling and want the VIP wristband experience, Lapis offers an exclusive spa within a spa called the Supernova Suite. Inside the Supernova Suite are private lockers, a private whirlpool, and a luxurious lounge for up to 8 guests. A spa within a spa. Only in Vegas.
Event Sauna
The Event Sauna, traditionally known as the “Aufguss” in the Nordic spa tradition, is a spa performance inside the sauna. The event, led by the Sauna Meister, aka Aufgussmeister, is a one-of-a-kind performance for 15 minutes that combines dancing towels, music, and aromatherapy.
Fun fact: many of their Sauna Meisters are also Cirque du Soleil performers!
Sauna Meister Event Times
- Lo-Tide Mornings 10 am & 11 am
- Hi-Tide Afternoons 3 pm & 4 pm
The Lo-Tide Morning combines calming melodies with soothing lavender and chamomile aromatherapy.
The Hi-Tide afternoon offers a more uplifting vibe with upbeat music combined with energetic pine, citrus, and spearmint aromatherapy.
Stargazing Lounge
The stargazing lounge is where I had the opportunity to reflect on all my life choices. It’s a quiet room where you can kick back, snuggle up with a blanket, and look towards the convincingly celestial skies.
Celestial Waters
Steam Room
I’ll be honest; I don’t remember anything about this steam room. That tells me it wasn’t bad but wasn’t unique enough to stand out. I’ll assume it was a classic steam room that got the job done. It looks clean, though!
Infrared Sauna
There are two infrared sauna rooms, but as you can see from the photos, one is normal-size while the other is cozy-size.
Himalayan Salt Room
Salt Mist Therapy
Snow Showers
The snow shower room is cold but fun! You’ll feel like you’re standing under a snow cone machine with all the snow falling on top of you. It’s enough to make yourself a decent snow toupee or snow buddy as long as there is no one waiting outside for you to grow up.
Herbal Inhalation Room
Anti-gravity Chairs
These anti-gravity chairs are easy to miss in the back of the coed space. Plus, if no one uses them correctly, it’s not obvious they’re anti-gravity chairs. Once you find them, lay back and experience what it feels like to take a load off your lower half.
Women-Only & Men-Only Areas
The women’s-only area received very little action since all the fun stuff is in the co-ed area. The nice thing about the women’s-only area is that there’s a good chance you’ll have the space all yourself if all you want to do is soak in a hot tub. But then again, why even come to a coed spa in the first place? FYI, swimwear must be worn at all times while in the coed area but clothing is optional in the separate men’s and women’s areas.
Food & Beverage
There is no option to purchase food inside the spa, nor are there in-and-out privileges to go out for a lunch break. However, they do allow you to bring food inside the spa and provide light snacks, teas, and plenty of water. Next to the snack and tea bar is this sitting area, which is not considered part of the coed space.
Muselis Final Thoughts
My only complaint about the Lapis Spa experience was the ambiguity around where to wait for appointments. Next to the tea and snack tables was a lovely space with couches and comfy chairs. So naturally, I assumed that was the designated area to wait for my appointment. Nope! Luckily, I was keeping an eye on the time. So when my appointment time came (and almost went), I informed a spa attendant. That’s when I found out I was supposed to take an elevator to where they hid all the secret treatment rooms and wait in their Secret Lounge. I’m kidding; it’s not called the Secret Lounge, but it sure felt that way at the time. Maybe the front desk check-in gal forgot to mention this detail, or maybe I wasn’t listening. Either way, I wish there was signage with flashing Vegas lights to inform idiots like me where to wait for appointments. Other than that little mishap, I absolutely loved Lapis Spa!!! The facilities were the best I’ve ever experienced, and the Sauna Meister was a true sauna master.
Comparing the two best-coed spas in Vegas: Lapis Spa vs Awana Spa
Between the Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau and the Awana Spa at Resorts World, the Lapis definitely had the upper hand. Unfortunately, that upper hand ain’t cheap because Lapis treatments are noticeably more expensive than Awana, including their spa pass.
Awana Spa day pass:
Lapis day pass:
Both the Lapis Spa at the Fontaine Bleu and the Awana Spa at Resorts World have an Event Sauna complete with Sauna Meisters, a Salt Mist Therapy room, and multiple vitality pools (hot tubs and cold plunge pools), but Lapis one-upped Awana by adding: a Stargazing Lounge and Star & Snow Shower (aka ice room). So technically, they two-upped them. Come to think of it…there were a few more perks at the Lapis Spa that Awana Spa didn’t have.
- Hot tea
- Infrared saunas
- Anti-gravity lounge chairs
- Sauna Meister event was every day vs. only weekends at the Awana
- The event sauna has hypnotic imagery projected onto a 110″ LCD screen
Final score? Lapis Spa has now six-upped the Awana Spa. Leave a nice comment below if you want me to write a more in-depth review comparing the two coed spas.
