Exclusive Signature Spa Treatment Infuses Australian Wisdom

LAS VEGAS – When looking for a body and mind-altering experience, look no further than the MGM Grand Spa’s signature treatment, “The Dreaming Ritual.” Massage, hair mask and hand and foot treatments are woven into this experience designed to rejuvenate body, mind and soul, from head to toe and outside in. This exclusive two-hour treatment, only available in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Spa, incorporates Australian Aboriginal massage techniques. The Australian Aborigines have a long history of massage from the time a child is born and using the earth’s natural resources to generate individual health and balance.
The journey begins in one of MGM Grand’s private spa suites with Aboriginal music playing softly in the background. While the guest’s eyes are closed, an incense-smudging ceremony is performed so as to ground the body and close out the rest of the world. This is followed by a warm foot soak that includes aromatic herbs, a pressure-point foot massage and an aromatic foot mask that eliminates tension from the bottom up.
The indulgence continues with an exhilarating body exfoliation, body mask with pure Australian mud, and a penetrating mud scalp treatment. This complete body rejuvenation simultaneously cleanses and delivers essential nutrients to the skin. While the body is being enriched in the Mapi body mud, guests experience mask and massage techniques on their scalp. Following this invigorating treatment, guests rinse off in the private spa suite’s large, open granite shower with special side-mounted shower jets.

Next, guests choose from a selection of rich Australian oils, formulated to purify, relax or detoxify and then surrender to a soothing Australian Aboriginal massage. This full-body massage ensures deep and total relaxation and a complete re-harmonization of body and soul.
At the end of a soothing two hours, guests sip on a hot cup of lemon myrtle tea, draped in a plush robe and relaxing on a comfortable lounge chair in their private spa suite, to help bring them back into the present.
“Our guests experience such a deep state of relaxation with ‘The Dreaming Ritual’ that they are speechless when they leave us,” said Rachel Knapp, director of recreational services. “We are fortunate to have discovered this beautiful tribal experience so that we can share it with our guests.”
Utilizing potent Australian flora, earth, sea minerals and plants with an emphasis on purity and quality together with this holistic treatment, ensures maximum therapeutic benefit. All of the products used are derived from elements grown on organic plantations in Australia and combined with pure botanicals and essential oils.
