The event will be held at the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino. A tour of our Steamboat Springs Healing Center & Spa will be offered to the group by Steamboat. Here are the details:
Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center & Spa is Reno, Nevada’s only mineral hot springs. A registered state historic landmark, the day spa features geothermal water for soaking combined with the relaxation of a spa getaway. Considered a local treasure, Steamboat’s famous natural volcanic waters are chock-full of rare, health-boosting minerals found nowhere else in North America. Guests have the option of soaking indoors in private spring-fed tubs with complimentary aromatherapy and color therapy options or can unwind in the outdoor geothermal hot tub. In addition to soaking, Steamboat Hot Springs offers guests an array of luxurious spa services, such as therapeutic massage treatments—including those using CBD oil—sauna, mud treatments, lymphatic stimulation, cupping and hot stone therapy, exfoliation scrubs, chakra alignment therapy, vibrational therapeutics and Naturopathic consultations, to highlight just a few items on their comprehensive spa menu.
