If you have followed our articles for any time at all, you know that we enjoy covering new attractions for children and families. This particular one is really for the parents, but hey, parents need love too. Furthermore, if you have followed our articles recently you will likely notice that we enjoy covering old haunts that have recently renovated. As a fifth-generation northern Nevadan, I appreciate these articles probably more than most others do, which is why I take particular pride writing this one.
As dads β and as men broadly β we often get overlooked in many ways. From my view as a professional family therapist, I think it is simply because we like to move, compete, or create for our relaxation.

And I believe that practicing sitting still and learning to be tranquil is a good thing.
This is where the new Spa at Silver Legacy makes its entrance into this piece. If you are a dad and have never had a spa day, please consider it. Some of us have had the privilege of sitting in a brine room outfitted entirely with pink himalayan sea salt bricks and come out the other side feeling quite refreshed.
Some of us have had massages, cold water baths, pedicures, facials, and even couples treatments with our significant others. But none of us have had the experience constructed from scratch at this particular spa. Spa manager and facility visionaire George Powell-Lopez was imported from out of state with an impeccable history of working at the most elite spa resorts in the country. He aims to recruit and retain only the best and most talented staff whom he can train to deliver the five-star experience that is a reflection of his own passion.
I would rather hire someone fresh and new out of massage school so I can train them into what I want them to be here. Being fair, the gym is quite nice with all rubberized equipment and the treadmills have the latest app-driven technology hello, YouTube.
