Hot Shave in Vegas?

[Adcurium]

I'm headed to Vegas for just a few nights. I'm staying at the Mirage. Can anyone reccomend a place for a hot shave?

The Art of Shaving may still do them at the Mandalay Bay.

John: I just got off the phone with A of S. Shave and a haircut is 80 bucks. I think I'll schedule one for my first afternoon there.

My update: I just called Truefitt & Hill to ask if they still have a barbershop in Lv. They do not. But they said the two master barbers from the T&H store now work at the Salon in the Mirage. Per Truefitt & Hill, Noe and Nikki are the best barbers around and while they don't work for T&H, they highly recommend the two.

The Salon at Wynn.

$80?!? My barber charges $13 for hot shave and a haircut. Wow, I'm stunned.

In Providence, we pay $60 for a shave and a haircut and $75 for a ROYAL shave and a haircut (which is a shave with a post shave masque). So, I don't think $80 is that out of line.

I'm with Brad. For $80 I'd suspect an underlying euphemism.

When in Chicago: Truefitt&Hill; 900 N Michigan Avenue; 312 337-2525

I am willing to bet the price has to do with having isurance.

Welcome to the new, more expensive, Fabulous Las Vegas! Shout out a big hello to my hometown, your neighbor city to the north for me (The Springs).

New, more expensive?[huh]
I stayed at the Venetian last April, and a pot of coffee/room service cost
over $30...:eeek: Just adjust and adapt and make the terrain work to your advantage
when in Vegas.

I was just up there last weekend, stocking up on Rittenhouse again.

Bernie, what are you doing out Vegas way?

Moved out here 15 years ago for a girl and a job. Still have the job (DA's office), girl went back to Co. Springs!

Las Vegas has become a destination vacation and the top end places figure they can charge what the market will bear. It's still possible to find a number of deals in Las Vegas but you sure do have to look a lot more than you used to.

Just an update: I got a royal shave and haircut at The Art of Shaving and it was top-notch. I figured I could put 80 bucks on the card table, or instead use the money for my shave. I made the right choice. Joe LaSpisa was my barber and I can't recommend him enough. My wife thinks it was the best haircut I've ever had (and I agree with her). When in Vegas, make it a point to go see Mr. LaSpisa. BTW, he used to work at the Vegas Truefitt and Hill shop before it closed.

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take?

 

[Adcurium]

Hector, honestly, I'm not sure bc I didn't have anywhere to be until later that evening so I wasn't really watching the clock. But if I had to guess, I would say under an hour and a half.
