Sensations Massage Scam in Las Vegas

Sensations is a blatant scam that is a blight on Las Vegas tourism itself. Residing next to the Deja Vu, Sensations is a trap for unwitting tourists seeking a massage. The experience is the same for all who go there.

First, you are greeted by a young woman who claims that they offer "reflexology" massage. The cost is $300 or $200. This is paid in advance and you are led into a room and asked to relax. Several minutes later, the "masseuse" enters an begins what appears to be the start of a full body massage by rubbing lotion on one hand. This lasts for 5 minutes at most at which point she states that the "treatment" has concluded and it will cost another several hundred dollars for the "VIP massage".

If paid, the VIP massage consists of an 8 minute foot rub (one foot).After 8 minutes, the masseuse leaves again and returns to say that for another $500, you can get an upgrade to the "full body relaxation" treatment. What happens after that is paid is a mystery. What is certain is that in all cases, you are escorted out of the building through a back door that leads to a dark alley by intimidating bouncers.

Granted, anyone dumb or drunk enough to participate in this scam should have seen it coming, however, this so called business is a trap that is indicative of what the city of Las Vegas will allow it's visitors to be subjected to only one block from the Strip. My friend and I lost $1200 to these con artists. Do we feel stupid? Yes, and we were admittedly intoxicated, however, we will be notifying the City of Las Vegas, the Better Business Bureau, and the Las Vegas Bureau of Tourism along with the public to help prevent others from falling for this blatant scam.
