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.

I'm sorry that you and your friend had such an experience. There is decidedly a lot of places that are shady, but you are in Vegas. I am a legitimate therapist, and feel the same way you do about these places. I have to pay a fortune in advertising to compete with these people. It's an "organized crime" from the asians.
Next time, just call me. Massage Solutions
Good Luck on this crusade, it needs to be done.

We were taken to a place called "Entyce" by a cab driver after he had told us the strip club he picked us up from was the worst place in Vegas. We had the same exact experience as you. The cab driver that took me back to the hotel afterwards told me they were payed $180 to drive people there. We were drunk and stupid and didn't really know what we were paying for.
I hope they get what's coming to them. I considered torching the place before we left Vegas the next day.
you are told and there are sighns posted everywhere that this establishment does REFLEXOLOGY. not one time does any employee there use the term massage. you wanted sex or some type of sexual gratification and instead you got exactly what you were told and exactly what you paid for. PROSTITUTION is illegal in clark county (las vegas) and they state that several times as well. you are the typical pervert who deserves to feel like you got scammed when reallly the whole entire time you got exactly what you should have expected. FIGURE IT OUT. this article you posted is only partially true. oh by the way its not asian massage solutions lv...... retard.
we were in vegas for a bachelor party. we got one of the booklets that they pass out on the strip. all we wanted was a private dance for our VIP. when we called the #, we were quoted $100 per girl so we asked for two girls and one hour of entertainment. again all we wanted was dance entertainment from two girls. they arrive at the specified time to our location. when they came in they asked for the money up front and where to go to get ready. we handed them the $200 then they said "oh no, it's $150 each plus tips". we said that's not what you quoted us on the phone and she said "oh sweetie, it's $150 sorry". we handed them another $100 and then they went into the room to "get ready". not a minute they're in there, they come out and said "so just so you know we only accept tips for $50's, $100's and up". we were thought this was going to be a nice dance entertainment with two girls giving lap dances. no sexual intercourse was expected. after telling them we all have $1's they say "we're not strippers, we're entertainers" we tried calling their office and girl we actually talked to (which wasn't even with us) said they can get other dancers who can accept $1's bug we'll have to pay another fee. the two girls then turn around and just leave with our money. we tried following them to the parking lot and ask if we can just get a small dance for the $300 we gave them plus tips we had in total of $400+ but they wouldn't listen. they're skinny bodyguard who was like 18 years old came running out reaching behind his pants i guess for a gun to scare us away. oh well, just a $60 loss between six of us and none of us were willing to go to jail for half starved kids from the streets of vegas. so we took our loss. just everyone beware to never trust ads or pamphlets handed to you. if you're looking to have a gentleman's/bachelors party be sure to just stick with the strip clubs or go through someone you truly trust.
Looks like there was a happy ending after all:

There you go Kimmie - I guess you are completely full of shit after all. Good luck in jail - speaking of getting exactly what you deserve.
