What is a Massage Parlor?
A massage parlor is identified as any location where a massage is provided. The term “parlor” is often given a negative connotation. Many places simply call themselves a spa. When the term “massage parlor” is used, it is often associated with the sex industry. There is a phrase known as a “happy ending” which identifies that there is a sexual release provided along with the massage.

A “happy ending” is a form of prostitution, which is illegal in Las Vegas and the rest of Clark County. As such, massage parlors will not advertise that they offer such a service.

There are two different types of people who might work at a parlor. The first is a masseuse, which is typically identified as a female. Masseuses may or may not have licenses in Nevada. The second is a massage therapist, which is someone who is licensed and who has gone through specific training.

Massage parlors typically break down to include

  • hotels
  • in-room
  • Asian

Those who are seeking a massage will have plenty of choices throughout the city. Reviews are a big part of finding the right place to ensure that the people are friendly and that there is value provided for what a person pays for the services.

NURU is a common massage that is offered, which began in Japan. The masseuse will use her body to provide the massage. The word “NURU” translates to mean “slippery.” Much of this has to do with a gel made from seaweed leaves that is applied to the body. It allows the masseuse to slide across the client’s body during the massage.

A Korean massage, which involves thumbs and elbows on pressure points, is offered at many locations. It will often involve shiatsu and reflexology as a way of releasing the stress in muscles. The Imperial Spa is one of the top rated massage parlors for this type of massage.

There is always massage parlor etiquette that should be followed. A person should dress for comfort when going to a massage parlor and leave their valuables within their hotel room. Additionally, there is other etiquette that one should note as well.

  • Guests disrobe to a level that is comfortable for them.
  • Masseuses will often provide options for service.
  • Guests should refrain from asking for “extras.”
  • Tipping is highly encouraged across all parlors.

It's also important to note that some massage parlors and spas will have answering services and provide a call-back, particularly the ones found in high-end resorts and hotels. Other locations will involve speaking directly to the girl providing the service. Either way, it’s best to ask questions if there is an uncertainty to what one is getting prior to showing up for the massage.
