Welcome To Good Karma Kid!!!
I used to blog just about poker, but recently decided to write about everything of interest to me. I love to travel, enjoy good food & restaurants, drink some wine, and take pictures of my adventures. I got my nickname about 10 years ago when I used to play a lot of poker in Washington State, and guys used to tell me that “I was Lucky.” I always replied “I’m Not Lucky, I Have Good Karma” and a poker friend starting calling me “The Good Karma Kid”. Hope you enjoy the blog, if you like a particular article make sure to leave a comment

My wife and I have been suffering from parental burnout. We have two small boys, aged 2.5 and 1 who are quite demanding, as I’m sure the parents reading this blog can attest to. Grandma and Grandpa were both in town at the same time so we took advantage of the small window of opportunity and headed to the Drift Spa at “The Palms Place” for about 5 hours.
The Palms Place is the new luxury condo tower which sits on the same lot as “The Palms” hotel. The Palms place sold out in under 90 days. It’s in a great location with a very hip and modern atmosphere.
Back to the Spa, I would highly recommend checking out this spa if you are in Vegas, its smaller, more personable, and intimate then some of the megaresort spas but thats part of the charm. The “Drift Spa” features separate mens and womens sections with large jacuzzi, sauna, and steam baths, a comfortable lounge area with a large flat screen TV, ample supply of daily newspapers and magazines as well as a refrigerator stocked full of water, fruit juices and fresh fruit to enjoy during your stay at the day spa. The highlight of the Drift Spa is the Hammam, a traditional Turkish style communal wet sauna. This is really a nice feature, my wife and I could relax in the Hammam together and enjoy the steam then head off for a round of sauna treatments or massage and then meet back in the Hammam after an hour or so. Here is a picture of what the Hammam looks like:
I would highly recommend checking out the Drift Spa at the Palms place if you get a chance, it was an enjoyable experience.
