The renewed Norwich Spa is located in the Grand Pequot Tower and the G-Spa is located in Boston Spa expert Gretta Monahan in the MGM Grand Hotel. The properties are connected by a pedestrian bridge. From facials to massages for couples, treatments, each has a thick spa menu for your selection. I went with a basic facial costs in Norwich. I liked that the beautician did not speak much and attention to detail - a pillow under your legs, not the steam engine, too close to my face. They do not skimp on the head, neck and shoulders do as in some other places.

Both places also have packages for bachelorette parties and weddings.

See a Show

For us there is nothing more than blocking a new children's concerts gurrlicious. The gang of boys raised in Dorchester - Donnie Wahlberg, Joey MacIntyre, Jordan and Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood - Hangin '20 still difficult years later. The same applies to the audience scream - 99 percent of whom are women - filled the 4000 seat theater, MGM Grand. This was the second I show here, and although the city had seen intimate with great sight lines, acoustics still needs some work.

It is also ideal for the night for girls is a legend in the series of concerts by 5 September in the 1400 seat Fox Theater, opposite the Scorpion bar in the main square cedar casino.

Dine

So many restaurants, so little time. There are 34 restaurants between the two properties. We had dinner at the Paragon in the 24th Floor of the Grand Pequot Tower - this is a point of view. It is expensive but not flashy. A pianist provides live music. I have here a few times, been mainly for special occasions. The Rib-Eye melts like butter, and my companions raved about the lobster eating soup. I could eat their chocolate souffle, a main course and call it a night.

Brunch buffet supplied Chef Michael Schlow of Altra Strada at the MGM Grand. There is a large buffet lunch was connected to the casino. It was the usual scrambled eggs, biscuits, ham. There were also sweet and salty bacon - a perfect antidote to drink the night before.

Shop

In previous visits, not to risk, saves (26 in total). In addition, previous trips was also at the poker table video poker or Caribbean gazebo, except to eat, go to the spa, or see a show. On this excursion, shopping seemed appropriate. Panache at MGM has the tags - Ed Hardy, Rock & Republic. Kidstuff in the concourse of cedar is the most fashionable duds for the younger. There are also boutiques in watches, jewelry and other ornaments, and bags.

Drinking and dancing

When it comes to the night life (think Vegas is), the scorpion-bar and the Sanctuary (owned by Quincy native Ed Kane is operated), and then there's everything. The scorpion is a bar Mexican-style cantina on the main Esplanade Cedar Casino. There is live entertainment and tequila specialty drinks and Southwestern and Mexican cuisine. Shrine is an Asian-influenced restaurant and a nightclub in the MGM Grand. It is likely that a point of celebrity or two at one of these places.
