Hot Times in Steamy Springs
One of the hottest things a senior couple can do is enjoy a sultry soak in thermal waters. At Tecopa Hot Springs Resort, located just 80 miles west of Las Vegas, you can step into a rejuvenating, silky smooth, mineral-rich, 104-degree hot bath and feel your worries and stress melt away.
“Las Vegas seniors make it a day trip to take a warming dip,” Tecopa Hot Springs Resort office manager Genevieve Church said. “Visitors from all over the world stop on their way to Las Vegas, or upon leaving to clean away the sins of the city.”
According to the Resort, their therapeutic waters originate deep in the earth’s crust, hundreds of miles underground, where aquifers are geothermally heated by magma chambers. When that water is propelled through rock with incredible force and energy, it is pushed through mineral deposits that dissolve into the water and makes its way to the surface.
Intermountain Health finds soaking in hot springs can detox your skin, relax your body and mind, improve your circulation, and help with joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, eczema and psoriasis, gout, high blood pressure, and digestive issues.
At Tecopa, the private bathing rooms allow you and your partner(s) to enjoy the warm penetration in 350-gallon tubs. You can dip into the ripples and waves or lie on the sunken lounge for a soak. The heat and sound of slapping swells enfold you while you enjoy each other’s company. While bathing suits are left to the discretion of the participants, Tecopa’s Church said they prohibit passion in the pool, for health reasons.
The churning waters can be enjoyed throughout the day in indoor bathing rooms that feature skylights, so you can feel like you’re outside while being protected from the harsh desert elements. You can even take a healing dip in the evening, especially after enjoying dinner at the rustic Steak And Beer where 5-Star Chef Eric turns up the heat.
Tecopa is a sizzling spot for seniors to enjoy the warmth of the hot springs and steamy overnights at the Resort’s motel rooms and cabins.
