The spa question at Ellis Island Hotel: what the property actually offers
Short answer: Ellis Island Hotel does not have a standalone spa or a spa treatment menu. The property offers a seasonal outdoor heated pool with an adjoining hot tub (often described as a spa tub or Jacuzzi) for registered guests, but no verified on-site massage or beauty-treatment facility.

The spa question — what’s actually on site
There is no named day spa or treatment center at Ellis Island Hotel. Publicly available property information and multiple travel listings do not show a spa menu, therapists, or treatment rooms.
What the hotel lists (and what travel sites repeat) is a hot tub or spa tub that sits next to the outdoor pool; listings that say “Spa: No” refer to the absence of a separate spa facility with treatments.
- No verified spa treatments, massage therapists, or treatment menu found in official or third-party sources
- Property does advertise a hot tub / spa tub adjoining the outdoor pool
- If a booked package mentions spa treatments, confirm directly with the hotel before arrival
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Named spa facility | None found |
| Hot tub / spa tub | On site (adjacent to pool) |
| Spa treatments (massage, facials) | Not verified — confirm with hotel |
Pool, hot tub and pool access
Ellis Island has one outdoor heated pool and an adjoining hot tub; these are listed as reserved for registered hotel guests. Free cabanas and sun loungers are advertised as part of pool access.
Published pool hours vary by source (examples range from about 8:00 AM–10:00 PM to 9:00 AM–8:00 PM), so check current hours with the hotel when you arrive.
- Pool access is included in the mandatory nightly resort fee for registered guests
- Cabanas and loungers are available free for guests (subject to property rules)
- Pool is seasonal — pools in Las Vegas often close in winter months
| Feature | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Pool | One outdoor heated pool; seasonal |
| Hot tub / spa tub | Adjoining the pool; guest-only access |
| Pool hours | Vary by source — confirm with property |
Rooms and suites — where you’ll relax
Ellis Island sells three room types: Standard Room (available as 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds), Suite, Balcony (1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds), and Deluxe Room (1 King Bed). Room features commonly listed include free WiFi (covered by the resort fee), in-room coffee, mini-fridge/safe in many rooms, and standard bathroom amenities.
If having a balcony is important to you, book the Suite, Balcony explicitly; other room types do not guarantee an outdoor balcony.
- Standard Room — 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Suite, Balcony — 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds (includes balcony)
- Deluxe Room — 1 King Bed
| Room name | Bed options |

| Standard Room | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds |
| Suite, Balcony | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds |
| Deluxe Room | 1 King Bed |
Fitness, wellness and conflicting listings
Sources disagree on whether Ellis Island maintains a fitness center. Some listings and a resort-fee breakdown mention a small fitness center; other travel sites and guest reports say there is no fitness center. We couldn’t verify a consistent, current fitness-facility description from the property.
Because of that conflict, if a fitness room or specific exercise equipment matters to you, contact the hotel directly before you travel to confirm availability and hours.
- Some sources: 'small fitness center' or 'state-of-the-art equipment'
- Other sources and some guest reports: 'no fitness center'
- Recommendation: confirm with the hotel if you need a gym or fitness access
| Feature | Reported status |
|---|---|
| Fitness center | Conflicting reports — verify with hotel |
| Spa treatments | No confirmed offerings |
| Hot tub | Confirmed as part of pool area |
Resort fee, deposits and other practical policies
Ellis Island charges a mandatory nightly resort fee; that fee is described across sources as covering unlimited WiFi, pool/hot tub and cabana access, two bottles of water daily, lobby coffee, local/toll-free calls, in-room coffee, extended cable, free self-parking and baggage storage.

A refundable incidental deposit (reported as USD 100 per stay) is collected at check-in in addition to the resort fee. The primary guest must present government-issued photo ID and a credit card that matches the reservation name; at least one OTA lists that cash is not accepted for incidentals.
