The lady at the Miracle Mile shops gave me the best massage of my life. Only regret was that they were about to close so I could only fit 30 mins of time in. Ill definitely be back!

I was in serious pain due to an inflamed sciatica. I saw Kevin Shaw in the Flamingo Casino Promenade and he gave me relief. It is not the first time that Kevin has helped me and I canât say enough good things about his work. It wonât be the last time I see him. Totally professional and worth every penny. Five Stars. Thank you again Kevin.Thanks Amber
