What to expect during your visit
Aura is advertised as a smoke-free spa space. When you arrive for an appointment, check in at the spa reception desk; if you need assistance, the hotel front desk can help with directions or escorting you.
Because the spa is on the Bourbon Tower 2nd floor, allow a few minutes to reach it from the main lobby or your room, especially if you’re combining a treatment with waterpark or arcade plans.
- Arrive a few minutes early to check in and complete any intake forms
- Bring photo ID and your room number if charges are to be billed to your room
- Ask the spa about poolside treatment availability if you plan to visit Island Waterpark
| Arrival tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Arrive 10–15 minutes early | Allows time for check-in and reduces stress before treatment |
| Confirm billing method | Spa can typically charge services to room or take payment directly |
| Call ahead for poolside service | Not all treatments may be offered at the waterpark at all times |

Combining a spa visit with other Showboat activities
Many guests combine spa treatments with time at Island Waterpark or the Lucky Snake Arcade & Sports Bar. Showboat offers a Rise 'N Shine program giving hotel guests one hour of early access to the waterpark; check waterpark hours and scheduling when planning a spa appointment.
If you plan to use both amenities on the same day, book treatments in advance and verify whether the spa can schedule around your waterpark access or other activities.
- Island Waterpark: hotel guests get one hour of early access (Rise 'N Shine) — check waterpark schedule
- Lucky Snake Arcade & Sports Bar: large arcade and sports bar on property for family entertainment
- Coordinate spa booking with waterpark/arcade times to avoid conflicts
| On-site activity | How it pairs with a spa visit |
|---|---|
| Island Waterpark | Consider spa before or after waterpark; poolside treatments may be available |
| Lucky Snake Arcade & Sports Bar | Good post-spa activity for families or groups |
| Boardwalk / beach | Short walk from hotel — ideal for a quiet stroll after a treatment |
