The family-owned spa, with roots in Las Vegas going back to 2006, now operates its Dean Martin Drive, Rainbow Boulevard and Henderson locations as Massage 1 Thai Spa, with Thai-trained therapists at all three locations.
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, November 13, 2026 -- Massage 1 Thai Spa now operates all three of its Las Vegas Valley locations under a single name: Dean Martin Drive near the Las Vegas Strip, Rainbow Boulevard in southwest Las Vegas, and Stephanie Street in Henderson. The spas offer Thai traditional massage, Swedish, deep tissue, foot reflexology and couples massage, along with facials, body treatments and private spa suites.
The name is new. The businesses behind it are not. Massage 1 first opened in Las Vegas in 2006, and A Touch of Las Vegas Spa opened in 2008. The three locations later operated together as Massage 1 by A Touch of Las Vegas Spa, and in July 2026 all three took the Massage 1 Thai Spa name.

The spa is family-owned and run by Anton Van Happen and his father, who manages day-to-day operations with on-site managers at each location. The direction of the business came from the two of them as customers. They have traveled to Thailand almost every year for close to 20 years, and the spa is built around the kind of Thai massage they had there.
"After all those years of massages in Thailand, we kept finding the same thing: Thai therapists know how to find the areas that need work and adjust the pressure as they go," said Anton Van Happen, owner of Massage 1 Thai Spa. "We wanted to bring that to Las Vegas at a price people can fit into their routine, not something they save for a special occasion."
All of the spa's therapists are trained in Thai massage techniques, and they understand and speak both Thai and English. Thai Traditional Massage is performed without oils or lotions, using stretching, rhythmic compression and palm pressure, and guests change into a loose massage outfit the spa provides. Two blends sit alongside it: a Signature Massage that pairs Thai stretches with light to medium Swedish pressure, and a Thai Combination Massage that pairs Thai technique with deep tissue work.
The Dean Martin Drive location sits in South Tech Plaza, a few minutes west of the Strip, and most of its guests are visitors to Las Vegas. The Rainbow Boulevard location, at Rainbow and Patrick Lane near the 215, and the Stephanie Street location in Henderson, at Stephanie and Paseo Verde, mainly serve local residents, many of whom book on a regular schedule.
The Dean Martin Drive location has private spa suites, each with its own hot tub, sauna, steam room and rain shower. A suite can be booked for an hour on its own or paired with a massage, and couples can use the full suite together rather than splitting into separate facilities. The family plans to add suites at the Rainbow Boulevard and Stephanie Street locations around summer 2027.
"Couples book a massage together, and then at a lot of spas they get split up for the sauna and the hot tub," said Anton Van Happen. "We wanted them to be able to do the whole visit together, in a space nobody else is using."
The spa offers five facials, and the esthetician starts by asking what the guest wants for their skin before recommending one. Massage 1 Thai Spa also offers no-contract wellness memberships that can be paused at any time, gift cards, and a corporate program for employers.

Less than half of households in Japan subscribe to a daily newspaper, a level not seen in about 60 years, according to a media tracking report, signalling further evidence of the decline of print as the favoured news medium in the country. While the report shows most Japanese no longer read newspapers, they still trust legacy media more than online media. “It is commonly said that two factors have reduced the number of people subscribing to print newspapers,” said Tetsuo Hatanaka, a professor at...

Indonesia’s fresh drills this month on its first and only aircraft carrier have refocused attention on the issue of whether the costly, ageing vessel is being put to good strategic use.

The Indonesian navy conducted helicopter operation drills aboard the...
