Hollywood Casino Aurora today announced its partnership with beauty and wellness entrepreneur Stacey Steffes to bring Drift Spa to its brand-new casino and hotel, currently under construction.

- A dedicated salon and barbering area with 11 stations for hair, makeup, and nails
- Seven dedicated rooms for massage therapies, including deep tissue, Swedish, and therapeutic treatments
- Non-chemical salon services focused on hair health and holistic care
- Manicure and pedicure services
- Customized facial treatments designed to support skin health
- Thoughtfully designed spaces featuring calming lighting and interiors to create a serene experience
“We are excited to bring Drift Spa to the all-new Hollywood Casino Aurora. Building a new property from the ground up gave us an opportunity to introduce new amenities with our guests and community in mind,” said Greg Moore, Vice President and General Manager of Hollywood Casino Aurora. “Hollywood Aurora is already known for providing a great place to play and our new location offers so much more—entertainment, celebrity-driven dining options and, with Stacey on board, a beautiful spa experience.”
“This strategic partnership creates a space where guests can step away from the pace of everyday life and truly relax,” said Steffes. “I am committed to collaborating with Chicago-area brands, creatives and makers with shared values to help bring our vision to life and make meaningful connections in Aurora.”…
