Entry No. 37 — the Las Vegas file — filed under: float-tank
IMR Float
Billed as Las Vegas' first dedicated cold-plunge room, IMR pairs two enclosed float cabins and an open float room — each tank loaded with over 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — with a circulated, filtered cold-plunge pool held at 36–42°F and a single infrared sauna, so the whole 'fire and ice' loop happens in one small Henderson strip-mall suite.
The story
Tucked into a Henderson strip mall off South Eastern Avenue, IMR Float operates far from the glitter of casino wellness centers. Founded by Prunedale, California native Erica Padilla—who also runs the sister therapy studio next door—this suburban suite holds Las Vegas's first dedicated cold-plunge room alongside a tight footprint of sensory-deprivation tanks.
The float hardware is heavy-duty: every tank is loaded with more than 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt, creating brine dense enough to suspend you effort-free. Alongside two enclosed float cabins—including a spacious Double Wave unit—the facility houses the only open-style float tank in the Las Vegas area, designed specifically for anyone uncomfortable inside a closed shell.
The core draw for contrast-therapy regulars is the tucked-away 'fire and ice' circuit. You sweat out tension in an infrared sauna before dropping directly into a filtered, continuously circulated plunge pool maintained at a sharp 36–42°F. There are no marble colonnades or concierge desks here—just raw thermal shock and salt silence inside a strip-mall suite.
What it's like
Stepping into Suite 103 puts you immediately in quiet, low-lit contrast to the concrete heat of Eastern Avenue. After showering, you'll drift on saturated salt water in either an enclosed pod or the rare open basin until room temperature and body temperature blur into the background. Switching to the contrast room trades that stillness for an immediate physical jolt as you move between the infrared sauna and 36–42°F water. Be sure to confirm current hours and reserve your tank and plunge slots ahead of time.
The move: Float in the twin cabins side by side, then alternate the infrared sauna and the cold plunge together as a couple — trading the sensory-deprivation quiet for the shock of the ice water.
