FORCAST: FABULOUS

Early March in Las Vegas hits a sweet spot, with typical daytime highs in the upper 60s to low 70s( 20-22 ° C), and cooler evenings dipping into the mid-40s( 6-9 ° C). Pack a layer for after dark— and plan to step outside and enjoy the desert air before or after Conference activities.

And don’ t worry: Rain is a rare guest this time of year.

A TASTE OF MANDALAY BAY

Attendees won’ t have to go far for a memorable meal. Mandalay Bay offers options for nearly every appetite and schedule, including iconic favorites like: l l

Orla, chef Michael Mina’ s Mediterranean restaurant CARAMÁ, Wolfgang Puck’ s celebration of Italian cooking l StripSteak, Michael Mina’ s modern American steakhouse at Mandalay Bay l Bourbon Steak, Michael Mina’ s modern steakhouse at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas l Border Grill, featuring bold Mexican flavors from chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger l Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar, serving elevated American fare in a lively sports-focused setting l House of Blues Restaurant & Bar, serving Southerninspired favorites in a casual setting

Looking for someplace to continue the conversation after dinner? The new Vinyl Room pairs Strip views, cocktails, music and Asian-inspired bites for an elevated end to the evening.

In the main tower’ s Spa Mandalay awaits 30,000 square feet of relaxation, with massages, facials, salon services and fitness offerings. This is a true oasis just steps from the Conference action.

For another take on wellness, head to BATHHOUSE Spa at W Las Vegas, connected to Mandalay Bay. The co-ed spa features 12 treatment rooms along with therapeutic plunge pools, steam rooms and saunas— a polished escape when it’ s time to recharge.

THE SUN HAS ONLY BEGUN TO RISE on the spa industry. Self-care is increasingly recognized not as an indulgence, but as an important part of well-being— and spa has a growing role in helping people live well. With that opportunity comes responsibility: to lead with skill and integrity, challenge old assumptions and keep moving the industry forward.

To Rise is to move with intention. It means embracing new ideas, sharing knowledge and recognizing that our greatest progress will come not from any one spa, brand or region, but from an industry willing to grow together.

The 2027 ISPA Conference’ s theme of Rise is an invitation to lift each other up, lead with purpose and step confidently into what comes next.
