Las Vegas, NV. January 21, 2017 – The Las Vegas Spa Association (LVSA) is proud to announce John and Michelle Neu will be honorary Hike Leaders at the 2017 Cancer Climb on March 5th.

Michelle was diagnosed in January of 2014 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). She immediately entered the hospital to start chemotherapy and after several months a donor was identified for Michele and she entered UCLA Hospital in Westwood in July 2014 for her stem cell transplant. After 37 days she was released and began her long road to recovery.

Michelle and John recently were presented with their “Team LVSA” gear and special VIP gift package from LVSA vendor member NeuLASH. Recovered, Michelle enjoys spending time with her two sons and two grandchildren and is getting in shape for the climb.

“John is really the one that needs to get off the sofa! Thank you for this honor and the opportunity to help the LVSA help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.”

Las Vegas, NV. September 7, 2016 – The Las Vegas Spa Association (LVSA) will hold the 7th Annual LVSA Spa Survey on Friday, October 7th, 2016 at the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas.

LVSA Board Member and Elle Concepts founder Liz Lesser and her team will compile the stats for the LVSA spa members. Senior Director of Spa and Wellness Jennifer Lynn will host the morning event at the MOLV.  The event will be sponsored by Spa Development International.

According to the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority, 2016 is trending positive with increases in visitors, occupancy and revenue. The resort hotel spa setting in Las Vegas has unparalleled opportunities for staff and guests. Spa visitors can expect to have an experience that utilizes the newest products and services in the industry in the largest spas in the world. Spa operators help meet this challenge by exchanging information with each other at the annual LVSA Survey “round table.”

The Survey has become an important part in the improved operations for over 30 Las Vegas area resort spa locations. Spa directors in Las Vegas work in a collaborative effort, sharing best practices with the goal of creating the best spa experience possible at each member location.
