In the fast-paced world of business, environments can be stressful, requiring intense focus that can be physically and mentally draining. The same is often true for business meetings and trade shows, as attendees hustle to stay engaged and maximize their time as productively as possible.
Las Vegas understands the importance and need for convention-goers to have opportunities to reenergize and rejuvenate their minds and bodies. The world’s premier destination for business is also leading the way with wellness offerings for every guest.
Providing better wellness options for employees and meeting attendees is paramount, and studies show that people in the work force are more aware of the benefits of improved mental and physical health than ever before. A recent Deloitte Well-Being at Work survey revealed that 84% of employees cited their well-being as a top priority, while 74% claimed it was more important than career advancement. Traveling for business can have positive effects as well. Studies show more than half of business travelers say a change in scenery benefits their mental health, and nearly half (46%) report positive impacts on physical health.
Choosing hotels with expansive wellness facilities is also important to business travelers. According to a recent BCD Travel survey, having healthy food options, fitness centers and swimming pools are among the amenities they care most about. And Las Vegas delivers on that and more, so once the show floor closes and meetings conclude, guests can enjoy an assortment of options to relax and unwind after a busy day, including some you won’t find anyplace else.
Recharge at Vegas’ Luxury Spas and Fitness Centers
Extended time in meeting rooms, workshop sessions and working a show floor can leave conventioneers tired, with stiff and sore muscles. Fortunately, your attendees will find a plethora of luxurious fitness centers and spas in Las Vegas.
