Beauty Events in Las Vegas

Few cities host as many beauty events as Las Vegas. Its resorts double as conference centres, so the year is full of shows covering aesthetics, medical spa, massage, skin, hair and the wider beauty trade, often within walking distance of each other on the Strip.

The year opens in spring with the ISPA Conference and Expo for spa leaders, followed by the Medical Spa Show at Wynn Las Vegas and the Multispecialty Aesthetic Conference at Bellagio. Summer is the peak: Be+Well Las Vegas takes over the Las Vegas Convention Center in June, The Aesthetic Show returns to Wynn and Cosmoprof North America fills Mandalay Bay in July, and massage therapists head to Planet Hollywood for the American Massage Championships and the World Massage Festival. The year closes with The Summit for salon business owners in October and MedSpa Pro at The Venetian in December.

Every beauty event in Las Vegas is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can choose your show and plan the trip.

Getting around the Strip

Most of these events sit along Las Vegas Boulevard, so the distance between venues is short on a map but can feel long on foot, as each resort is vast. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip with a stop at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and free trams link some neighbouring resorts.

Where to stay

Because so many events are held inside hotels, booking a room at the host resort is often the easiest choice: Wynn for The Aesthetic Show and the Medical Spa Show, Bellagio for the Multispecialty Aesthetic Conference, Planet Hollywood for the massage events. For Be+Well, choose a resort near a Monorail station.

Tips for Vegas beauty events

• Check who each event is for. Cosmoprof North America, The Aesthetic Show and the Multispecialty Aesthetic Conference are trade only.
• Late July is a good time to combine trips, with the massage competitions and the World Massage Festival back to back at Planet Hollywood.
• Resort conference areas are kept cool, so pack a layer even in summer.
