The Olympia is postponed, moved from September 2020 to December 16th, 2020, and also a new venue and hotel, Planet Hollywood Hotel with the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas

They are bringing the Olympia back to the Las Vegas strip!

The Zappos Theater (formerly The AXIS and Aladdin Theatre for the Performing Arts) is a mid-sized auditorium located at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip. The venue hosts a variety of events from charity benefits, concerts and award shows. It is used frequently for the beauty pageants: Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. From 2013 to 2017, the auditorium was the home to Britney Spears's concert residency 'Piece of Me' and Justin Timberlake's annual concert to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children. In 2011, it was voted as one of the "Best Concert Halls & Theaters In Las Vegas". It can have an audience of 7,000 people.

We created this page in an effort to answer some of the most common questions concerning the Olympia’s big move to Planet Hollywood in December on the Las Vegas Strip.

Q: I’ve already purchased a 2020 VIP package for September, and confirmed my seating arrangements. Will my same seat(s) be assigned in the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood in December?

A: The seating layout for the Orleans Arena & Zappos theater are different, but your new seating assignment will be as close to your original one as possible. A seating map of the Zappos Theater and your new seating assignment will be emailed to you by the end of June.

Q: I’ve already purchased a 2020 VIP package for September, but I cannot attend in December. How and when can I get a refund?

A: You can request a refund by sending an email to VIP@MrOlympia.com after June 30th and before August 31st. Your refund will then be processed within 7-10 business days of when it is received. This process has been mandated by our credit card processor so we thank you in advance for your understanding. All refund requests received between June 30th and August 31st will be processed.

Q: I would like to purchase a VIP package for the 2020 Olympia in December. How and when can I do that?

So will getbiggers be on the right or the left side closest to the stage? I would hate to get tickets and be on the wrong side

Hope this really happens. Nevada has a Dem Governor who’s lock step with other Dem Governors in the country

Hmmmm. Isn't the theater in Planet Hollywood a lot smaller than the one at the Orleans?

I wonder why they didn't just leave it at the Orleans? It's cool it's not cancelled but now it's awfully close the the Arnold. I wonder if that is better for the athletes diet. I would think they'd like a bigger break in between the two shows.

I'll be keeping my eye on updates.

I like the Olympia being on the strip though.

Why would they move it to December when that could be the 2nd wave of shutdowns from the Shanghai Shivers? How will this effect prepping for the Arnold?

Who wants to go around Christmas? Marketing is piss poor. Didn't even get my request for my usual VIP tickets this year. After Dallas and Luke, the rest don't matter. Bodybuilding is dead! You just watch. Only positive thing is they moved it out of that shithole Orleans.
Around the Christmas holidays?? Lol. Merry Corona!!!

Actually I like the timing. It's cold where I live and Vegas is a nice change of weather not to mention I would think it would be a little slower and less expensive.

Hopefully those with Mirage rooms by the ice machine can get refunds/reschedule.

I'm sure they can find that at the "Hard Rock."

Two Las Vegas Strip Hotel Room Rates for the Olympia as of 15 May, 2020

4 nights PLANET HOLLYWOOD
$600 +/- (Includes room with one queen bed/tax/resort fees)

4 nights FLAMINGO
$440 +/- (Includes room with one queen bed/tax/resort fees4 nights

Above figures are approximates and are subject to change.

But if you plan to be in Vegas for the Oly, I recommend that you book early and make sure that there is NO cancellation fee.

Ask about parking fees as they are not included.

LV hotel room rates can change on a daily basis. If the demand increases, the nightly rates follows ... so the above rates will change.

I got to give Dan Solomon credit for addressing Kai Greene in his interview with Palumbo. Saying he's being disrespectful to the fans by constantly teasing them the last couple years by trolling them in his videos.

I hope it’s cancelled lolz

The backlash in the bodybuilding will be tremendous!

Kai is trying hard to stay in the spotlight and remain relevant but the truth is he's done. He'll never make it in Hollywood like he wants and his philosophical rantings are nonsensical and stupid. He tries hard to portray a certain image but fails miserably. He's nothing without bodybuilding and I think he's starting to realize that.

Kai got 6 million followers on instagram.

I have a feeling he's doing alright.

Followers dont equate to fans, hell look at Luke's GoFundMe, he has 250k followers and only 2,000 people donated to it. Look at Kais likes on his pics average likes are between 40-80k that also says a lot, for 6 million followers and such a small like ratio things aren't adding up.

So which bodybuilder has a heart attack first from running that much juice for three extra months?
