OK hippies, here’s your big chance for fame & fortune…

Me and several of the crew are all booked at Planet Hollywood to attend the Mr. Olympia. We will also be attending the Expo- which is down at the Sands Convention Center. December 15-17.

There will be drinking.
There will be gambling.
There will be drug use.
Visiting the ice machine at the Mirage is optional.

No masks allowed. No social distancing.

Join the party! The more the merrier! All are welcomed!

PM me or just post here. It will be lively.

See you there - I will be at the Palazzo at The Venetian Resort, closer to the expo and quite a few meetings.   Nice to be back in Vegas.

The Venetian Convention and Expo Center is where the expo is, which was the originally called the Sands Convention and Expo.  Some people who are going still think it is at the Las Vegas Convention center, which it is not this year.

Do people wonder why an out of shape guy is taking pictures of bodybuilders?

No. Same like the people who make movies don't look like the actors.  Only a few, you over the years are obsessed, keep asking me that over and over again.  Not shooting a lot this past year either, and going to the Olympia more for meetings and friends and saying hello.

Right on Ron! 

Last time we spoke was the NPC Mr. LA I believe. Culver City. A Jon Lindsay show.

I keep asking you year after year with the hopes that you will finally get in shape.

Yep - I kinda agree with you.  I do my 10,000 steps a day, but long hours at work and the love of eating food whacks me out.   Not an excuse, but it is what it is.  I will walk a lot in Vegas ... from lunch to dinner venues :)

What specifically for you interested in bodybuilding, Ron?

Do/did you work for a supplement company, and became interested in the industry from there? Was Getbig a platform to advertise the company you work/worked for?

Join the party brother.

Expo tickets $35
Evening show $175 (good seats)

It’s a bit odd the big show is at Planet Hollywood and the Expo and some prejudging is at the Venetian/Sands Convention Center but it should be big fun.

Raiders play in town that weekend too.

Damn - If only - I'm not one of the GetBig Multi Millionaires
I can't afford to go / time off work / flights etc

It would be awesome - Enjoy  ;D

you guys should get the GB crew and go workout at Dragons Liar and have Ronson do a photoshoot

Tommy, I'll take you up on that offer without the drugs but can I bring my dog?
(That's a long story for another time which is BB related.)

But first let me warn you all.

I am what some casino folk call a low-limit pro gambler who knows all the odds (House Advantage) on all the table games .... so let me warn you all that it's best to play off the Strip and avoid 3 - 2 Blackjack pays, triple zero roulette, and $25 table minimums.

If any GetBig gambler plans to hit the casinos and has table game questions, feel free to send me a msg from this board.

I will sum this up by simply offering two of the best places to have a decent meal without breaking the bank.

Ellis Island on Koval and Flamingo one block east of the Strip. Great Fish & Chips but not in the courtyard. And great Baby Back Ribs after 4:30 PM till 10 PM. Everything on the menu is pretty damn good.

The Peppermill  on the Strip across from Resort World.

Any place else on or near the Strip is either a waste of time or over-priced.

BUT .... It appears that everyone whom I know comes to Vegas to have a good time and  lose all their money.

So forget the above .... Get high, get drunk, get a weekend hooker, and get broke, and brag about it all when you get home. Or tell us all about it on this board.

On yea! If you can find an original Buffalo slot machine .... feed it a twenty and watch the Buffalo stampede!

Another OH YEA .... Beers at Back  Stage on Flamingo are $3 and the same at Ellis, but  usually free while playing.

Hope to see ya Ron! No interest in the contest but I'll definitely enjoy the Expo.

PS. Someone owes me a hundred because Titus ended up in jail.

I won but I no longer have any idea who bet me that he would not

PS I do not accept nickels, dimes, nor quarters.

I believe he lives in Culver City. His dig must be worth 1.5 million now.  Too busy living high and eating well.

Assuming you don't know any sharps.  :(

G-THANG. Sharps??!

I know zilch about 'SHARPS"  unless you mean those red recepticals in most ever LV casino men's room where you can insert your needles once your iinjection  is complete.

Close??! Or far off base?

Thanks for the edumacation!

That show was the start of my bodybuilding journey into schmoedom. It was featured in the first magazine that I can remember reading. I even brought it to school. My classmates and teacher probably thought I was gay!

I’m very scared of going to my 20 year reunion. “Hey, homo! Did you bring your precious, queer muscle magazines?” *captain of the football team proceeds to give me a noogie while dragging me to the bathroom for a swirlie*

Hello Champions🎄

Hope everyone is big & strong and getting ripped and huge for the holidays.

Something unfortunate has happened and I must head up to Washington State. I will not be at the Mr. Olympia.

Apologies Ron.
