Report to the Principal immediately!

Since the Maloof Brothers opened it in 1997, there have been a number of owners.  Palms Hotel was closed during COVID (March 2020), and in 2021, Red Rock sold the resort for $650 million to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, which reopened it on April 27, 2022.  I think that as the hotel hotel, they can get what they need here for the press conference, athlete and staff meetings, and much more cooperation to get what is needed to make the Olympia even better.

Facilities:  The Las Vegas Palms Casino Resort has 703 rooms and suites distributed over two easily identifiable buildings, As expected, Palms Resort Vegas has a casino with all of the classic games, but in a more comfortable, less overpowering setting than the Strip’s bigger venues. The property has two pools: Palms Pool with 39 cabanas and Laguna Pool, Palms Place, which features a dramatic wrap-around pool, jacuzzi, and plush lounges. The Spa & Salon caters to all your self-care needs. You can experience 15 various treatments, work out at the fitness facility, or meditate in the yoga studio, all of which are accessible across the three levels (17,000 square feet). Brenden Theatres and Pearl Theatre feature various events, including concerts by the Isley Brothers and film screenings. Ghostbar on the 55th floor is the place to go for panoramic vistas of Las Vegas, even if you’re a non-drinker like myself.

Now, where will the venue be that actually hosts the main contest?  Rumor is that they will have in at the Orleans Arena, which is less than a mile away from Palms, which can host over 7,000 people. It used to be there for quite a number of years.

Good Morning Ron:

I've posted about this previously, but I feel some changes could be implemented to improve the Olympia.

1. Scale down the expo. We don't need a hundred different booths for all the same products of pre-workouts, energy colas, Versa-Grips, and protein bars. Just have some folding tables set up in the lobby of whatever building the show will be at.
2. Can't they just do a single show for the Olympia? No one needs the pre-judgings or female shows.
3. After they eliminate all the other shows, can they move the single show's time to mid morning? Have it last about an hour, and make it wrap up around lunch time. This would avoid rush hour/late night traffic congestion and would minimize drunk driving/robberies.
4. Just have a lunch with the bodybuilders after the show. They could pick a low priced venue location, such as a church rec hall or men's club annex building. Menu would be simple, but tasty. Menu could be family style bowls of baked ziti, chicken parm, and salads. Ice cream cups for dessert possibly.
5. Make Ronnie Coleman the MC and he could have a highly trained orangutan on stage with him as a cohost. Ronnie would sit in the corner of the stage in a folding chair for the entire show and he would call out the poses and move the bodybuilders around as he sees fit. The panel of judges would simply observe and then write down their ratings on index cards. Then when it was time for the final placings, the highly trained Orangatan on stage would go to the judges and would bring Ronnie the index cards with the scores.
