Who's Going To The Olympia?
« on: September 13, 2017, 05:21:12 PM »
Once again, I am not available to travel to Las Vegas to attend the Olympia.

So, just curious, aside from Ron and stuntmovie, is anyone here going to all or part of the Olympia?

I used to really look forward going to the expo with my friends and kids. we would get into the convention center parking lot really early, getting a close up parking spot. and start drinking. I would bring a big ice chest filled with rolling rock beer, and we would open our first beer by 8 am.
we would enter the expo, start filling up out bags with free stuff. some years we would walk away with over twenty t-shirts. muscle tech was big back then, lot of shirts from them. the kids would do all of the events and contests, and everyone had a blast. we never once watched
the contest, as we really didn't care who won. afterwards, we would go get a nice meal at a hole in the wall called the 4 kegs, then hit the hotel and hit the pool and jazzui.

but the last time I went about three years ago, it was not the same. my kids were older now, my friends didn't want to go, so it was more subdued.

now I would not go to Vegas if you paid me. nothings cheap, pay for parking, no food deals anywhere. traffic, bums everywhere. forget about it.

How can you make me pay to park my car in your hotel??????? what the fuck??? its not the money, as I have lots of money, its the principle.

JUDO, I'll be there but only for the EXPO.

And you are absolutely correct about 'paying to park in the Strip hotels' but you forgot the 'resort fee' scam!

And of course ... the 6 to 5 blackjack payoff.

I avoid all hotels that pull that shit on their customers and when I find myself in one of their casinos  ..... I let them know about it in no uncertain terms.

As far as good and cheap eats, if you ever get back here I would recommend Ellis Island "coffee shop"for decent meals at low prices.

And the baby back ribs are some of the best ribs I have even had but are only served at dinner hours in the restaurant behind the coffee shop.

You will be treated well at Ellis Island .... but if you like 'fancy' ... go someplace else.

And never gamble more than a nickel without your Player's Club Card.

Even now I receive free hotel room stays at least once each month .... and I haven't even been there at all this year.

Plus I get tons of stuff which make darn nice Christmas gifts.

You just gotta know how to play these casinos without letting them outplay you.

A fun town if you enjoy 24 hour activity of every imaginable sort possible.

Don't youtubers set up booths at the Olympia now?  I'm assuming they have longer lines than the bbers now.  Jay and Phil have all but killed bbing, two of  the most boring fucking Mr Os in history!

No, but seems like this is expo talk so related...
Expos at any bb show suck now, no free swag anymore and you literally have to beg for a shaker. I remember about 4-5 years ago I'd go to an expo take pics with hot babes and leave with about a year supply of samples, I felt like I was a sponsored athlete from 06-08. Now you go and they give you samples in medicine cups, wtf am I supposed to do with that? "Oh yea rocket pop cool"

or you could grow up, start wearing shirts that doesnt say TRAIN LIKE A BEAST!!! on them and buy your own supplements

just an idea you know.

i got this idea about being a grown man, making your own money, buying what you want and pay for it with your own money etc

i know, i know, im crazy, still

Stuntmovie: been going to Ellis island for years. 😎 Had the ribs, but always get the steak dinner. Fantastic.
Always reminds me of old vegas. Love that place

Was able to leverage a work conference flight ticket to leave early and the Ronzoni / GB mod connection landed me some sweet seats to the prejudging and finals.

Now, it's just up to me to pull away from the tables to actually go watch these homos prance around.
