PALMS LAS VEGAS NAMED OFFICIAL HOST HOTEL OF THE 2026 OLYMPIA WEEKEND

Organizers of the Olympia announced today that the Palms Casino Resort has been selected as the official host hotel of Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend, marking an exciting new chapter for the event that sits atop the world of bodybuilding and fitness. Following a 700 million-dollar multifaceted renovation, the Palms is re-emerging for its luxury and modern energy, an ideal home for the Olympia’s global fan base.

The Palms’ world-class culinary lineup, nightlife, spa and pool scene provide an array of experiences tailored to every type of Olympia guest- including the iconic Ghostbar, perched high above the Strip, providing one of the most striking skyline views in the city. With a reputation for blending sophistication and fun, the Palms captures the spirit of Las Vegas while offering the comfort and convenience that Olympia attendees expect

Olympia President Dan Solomon shares, “Coming off an incredibly successful 2025 event, one of our objectives for 2026 is to create a series of new and elevated experiences, while also making the visit to Vegas a bit more affordable for fans, media, exhibitors and sponsors. The Palms aligns perfectly with that mission. We’ll have more announcements soon detailing some additional changes aimed at welcoming an even broader audience.

Is The Palms cheap? I’ve never stayed there, too far off the strip but did go to the ghost bar about 15 years ago. I thought it was fairly new then.

Thank you, Ron.

Would anyone like to go with me to the expo and show? We could stay at the Wynn and we could split the cost. I’m also planning on training at some of the gyms.

Yes, it's cheap but as of 20 years ago had some good clubs.

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.

I prefer domestic schmoes in the audience as opposed to smelly 3rd world schmoes
