Oh oh the IFBB clowns are dodging a fact I have posted. Why doesn't someone from AMI call the convention center and have them put the show on the calendar. This is something a promoter does. Makes sure things are done. Do you realize how many people visit Vegas and like going to conventions like this. Typical half-ass promotion for the Olympia. Sad really sad.
Well, they do realize that very few people who are planning to visit Vegas for other reasons will bother to check out the Expo. It just is not a very Vegas "event". It's probably safe to bet that over 97% of Olympia Expo attendees will be people who went to the convention center (whether residents of Vegas or out-of-towners) for that specific purpose.
Things were much different when the show was at Mandalay Bay, because you had a lot of walk-up traffic from people who just happened to be visiting the hotel that weekend and noticed that something 'interesting' was going on. Plus, back then, the Expo was free, so that was even more of an enticement to lure in people who otherwise might not have gone in.
By being at the convention center, the organizers *know* that every person who comes *intended* to be there, so therefore it's easy to charge them $10/day for entry. Free is better, but I haven't heard anyone complain seriously about the $10 fee.
I don't know about the online calendar, but the LVCC did put up a very nice sign on the front of the building last year. I actually like the "O" logo and it did serve nicely as a beacon a year ago to let people know exactly where the Expo was taking place once they arrived at the venue.
