Mr. Olympia Returns to Las Vegas!


by Shawn Ray

This December 15-18th at Planet Hollywood’s amazing Zappos Theater the 58th Joe Weider Mr. Olympia returns to Las Vegas, Nevada!

Welcome sign at Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America.

The past two years have been challenging for most people, sports fans and businesses worldwide as we battled through a global pandemic that in some regions of the world still rages on however, The Business of Bodybuilding is resilient and rumbles on with what is to be potentially the Biggest and Best Mr. Olympia Weekend in the sports History! Throughout the pandemic our world- class athletes have been hard at work fighting back by building their bodies through hard training and dieting to build up their immune systems and resist the sickly viruses that have raved many who are susceptible to getting sick. Since 1999, the Joe Weider Mr. Olympia called Las Vegas home first in 1999 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino then in 2006 at the Orleans Arena before moving temporarily to Orlando, Florida the past two years where we witnessed the Egyptian, Big Ramy won his past two Mr. Olympia Titles!

2X Mr. Olympia, Big Ramy

Las Vegas played host to exactly 6 of the past 16 Mr. Olympia title holders since 1999: Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson, Phil Heath, the Late Shawn Rhoden and Brandon Curry.

During the Mr. Olympia Weekend there will be many activities and events taking place most notably is the return of the Olympia EXPO being held at the all new Venetian Expo & Convention Center located at:

• 3377 S Las Vegas Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89109
