      Been looking over the things to do, and the skyjump seems to be a interest of mine. Jumping off 855 foot building sounds like fun!

      I'm really hoping to get out there, trying to get everything set up so I can roll over. At least so far the plane tickets seem to be cheap...

      Yeah I got $357 each and if you go to the Orleans hotel, they have group rates for the olympia. $39.00 a night except Fri/St at $95 each night. Damn good. I am planning a week!

      I was going to hit you up about it, but I'm waiting a bit to see if I get everything cleared before I get my hopes up.

      Thanks for the props, bro, but trust me - the pics don't do it justice. We're always adding more shit....

      That sounds awesome! I had a blast last year, so let's def plan on it again this year!

The discount makes that place hard to beat. And just stay till the following Wed. Hit the expo all 3 days. The Olympia Finals on Sat night. And do the first Olympia UBC!

      Everything else would be on the fly. Rev, any advice would be great! And if you have anything as far as info on if the Orleans is ok or not that would be good to hear about. Like I said we will be staying for a few days past the O. So would it be good to change hotels to be more on the strip on say Sunday or Monday for a couple days. The Orleans offered same $39 a night for whole time!

      Orleans is a pretty decent place: movie theaters, solid buffet, etc. Plus, they have a free shuttle back and forth to the O, so it'll save you $$ on a rental, taxi, and gas.

      The expo is only Fri and Sat. But I will start my Sin City for the O Q&A thread in about another month.....

      BTW, since the Gold's on Flamingo closed this past Feb (where UN always holds the post-O ABC), guess we'll have to find a new place..... *ahem*........

      Posted this over on the U site under where the next UBC should be!

      I think it should be at the O! Have it at Rev8ball's place, http://dominateyourgame.com/ . Need to make sure we get some of the guys like BigAl, BigAnt, Mr. Long, Vinny G, Antione, Brad, Halliday and Landry, Nick, Higa, P, Seath, Ben, The Hoff, Ox, House, Wrath! Dont need to make it a Universal sponsored athlete only event. Bring all the Athlete's from all three sides, SP, Animal and the U. What a gathering it could be! Powerlifting, Bodybuilding and Strongman. Great way to bring this whole family together!

      Thanks, Guns.
      I agree. Especially since there won't be a Cage or ABC. If we go the route of a UBC, that will work well, too, since we have seminars, classes, and lectures here quite often.

      Announcement

      We are thrilled that we have DOUBLED the size of the Mr. Olympia Expo. That’s right! We are taking over South Hall 1 AND South Hall 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Twice the size means twice the excitement.

      So cn we get an Animal Cage and a Universal booth?
