If you go to anything go the the night show were everyoen does their routines. That is the most entertaining. Pre-judging is for the anal people that want to sit there and watch everyone lined up doing their mandatory poses. it is cool, if I had enough money I would go to both. But if you have to choose defenitly go to the evening show.

I was thinking of going to all 3 shows, just cause I will be there. (might as well splurge, even if the tickets are in US money, which sucks for me!) So you think the pre-judging is a waste of $$$$? Do you know how long the pre-judging and the night show last? (time)
Thanks P-funk or anyone else!

No pre-judging is not a waste of money at all. It is awsome. that is were you really see the guys compete. I mean, that is where the competition is won. the night show is just for fun and doesn't way that heavily on the final decision of the judges. the pre-judging is were the comparisons are. if you can afford it go to both, defenitly. i was saying if you were forced to choose you should go to the night show though. i am not sure how lon gpre-judging lasts. i can't remember.

Thanks again Pfunk

We went to a pre-judging show and it was long ... maybe 2/3 hours at least. We were in Mandalay Bay and thought that row F (6 rows up) would have been good, but it was hard to really see the competitors. If you do go, be sure to bring binoculars to really get a good appreciation of the size of the guys/gals.

I would suggest going to some of the free chats that some of the competitors put on. Not only are they informative but it's neat to see that they are just like you and I in terms of daily activities. We saw Shawn Ray and Greg last year while sitting poolside. It was really cool.

Another suggestion is to come a bit early to the events and just hang out. You never know who you'll see. And to get a pic with some of these monsters is pretty neat.

Are you going to the olympia this year Nt???

We might ... not sure yet. But if we were going, it just wasn't our cup of tea to see all the Olympia shows. I had more fun just hanging out waiting for the event to start (pre-judging for the women) than I did at the actual event. We had even more fun at the Expo, but everyone is different.

If you haven't seen the comp before, it may well be worth it for you. I know that many of those who went last year from here really enjoyed the Olympia events.

Steve and I are going-he won a travel voucher from work, so our flight and hotel will be paid for, so all we have to pay for is the tickets and spending money! (we dont really gamble anywase) The 'expo' thing really interests me too-its a bunch of different booths right???? Steve is super excited to go. Im also excited to shop in Vegas!

We found the expo the best part. You get to meet several bb celebs and get some free starter supplements. I was excited to watch the missus shop in Vegas because I could drink while she was doing that.

flight and hotel are the biggest part ... you'll have a blast!! Being that this is the case, you might want to purchase tickets for the final night and enjoy all the hype and excitement that goes along with it.
