    Default Should the 'O hit the road again?

    Certainly Las Vegas has become the home of the 'O, but I'm old enough to remember when it was in different cities across the country, and in other cities around the world.

    Would it help pro bodybuilding if the 'O began to hit the road again? NY, LA, CHI town, Dallas, Philly. And what about international venues. Could the 'O make more money if it was held in Europe once in a while?

    It may or may not make more money in other venues, however one thing is certain Vegas provides the night life no other city can.

    I think it could expand the fan base a little bit possibly. However it might be one of those deals were the city of Las Vegas has paid rights to host the Olympia. Not sure about that part but I think it is an interesting idea.

    Going international would give the event more allure,
    also possibly more media attention and fans aswell.

    I for one know that European BB fans would pretty much
    visit the Olympia on mass,if it was ever held there.

    Yes move it around annually.
    Hardly the crowning international level competition if it stays put in vegas.
    It should be more like the olympics in that respect.

    Although I love Vegas, if you have been there for one O or more it does get old. I think new locations could certainly help.

    Do it in Europe, somewhere like Spain, Germany, Italy...More people will go and more European competitors too.

    Absoultely.It's been held in Vegas since 1999.It would be exciting to see it elsewhere like back in 1998 when it was in New York.
