Getting to the Las Vegas Olympia Bodybuilder Expo
Getting to the different event venues will vary depending on where you are staying. If you are staying at the Palms, there will be a free shuttle service to take you to the LVCC and the Orleans Arena on Friday and Saturday.
Guests staying off-property at another resort or on the Vegas Strip can also take advantage of the first-come, first-served free shuttle service. Shuttle service from the Palms to the LVCC will run from 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Shuttle service from the Palms to the Orleans Arena will start at 4:00 p.m. on Friday and at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and run until 11:30 p.m. on both evenings.
However, if you are staying on the Vegas Strip, the easiest way to access the free shuttle service is to use the Las Vegas Monorail.
The seven stations along the 3.9-mile route include:
- SAHARA Las Vegas Station
- Westgate Station
- Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center
- Harrah’s/The LINQ Station
- Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station
- Horseshoe/Paris Station
- MGM Grand Station
The Monorail runs daily starting at 7:00 a.m. until:
- Mondays: Midnight
- Tuesdays – Thursdays: 2:00 a.m.
- Fridays – Sundays: 3:00 a.m.
To get to the LVCC, simply get on a northbound train at any station south of the Convention Center, or a southbound train at either the SAHARA or Westgate stations. Then, ride the Monorail to the Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Once you arrive at the station, follow the signs to the South Hall, which is about a ten-minute walk. From there, you can board one of the free shuttle buses to get to the Palms for events there, or transfer at the Palms to get to the Orleans Arena.
