Venue
In 2023, the Mr. Olympia competition once again found its home in Orlando, Florida. However, the previous year saw a shift from tradition as it returned to its traditional hosting venue in Las Vegas, Nevada. This change marked a significant moment for the event, which had spent the prior two years in Orlando, Florida, as a response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges faced during that period, the Olympia has successfully regained its pre-COVID size, drawing numerous competitors and fans from all corners of the globe. The continued global appeal of the event was evident as it maintained its practice of live streaming, allowing a worldwide audience to witness the pinnacle of bodybuilding excellence.[2]
