Debi Laszewski
Heading out to the Olympia from Florida, Debi was caught up by the infectious
energy in Vegas... and we agreed in the simple accuracy of "it’s
Vegas!" |

Amber Goetz
Surprisingly... Amber was the very first person to mention the "G" word
in her answer - GAMBLING! Hello? Anybody going to comment on the Gambling
in Vegas? Amber did, and chimed in another big one, the party scene .. which
she
felt was much better than the ones at the Arnold in Ohio. |

Allison Ley & Lauren VanCleave
Two fresh faces to the Olympia scene, these girls were first-timers and
felt a little overwhelmed by Las Vegas and the show... but were quick to
add that they were both having a ton of fun! |

Jeannie Paparone
Being a Las Vegas local is pretty nice when a show like the Olympia comes to
town. Jeannie expressed her excitement about the growing fitness scene and the
increased number of Pro’s coming into Vegas. |

Kathy Feldman
Kathy likes the clubs and after parties just as much as the next girl, but
the $100.00 she had won the night before was making Vegas look pretty good! |

Charlie Goodnough
Once again I found the bright lights of Vegas described as "full of
life". Charlie was all about the festivities surrounding the unbeatable
location of the Olympia. Describing the people as "up", I didn’t
quite get the sense of that energy until I ventured out later that evening.
Thinking back the next morning.. I understood the fervor encircling this
show. |

Natalie Stratton
"It’s Vegas!!!" She burst, and
I felt a little foolish, because really, did she need to
say more? Natalie offered additional insight as she described
the magical touch of Vegas’ fingers, which somehow loosen up even the most
tense individuals. Everything edgy becomes giddy and fun - who can deny the
twinkling lights of the strip? |

Bryce
& Laura Lewis
Bryce was especially excited about the great food. Laura talked about Vegas’ ability
to draw people from all over the world, which give the sport great exposure!
Perhaps
a few new bodybuilders and fitness competitors have been inspired by the
amazing level of discipline and success displayed by the Olympians this year! |

Lisa Reed
Catching the excited fever that is undeniably Las Vegas, Lisa described it
as a city full of "life," with endless possibilities for fun. A
party that Lisa doesn’t ever miss. |

Desiree
Ellis
When I spotted Desiree, whom I had met before in Vancouver, I knew she’d
have some thoughts on Vegas. Des felt that the biggest plus was all of things
you can do in between the competitions and the expo. "Vegas is so
much fun!!!" |
