First time at Mr. Olympia this year (2016) and had such a great time!! All the free product (samples, tee-shirts and shakers) was worth much more then what the expo ticket cost. Granted it is very crowded, but if you stay all day from 10-5 then you have more then enough time to get samples and see bodybuilders. We had parked at the New Orleans and took the free shuttle to the Las Vegas Convention center. If you park at the expo it is $10 which is still reasonable. I also recommend purchasing your tickets in advance because it is cheaper pre-purchase and you avoid waiting in long lines at registration. I will definitely be back next year!!
