The two days that matter
The expo floor is only open Friday and Saturday. Everything else in the weekend happens at the Palms or the Orleans Arena.
FRI
Buyers and pros. Your best conversation day.
Doors at 8am for VIP, 9am for general public. Pre-judging starts on the expo stage at 9:30am, so the crowd splits between the stage and the aisles all morning. The hall thins out after 3pm — Friday Finals are at 6pm across town at the Orleans Arena and people leave early for shuttles.
SAT
Volume day. Highest foot traffic of the show.
Same 8am VIP / 9am public opening. Mr. Olympia Finals are at 7pm, so Saturday's afternoon drain starts a little later than Friday's but hits harder — everyone wants to get back and change. Bank your sales before 3pm.

2.3 mi
Convention Center — the booth
The short one, and you never cross the Strip to get there: the house and the
LVCC are both east of it. Figure 12–18 minutes door to hall, longer once the 8am
exhibitor queue backs up. For a 7:15am call at the booth, roll out by 6:40.
4.7 mi
Palms — press conference, parties, seminar
West of the Strip, so this one crosses the corridor. Fine midday, slow at night.
5.3 mi
Orleans Arena — Friday and Saturday Finals
The hard trip. Crosses the Strip and I-15 into an arena letting thousands in at
once. Friday doors are 6pm and Saturday 7pm — budget 40 minutes, not 15, and rideshare
surges hard when the hall empties. The show runs shuttles from the expo; check the FAQ.
Distances are straight-line from the house; driving runs roughly a fifth to a half longer on
this grid. Verify the first run on Thursday and correct these numbers.
Confirm these before Friday. The official schedule doesn't publish expo closing times, and it doesn't list start times or stage locations for the floor events (strongman, arm wrestling, powerlifting, Zumba, Olympia University and the rest). Get both from show management at move-in, then update the traffic notes — a strongman platform two aisles from 351 changes your whole day. Also walk the floor plan and note what's next to you.
Expected traffic by hour
Volume estimates built from the published Olympia schedule — not measured counts. Adjust after Friday morning and the model gets much better for Saturday.

Crew counts assume a booth you can work from two sides. "High-value" hours mean fewer bodies but better ones — VIP ticket holders, retail buyers, gym owners and sponsored athletes get in an hour before the public both days. Put your closer on those hours, not your newest person.

The script
OHS Trainer Accelerator — the four-role booth script. Read it, run it against the clock, or get drilled on it.
▸Crew notes
Anything the crew wants to add on top of the script — lines that worked, answers you had to invent on the floor. Shared with everyone.
