If it were up to me, I’d choose the following sites as PERMANENT OLYMPIC sites where they can rotate every 4 years...

SUMMER OLYMPICS

Los Angeles (this made profits for the city in 1932 and 1984. Facilities still being used )

Sydney (this made a profit too and was one of the best venues ever. Facilities still being used )

Seoul ( This made a record profit in 1988. facilities still being used )

London ( This made about 53 million pounds in profit ).

WINTER

Salt Lake City ( This made over a hundred million in profits and the facilities are still being used )

Calgary ( made about 35 million Canadian in profit in 1988 ).

Lillehammer, Norway ( I think they broke even, but the facilities are still being used by Norway, the Dutch and the Swedes )

Excellent idea and I would add Lake Tahoe (1960 winter olympics) to your winter schedule.

Only a 90 minute drive from Reno....

Any place where the facilities are still being used are good ones! :-)
