NPC Mother Lode

NPC National Qualifier | May 13, 2023

The NPC Mother Lode is a visual extravaganza! The show hearkens back to before the Golden Days of bodybuilding to a time when muscles could be found only at freak shows and on the inside of dirty red and white striped tents.

This show will inspire and ENTERTAIN like no other! Our competitors will star in our opening act with costumes, music, celebrity guests, and acrobatic exhibitions!

Our audience will want to jump from their seats with inspiration as they watch their favorite athletes battle for the coveted Mother Lode trophy and free entry and lodging at our NPC Worldwide Invictus Pro Qualifier. All will take place on a stage whose visuals are second only to the stunning athletes who will grace our stage. What’s more, is a carnival of fitness vendors at our venue’s doorstep, bringing you steals on the most interesting fitness-enhancing products and wares.

The whole event, everything; hotel, check-ins, tanning, make-up, and the show take place under one roof. We give you generous competitor bags loaded with goodies from our sponsors.

CONTEST PREP GUIDE
NPC Mother Lode Venue Nugget Celebrity Showroom 2

Nugget Celebrity Showroom

Venue

This state-of-the-art venue has hosted a wide variety of performances, including comedy acts, musical acts, and other live performances. The Sinatra-style showroom is an intimate venue with just 780 seats, so book your tickets early! Some of the notable acts that have performed at the Celebrity Showroom since the 1950s include musical acts like The Temptations, The Four Tops, Liberace, Boys II Men, and Jimmy Dean. The showroom also features a full bar, providing guests with a variety of drink options to enjoy during the show.

The Nugget Casino Resort has a history dating back to the 1950s. One of the most notable elements of the resort’s history is the elephants who once opened the shows! Elephants Bertha and Angel and were trained to perform tricks and were a staple at the resort for many years. However, the exhibit was eventually phased out, and the elephants were retired to a sanctuary. While the live elephant exhibit is no longer in operation, the NPC Mother Lode pays homage to its history with full-sized gold elephant-themed decor and imagery throughout the show!
