The 35th annual Housekeeping Olympics took place in Vegas last week.
Nine teams of hotel housekeeping staff from Vegas hotels compete in challenges. Some of the events include a sheet-tucking relay, a mopping obstacle course, and a vacuuming skill test.
There’s no large cash prize; rather, recognition, trophies, medals, and industry exposure. The event is designed to celebrate the frontline housekeeping, environmental services, and facility workers whose job is often under‑recognised.
What you are watching here is the housekeeping Olympics, and no it’s not AI
