While I'd be happy to host the Olympics IFF it did not involve taxpayer money and included actual infrastructure improvements, that seems unlikely to happen.
I do recall one thing I heard on NPR a few years ago about the Olympics: It is, perhaps, the most consistent civil project with respect to its proposed budget, that any organization could undertake. It has _never_ been on budget, and often is off by at least half.
