I lived in LA during the 84 Olympics. I know that was one of the games that was profitable for the city but from what I recall it's normally not profitable for most cities.

But there's lots of kudos and intangible benefits from the Olympics. I worked for IBM in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics. Fun times. And the buzz in the city during the event was amazing.
