New York, NY (AHN) - The MTV Video Music Awards this year will be broadcast live from Las Vegas, the cable network announced Wednesday.
The show will air live September 9 from the Palms Casino Resort.
"We're deconstructing every expectation of what an awards show should be to deliver a music experience for our audience, unlike anyone else connecting them beyond television," MTV President Christina Norman said in a statement. "We look forward to a weekend of rock n' roll chaos and producing the most sinful and explosive musical showcase of the year."
Moving away from a stage-based awards show, the network plans to host the event throughout the casino. Some parts will be aired in the Palms' hotel suites, others on the casino's rooftop, according to a press release.
"The Palms is honored to be host of the 2007 Video Music Awards," said Palms Casino Resort owner George Maloof. "The opportunity to showcase The Pearl Concert Theater as the venue for the awards show is extremely exciting."
The show will only air once - at least in its original form. Subsequent airings will be "remixed versions that will be programmed by and for the viewers," the statement said.
