Awards Shows
MTV Has VMAs on Lockdown!

You want your VMAs? Pay attention -- this year you're only going to get one shot.

TMZ has learned MTV is set to announce tomorrow that the 2007 Video Music Awards will be held in Las Vegas on September 9 at the Palms Hotel and Casino. Not only will the awards show air that Sunday, but MTV plans on turning Vegas out that entire weekend. Time to book that Southwest flight!

In addition, what happens in Vegas really will stay in Vegas. The network, notorious for running its awards shows over and over ad nauseum, has changed its tune. This year's VMAs will only be seen once, broadcast live in its original form. Remixed versions of the show will be run, created by and for you -- the viewer. If you only want to watch the rap-related awards -- that's what you'll get.

We're told MTV thought the Palms' owners, uber-celebufriends the Maloofs, would be a perfect fit for this year's event.

Think we can get a comp buffet (or two)?

4. Oh boy, another NBA All Star weekend complete with thuggery, grabbing, robbing, raping, and even a murder or 3 or 4 thrown in for good measure.

I hope this time the City of Vegas takes charge of the security and not leave it to MTV like they did with the NBA which led to a fiasco--ask anyone who works there. And dont tell me the MVA crowd is any better---it aint the stars, its the "fans" and tagger ons that bring the trouble

12. i just hope the awards aren't gonna be as wack as they were last year. Every year, the show gets worse and worse. Last year, hardly any celebrities showed up! they all went to the EMA's instead.

14. Donna #10,

I'm not sure how easy it is for the general public to get into these types of events.
You should try contacting the Palms or MTV to find out about tickets. One thing is
for sure there will be a lot of celebrities in Vegas for the VMAs pre and post parties.
