Awards Shows
MTV Has VMAs on Lockdown!

Posted May 1st 2007 7:44PM by TMZ Staff

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)?

11. 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.

12. 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.

14. When do they air videos on MTV???

15. Another dying franchise go to Las Vegas to try to boost ratings. The NBA did it this year with the All-Star Game. So has numerous other shows like the Billboard Awards, Vh1 Divas Concert, and Miss America. It's not the location, but the TALENT OR LACK THEREOF, on the stage. The VMAs have sucked for many years now. When I think of the VMAs, I think of Guns N' Roses doing Welcome To The Jungle. Bon Jovi doing a acoustic version of Wanted Dead or Alive. Snoop with Murder Was The Case They Gave Me. Alanis Morrisette bringing down the house with You Outta Know. We can't forget the diva the set it off, Madonna with Like A Virgin. You can't bring back those days. These musicians today don't have that kind of magnetic superstar appeal.
