Miss America Pageant Moving To Aladdin Planet Hollywood
After 84 years of crowning beauties on the
Boardwalk, the Miss America pageant is moving to the Las Vegas Strip, organizers announced Wednesday. It will be the first time the contest has been staged outside Atlantic City, N.J.
The Aladdin hotel-casino will host the pageant, scheduled to air
Jan. 21 on Nashville, Tenn.-based cable channel Country Music Television,
organizers told The Associated Press.
"What we wanted to do is find a new host city that has all glitz
and glamour Miss America is known for," said Art McMaster, the pageant's
chief executive. "Obviously Las Vegas is right at the top of this list."
The pageant has been dogged by financial troubles and slipping
viewership in recent years. It was dropped by ABC last year, leaving
Miss America without a network TV contract for the first time since 1954.
