MTV Brings “Spring Break” to Vegas


The teen-oriented cable network will bring its college spring break tradition and make it an affair exclusive to adults in the city of sin, Las Vegas.

MTV’s yearly tradition will be taken from the typical beaches of Mexico and Florida to the dynamic pools of Palms Casino Resort near the popular Las Vegas Strip. It will be held next month, from March 6 to 10.

This year’s “Spring Break” is a five-day MTV event with concerts and parties featuring rising personalities and acts from the cable network’s reality shows. It is the first time MTV will film the special gathering in Las Vegas since it began in 1986.

The shift will change the ambience of the network’s yearly celebration. But for the Palms, it will bring more midweek customers at a time when Las Vegas is welcoming visitors who are willing to spend money on gambling and partying.

However, underage teens are not allowed to enter the party given the tight gambling and state regulations. Palm’s owner George Maloof said everyone should be at least 21-years old to be at the pool. They will enforce plenty of security to make sure of that.

College students have been seeking special places with relaxed laws on spring break since they don’t usually turn to a legal age of 21 until they are junior or senior students at school.

For example, Mexico allows drinking at the age of 18. Thus, it makes Rosarito and Cancun Beach popular destinations for college students to spend their midterm breaks.

However, Maloof said MTV’s Spring Break will fit with Palms even if casino market seemed appropriate only for 21-years old and up.
