Background

[edit]
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino the venue for Miss Universe 2017.

Australian businessman Troy Barbagallo of Miss Universe Australia organization told the Herald Sun newspaper that he made an offer to IMG for Australia to host the 2017 edition with possible host cities to be either Sydney and Melbourne.[1][2]

On 25 May 2017, the Philippine Department of Tourism stated that the Miss Universe Organization offered to host the pageant again in the Philippines. The country hosted the Miss Universe 2016 pageant.

On 28 September 2017, the Miss Universe Organization via Instagram confirmed the date and venue for the pageant. According to their Instagram page, the pageant is going to be held on Sunday, 26 November 2017 in The AXIS theatre at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas in Las Vegas, United States.[5]
