LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - MTV's flagship Video Music Awards, which plunged in the ratings for a third consecutive year in 2006, will try their luck in Las Vegas next time.

The lifestyle cable television network said on Wednesday the 24th annual ceremony will take place at the Palms Casino Resort on September 9.

Last year's event, held in New York, drew just 5.8 million viewers, down from 8 million in 2005 and 10.3 million in 2004. Both those shows took place in Miami. The only other city to host the show has been Los Angeles, most recently in 1998.

The host, performers, nominees, and presenters for the 2007 edition will be announced at a later date, said MTV, a unit of Viacom Inc..

What's the sense of even having these awards, when they don't even play videos?!?
