LAS VEGAS—ED's Awards Show organizers ED Publications announced Friday that the 2022 ceremony has changed locations to the Paris Theater inside the Paris Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
The venue change comes, the annoucement explained, due to magician Criss Angel now being scheduled to shoot a reality show inside original location the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The awards show will still be held on Tuesday, August 16, from 9 to 11 p.m.
"The good news is, it’s a very short walk from one casino to the other, as Paris and Planet Hollywood are right next to each other," the announcement said. "The even better news is, the one-hour Awards Reception will now include an open bar!"
The announcement went on to note that the reception will now be held from 7-8 p.m. at the London Club inside Planet Hollywood (instead of the previously scheduled time of 8-9 p.m.), and that at approximately 8 p.m., those at the reception will be invited to walk en masse to the Paris Theater.
“Obviously it’s less than ideal to move our ED’s Awards Show at the last minute, but the Paris Theater is a beautiful venue for the Expo’s marquee event,” said ED Publications’ Publisher, Dave Manack. “We hope that everyone can join us as we celebrate the industry’s top clubs, entertainers and club staff.”
The 2022 ED’s Awards Show will be hosted by comedian Bret Ernst, who in addition to his stand-up career, appears in the hit Netflix show Cobra Kai.
