The history of Dolby Live @ Park MGM
As many people who have seen shows at Dolby Live will attest, the high quality of the audio is an intrinsic part of the experience. So, you might be surprised to learn that the Dolby Atmos sound system built into the venue wasn’t there right from the start. It was actually added years after the building was originally assembled.
Work on building the theater began in November 2015. During construction, the venue was referred to as the MGM Resorts Theater and later the MCR Concert Hall. It eventually came to be known as the Park Theater, a name it kept until Park MGM struck a naming rights agreement with Dolby. This deal saw the Park Theater renamed Dolby Live and upgraded with Dolby Atmos surround sound technology.
Both before and after this major name change, many big-name music artists performed at the venue. Its very first concert was by Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks. Other artists who turned up during the Park Theater years included film score composer Hans Zimmer, reggae star Shaggy, and the Jonas Brothers.
Las Vegas has also long been reputed for its concert residencies. Janet Jackson’s first-ever Las Vegas residency, Metamorphosis, ran at Park Theater from May 17 to August 17, 2019. Other acts to have held residencies in the building include Lady Gaga, Aerosmith, and Ricky Martin.
