The AXIS theatre has been home to headlining concert residencies such as Justin Timberlake & Friends, Paris By Night and Britney: Piece of Me, Jennifer Lopez: All I Have, Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life and Christina Aguilera: The Xperience It was also announced that American entertainment company Live Nation Entertainment would take over operations and management of the venue from BASE Entertainment. On December 19, 2013, the venue was renamed 'The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino'. On June 28, 2012, the auditorium was renamed to the 'PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino'. The theater was the host of the Miss Universe 1991, 1996, 2012, 20 pageants, several Miss USA pageants and several Miss America pageants. In 2010, the center saw a resurgence in use, hosting at least 15 concerts annually. In 2004, the venue made international news when spectators walked out of a Linda Ronstadt concert while expressing support for filmmaker Michael Moore. Due to the additions of the MGM Grand Garden Arena and Mandalay Bay Events Center, the venue was used infrequently by music acts. In 2000, the venue reopened with a performance by Enrique Iglesias, with a capacity decrease to 7,000. During the renovation, the center's original structure was removed, incorporating the venue into the casino area of the hotel. In 1998, the venue closed while the original Aladdin Hotel was imploded. ĭuring the hotel's financial troubles in the 1990s, the center became its main revenue stream. During the 1970s and 1980s, the auditorium became a staple on the Strip for many rock and roll acts.

The center opened on J(America's bicentennial weekend), with Neil Diamond, who was paid $750,000 for five sold-out shows. In 1972, the hotel was sold to Sam Diamond, Peter Wevve, Sorkis Wevve and Richard Daly. Planning began in 1969, with concepts showing the venue as a separate building.

While this location was known as the Aladdin Hotel, the owners decided to create a performing arts center to replace the mildly used golf course.
