Miss Universe 2012 is the 61st Miss Universe pageant, and was held on December 19, 2012, at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.[2] Leila Lopes from Angola crowned her successor Olivia Culpo from USA at the end of this event. 89 countries and territories participated in this year's pageant and it was broadcasted live in participant countries and territories by NBC, Telemundo & the international broadcasters.
Host City
Miss Universe had been struggling to find a venue for this year’s pageant. For the first time in history, in March, 2012, it was announced that the pageant would be moved to December. This was because the broadcaster NBC could not broadcast the pageant at the same time as the 2012 Summer Olympics and the United States Presidential Election.
It was rumored that Guadalajara, Mexico and Sun City, South Africa were to host the competition. But, in August, 2012, the Dominican government received a proposal from the Miss Universe Organization to host the international competition on December 11th. The Dominican Republic had once hosted the Miss Universe contest in 1977. The Miss Universe Organization considered Punta Cana to be the official venue, at the Hard Rock Resort & Casino. However, The Dominican government said that it could not provide any kind of financial assistance to the pageant.
Finally, in September, 2012, it had been confirmed by the Miss Universe Organization that the 2012 Miss Universe pageant would take place at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 19th. It was the fourth time the Miss Universe pageant was held in Las Vegas, the other three times being in 1991, 1996 and 2010.[3]
