The Park Theater has gone through a lot of different name changes since Park MGM bought the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in 2015. The Monte Carlo was then rebranded as Park MGM.

It was built on the site of the old Dunes Casino golf course that was attached as an amenity to the Monte Carlo Resort.

During construction in 2015, it was called the MGM Resorts Theater, however, it is still sometimes confused with the smaller Lance Burton Theater that was located inside the old Monte Carlo Resort and Casino. As it was on the site of the former Monte Carlo Resort, it was and still is sometimes called the MCR Theater.

Call It The Dolby Live Theater At Park MGM

In 2016, the new venue was officially christened, the Park Theater. However, in October 2021, MGM Resorts made a deal with Dolby to change the Park name to Dolby Live after the theater was rewired with new Dolby Atmos sound technology.

As of 2022, the official name for the venue is now the Dolby Live Theater At Park MGM.

Dolby is a pioneer when it comes to enriching the fidelity of live sound production. The company first introduced their technology in cinemas, using several speakers to enhance the perception of sound spatialization.

Dolby used its Atmos technology to completely transform the venue at Park MGM to create one of the world’s most technologically advanced sound installations.

What Is The Capacity Of The Dolby Live Theater (Park Theater)?

The Park Theater/Dolby Live venue is impressive and designed to augment sound at every level of seating. The very back row is just 145 feet from the stage to maximize the Dolby live experience of surround sound.

The entire venue is 150,000 square feet with a 135’x40′ stage that is crowned with a 7,500 square foot proscenium arch. The theater was designed to ensure even the back row provided optimal seating.

The stage is also outfitted with an 80’x40′ 4K-LED screen allowing for many creative possibilities for performers, live close-up recordings of performances, and also facilitating the taping of awards shows.
