Miss USA 2024 will be the 73rd Miss USA pageant, to be held at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California on August 4, 2024. [2] It will be televised on The CW for the second consecutive year. [1]
Noelia Voigt of Utah will crown her successor at the end of the event. The winner will represent the United States at Miss Universe 2024 to be held in Mexico.
On July 14, 2022, it was reported that the competition would be held in Reno, Nevada, with the city securing a three-year deal to host the pageant from 2022 to 2024 under the ownership of then-national director and Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart. [3] The event was originally to take place at Grand Sierra Resort in Reno; this would be the fourth time that the pageant is held in Reno and the third consecutive year holding the pageant in the city following Miss USA 2019, 2022 and 2023.
On February 10, 2024, it was announced that Miss USA 2024 would take place at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California, scheduled to be held on August 4, 2024. This will be the first time since 2007 returning to its original home in California. [4]
Starting with this edition of the pageant, the Miss Universe Organization announced that it would allow women who are 28 years old and over to participate. Previous editions had between the ages from above 18 and below 28 years of age. [5]
Selection of delegates at state pageants was supposed to begin in August 2023; however, after the appointment of president and CEO Laylah Rose, the state pageants were postponed indefinitely. The state pageants were then rescheduled in March 2024. The first state pageant was Tennessee, held on March 9, 2024, and the last state pageant will be Florida, scheduled to be held on July 7, 2024. [6] The state pageant season in previous years was much longer, around five to seven months.
As of April 30, 2024, the following 11 titleholders have been crowned.
