I can confirm the upcoming season will be filmed in a tent behind ballys. The auditions may also be held there.
This is some sort of permanent tent that will be rented out as a soundstage to other production companies filming things in Vegas.

So the open auditions will partially overlap the taping season. I don't know whether open or studio auditions give you a better chance to get selected, but watching a taping is more fun!

The only advantage of one over another is an earlier audition date gets you in the pool sooner.
The people at the auditions are not the people who decide if you're on the show.

But they ARE the primary people who decide who WON'T be on the show.

The date has changed to June 30, 2017. Tickets are still not available.
Audience tickets are now available for June 30 (may be a dress rehearsal, but you can still audition), July 5-7, July 10-13, July 18-20, July 24-28, August 1-4, and August 8-11. More to follow.

That implies that calls are likely to start going out approximately next week.

That mean only Aug. 4 overlaps with TCONA.
Considering how rare weekend tapings are, Friday is the only possible day to have such overlap, which happened last year as well.

I went to the Sunday taping after TCONA wrapped-up last year.

I just looked at the ticket page...they are down to a 10% discount at Bally's for contestants and audience members. I don't remember if audience members got the discount last year, but contestants got 20%.

August 14-18 and August 21-22 have been added. I think that's the whole season.

Last season they did 5 per day, with three in the afternoon session and 2 in the evening session. I don't remember the length of the break between afternoon and evening tapings.

I would love to be there. We spent 5 days next door at Paris in May. That would make a LV trip even more memorable.

Come back in August for TCONA and you can do that and audition too.

The Millionaire website says the show is taping NOW at the new Caesars Entertainment Studios behind Bally's. Here's what it looks like:
