Initially Fox Sports World transmitted the tournament live but in recent years they broadcast recorded coverage in the United States.

From 2007 to 2009, the tournament remained straight knockout but moved back to a legs only format throughout.

Phil Taylor won the title five times out of the eight years the event was staged.

Peter Manley, John Part and Raymond van Barneveld were the only other winners of the event.

The Las Vegas Desert Classic was broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports from the first to the last tournament.
