Caesars Palace, Las Vegas – venue of the OTI Festival 1990.

For the second consecutive year, the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) designated Univision as the host broadcaster for the 19th edition of the OTI Festival. The broadcaster staged the event in Las Vegas. The venue selected was the Circus Maximus, which was the main entertainment venue at the Caesars Palace. Opened in 1966, it was in operation until 2000, when it was demolished and replaced by The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Participants

Broadcasters from twenty-one countries participated in this edition of the OTI festival. The OTI members, public or private broadcasters from Spain, Portugal, and nineteen Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries of Ibero-America signed up for the festival. From the countries that participated in the previous edition, Aruba and Bolivia did not return, while the Netherlands Antilles returned.

Some of the participating broadcasters, such as those representing Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and the United States, selected their entries through their regular national televised competitions. Other broadcasters decided to select their entry internally.

Six performing artists had represented the same country previously: Osvaldo Díaz had represented Chile in 1975, Rolando Percy had represented Paraguay in 1978, Mario Echeverría had represented Uruguay in 1983, Rocky Belmonte [es] had represented Peru in 1988, Walter Artiga had represented El Salvador in 1988, and Katia Cardenal had represented Nicaragua in 1989 along Salvador Cardenal.
