Latin Grammys: Award Show Will Take Place in Las Vegas on November 20
The Latin Grammys will be making their way back to Las Vegas.
The award show will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Nov. 20, and it will air on Univision, according to Billboard.
The 15th edition of the award show will be the first time it is produced from the MGM Grand. The Latin Grammys have been in Las Vegas six years, but it was previously held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Nominees will be announced on Sept. 24. Brazilian and Mexican artists have been the biggest winners of awards in the show's history.
"For the past 14 years we have showcased some of the greatest talent in Latin music, and now, entering our 15th anniversary celebration, we are delighted to commemorate this new milestone with more amazing musical segments," said Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President and CEO of the Latin Recording Academy. "We are also pleased to once again work with the outstanding teams at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and our partners at MGM Resorts and Univision, who continue to collaborate with us to provide a memorable experience for not only attending guests, sponsors and members, but for music fans across the globe."
The first show, which took place in Los Angeles, aired on CBS in 2000, but it struggled to appeal to audiences.
When it moved to Univision in 2005, the ratings continued to increase each year.
"Las Vegas is excited to welcome back the Latin Grammy Awards for the seventh year," said Cathy Tull, the senior vice president of marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "As the entertainment capital of the world, there's no better place to hold such a star-studded event honoring the best performers in the Latin music industry."
There's no word yet on who will be hosting the event.
