Latin Grammys Set to Make Grand Return to Las Vegas
The much-anticipated Latin Grammys will be hosted in Las Vegas once again, as announced by the Latin Recording Academy on Tuesday. Scheduled for November 13, the event will take place at the iconic MGM Grand Garden Arena, marking the 15th occasion this celebrated awards show has graced Sin City, and the first return since 2022.
A Brief History of the Latin Grammys
Since the inaugural awards ceremony in 2000, the Latin Grammys have traversed various locations. The majority of the ceremonies have been held in Las Vegas, primarily at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and the Michelob Ultra Arena. After an 11-year period in Las Vegas, the awards ventured to Miami in 2020. However, they returned to Las Vegas for 2021 and 2022. In a historic move, 2023 saw the awards held in Spain, making it the first time the event occurred outside of the United States, before reverting back to Miami last year.
Celebrating Latin Music in Las Vegas
Manuel Abud, the CEO of the Latin Recording Academy, expressed enthusiasm in a recent statement: “We are proud to once again bring the passion and creativity of Latin music to Las Vegas. The city has welcomed the Latin Grammys over the years, and we look forward to another great Latin Grammy Week celebrating Latin music and its creators.”
