Latin Grammy Ceremony to Fill MGM Grand Arena Nov. 12
Rehearsals and a talent gift lounge run for three days beforehand, with Univision airing the ceremony that evening.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Latin
Las Vegas music fans and local businesses will see the Latin Grammy Awards return to town when the ceremony takes place Nov. 12 at MGM Grand Garden Arena. The Official Talent Gift Lounge will operate during three days of rehearsals with seven participating brands.
Why it matters
The Latin Grammy Awards bring a week of visiting artists, presenters and production crews to the valley, and the arena and resort corridor will be busy with rehearsal and ceremony logistics. The Latin Recording Academy has also expanded the performance roster, which signals a larger televised show than the lounge alone suggests.
The lounge runs for three days of rehearsals before the Nov. 12 ceremony and features seven participating brands. This is the 27th edition of the awards, and the source does not yet report attendance or the full performer list.
