Broadcast: Live, per the official MGM Grand listing
Arrive early for a 5:00 PM awards show start. Doors at 4:00 PM give time for entry and seating, but awards shows draw a large red-carpet and industry crowd, so the area around MGM Grand Garden Arena will be busy well before showtime. Keep your ticket confirmation ready and allow extra time for security screening.
The venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena
MGM Grand Garden Arena is located inside MGM Grand Hotel & Casino at 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, on the south-central Strip. The arena is one of Las Vegas’s best-known large venues, hosting major awards shows, concerts and championship fights, and it seats thousands for a televised ceremony. Its setting inside MGM Grand means restaurants, lounges and the casino floor are close by, which is useful for a pre-show dinner or a post-show celebration.
For a televised awards show, seating and sightlines matter more than usual: performances are staged for both the live audience and the broadcast, so check the seating map on the official ticket listing before you buy. Accessible seating is available through official ticket channels, and venue staff can help with step-free routes if you contact them in advance.
Tickets
Tickets for the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on November 12, 2026, are available through MGM Grand’s official entertainment pages, which link to the official ticket seller. Buy through those official channels rather than through third-party resale listings when you can, so your ticket is valid and you receive any show updates. The official MGM Grand listing does not publish a fixed starting price for this date, so check the live ticket page for current prices and availability before you decide.
When you buy, double-check the date, venue and start time on your confirmation: Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM PT at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Save the confirmation email and add the event to your calendar with the venue address.
Getting to MGM Grand
MGM Grand is located at 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, on the east side of the Strip near Tropicana Avenue. If you are driving, use the MGM Grand parking garage and allow extra time for Strip traffic on an awards-show night. Rideshare and taxi drop-off areas are signposted at the resort, and they are usually the simplest option if you are staying elsewhere on the Strip.
From other Strip hotels, walking along Las Vegas Boulevard is often practical if you are nearby, and the Las Vegas Monorail serves the MGM Grand station, which connects the resort to the center and north Strip. Give yourself at least 30 to 45 minutes from your hotel room to your seat, and more if you plan to dine at MGM Grand before the 5:00 PM start.
Planning your night
November 12 is a standout night in a crowded Las Vegas week, with the Latin Grammy Awards headlining the Strip’s awards calendar. If you are traveling for the ceremony, book your hotel and dinner reservations early, and keep the evening itself simple: an early dinner at MGM Grand, the 5:00 PM ceremony at MGM Grand Garden Arena, and a relaxed night afterward on the resort’s casino floor or at a nearby lounge. Because the show is broadcast live, it will run to a television schedule, so plan for a full evening rather than a short concert set.
For Latin music fans, this is a rare chance to see a large group of the genre’s biggest names on one Las Vegas stage in a single night, hosted by a presenter who has become closely associated with the ceremony. Whether you follow the awards race or you are simply looking for a major live event during a Las Vegas trip, the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on November 12 is one of the week’s must-see dates.
