"What better way to connect music lovers with artists than by making tickets to the 8th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards available to music fans," said Gabriel Abaroa, President of The Latin Recording Academy. "After last year's overwhelming success with public ticket sales in New York, we are most pleased to again offer this unique opportunity in one of the most dynamic entertainment cities in the world. Viva the Latin GRAMMYs at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas!"

"Last year’s sold-out show from Madison Square Garden was an unqualified ratings success and demonstrated just how passionate we are about our Latin music," said Alina Falcón, Executive Vice President and Operating Manager of the Univision Television Network. "This year’s show from the city of shows, Las Vegas, will offer our loyal viewers the opportunity to be part of one of Univision’s most-watched and highly-anticipated mega-events."

“There is no better place in the world to experience live music than in Las Vegas. We are a destination built to entertain and that means that the show never stops.” said Terry Jicinsky, EVP of Marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “We look forward to working with the Latin Recording Academy and with Univision to ensure that this becomes an entertainment highlight of the year.”
