The 16^th annual Latin Grammys will be broadcast live on the Univision Network Nov. 19 from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, marking the show's eighth turn in Vegas and its second at the MGM Grand Garden Arena since the show first took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in 2000.

The Latin Grammy Street Parties kick off Oct. 18 in Los Angeles and will be followed by Dallas (Oct. 25) and Miami (Nov. 8).
