Although Las Vegas is known as “the Entertainment Capital of the World,” Miami is the go-to place for artist trying to make it big in the Latin music industry; therefore, it makes absolute sense that the Latin Grammy Awards began taking place in the magic city instead of sin city.
Legendary artists and music executives are looking for the possibility of making Florida the home state of the awards show. As reported by several publications, Gary Nader, a member of the Latin Grammy committee, hosted a meeting at the Gary Nader Art Center, so everyone could share their thoughts on how to make this happen.

The power couple truly believes that the coastal metropolis is the perfect scenario. “Miami represents many communities, and the Latin Grammys are a great three-hour commercial that the entire world sees. We want to show this privileged city where we live,” Emilio Estefan said.
Miami-Dade’s Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava, is also betting on this idea: “It would be divine to have it in Miami,” she said. While the Latin Grammys’ CEO, Manuel Abud, said he likes the idea, but the decision is not up to him. Still, he is hopeful that they “can do it.”
