Headlining in Las Vegas
Our official host, MGM Resorts International has been terrific in helping us find the perfect venue in Las Vegas for this years Freddie Awards—the new T-Mobile Arena and here’s what all of Las Vegas is seeing tonight.
It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
On Thursday April 28th, the Freddie Awards will be held in Las Vegas and true to form—it will be spectacular. This years event will be held outdoors in the Toshiba Plaza, a two-acre park-like entertainment space adjacent to the new T-Mobile Arena located just off the Las Vegas Strip between New York-New York and Monte Carlo. This new arena by MGM Resorts International is expected to host more than 100 events annually, including: UFC, boxing, hockey, basketball and other sporting events, major headline entertainment, awards shows, family shows and special events. The Freddie Awards will be among the events it hosts during it’s grand opening in April! (we like to think that our opening act this year is The Killers, Wayne Newton and the reunion concert for Guns N’ Roses all of whom are also part of the T-Mobile Arena grand opening in April. But alas, they all play before us by days—we’re actually sandwiched between George Strait and Billy Joel concerts)
The event starts at 5 p.m. (PDT) and you will all be able to watch some of the results being announced and the festivities right here on freddieawards.com. Our sponsors and event planners are sure to make this years event something to remember and for once just might shake the notice that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
