In pure Las Vegas fashion, the NFL Draft will go above and beyond any previous draft ceremony.
According to Arash Markazi of the L.A. Times, the stage of the draft will be on the water at the Fountains of Bellagio.
The NFL announced on Tuesday that the Draft comes to Las Vegas as the Raiders prepare for their first season in the city and at Allegiant Stadium. The celebration — at the NFL Draft Red Carpet, NFL Draft Main Stage and NFL Draft Experience — will include free immersive activities and live entertainment and performances.
The 85th NFL Draft will host various free events at iconic Las Vegas locations on April 23-25. All three days of the NFL Draft will be broadcast on NFL Network, ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ABC — including two nights of primetime coverage on Thursday and Friday.
