The 2020 NFL Draft will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, with festivities taking place from April 23 to April 25.
The NFL’s decision to host in Las Vegas comes as the Raiders are set to relocate there for the 2020 season, at Allegiant Stadium.
However, the draft is not being held at the Raiders new stadium, but rather on the water of the famous Bellagio fountains. Draft prospects will be transported via boat to the main stage during the ceremony.
