After two years disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, things are back to normal tonight.

It’s a far cry from the bizarre 2020 edition, broadcast live from Roger Goodell’s basement and living rooms around the US.

Where will the NFL Draft be held?

Two years after it was originally due to be held here, Las Vegas will host the 2022 Draft.

Things will take place right in the heart of the famous Strip, at the Linq Promenade.

Expect a glitzy show in Nevada as the city celebrates holding the draft for the very first time.

When a player is selected, they will walk a lengthy red carpet situated in front of a man-made lake beside the Bellagio and its famous fountains.

Players will then be transported to a ‘Draft Theater’, located behind the High Roller ferris wheel on The Linq Promenade.

In 2020, there was even more glamour planned with players set to take a boat between the two venues.

But that has been scrapped in favor of a walkway, with large parts of Las Vegas Boulevard closed to traffic this week.

Next year, Kansas City will host the draft before Detroit takes the reigns in 2024.
