It’s full steam ahead for the 2022 NFL Draft in Las Vegas at the Bellagio Fountains and High Roller on the Strip April 28-30.

Clark County Commissioners voiced their support for the NFL Draft event, which was previously scheduled for April 2020 but postponed because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The draft picks will walk the red carpet stage on a platform in the Bellagio Fountains on the Strip with the main stage near the High Roller observation wheel (pictured below).

 

 

The Draft Experience at the Caesars Forum is scheduled all three days from April 28-30. The plan for April supposedly reduces traffic impacts from the 2020 plan.

The NFL, which once frowned on Las Vegas because of its gambling industry, loves the Las Vegas market now. It’s staging the Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium Sunday.
