The awards show is at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and starts at 5:00pm PT (local time). Shania also has a "Still The One" show that night at 7:30pm PT. So I bet she'll do the same thing she did for the Billboard Music Awards back in May and present the first award of the night. Then she'll head back to The Colosseum and get ready for her show.
