Miss Rodeo America Pageant


It all kicks off at the Orleans Areana with the Miss Rodeo America Pageant (Nov. 28 - Dec. 4).

It'll be a showdown like no other as young women try to lasso the title of Miss Rodeo. Throughout the weeklong competition, contestants will give speeches and interviews, participate in fashion shows, and square off in riding contests hoping to display their intelligence, self-confidence, beauty, and knowledge of the western lifestyle.

Downtown Hoedowns

If you like to kick up your heels, don't miss the Downtown Hoedown Dec. 2 at Fremont Street Experience. Look for lots of foot-stompin' music and great fun.

Country Christmas Western Gift Expo

The best of the west comes to the Strip for 10 days in December at the Sands Expo Center (Dec. 3-12), with lots of fun and excitement for everyone. You'll find a Cowboy Christmas Gift Show every day from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Admission is free.

Since 1986, this western-themed gift extravaganza has showcased hundreds of the genre's top craftsmen, jewelers, and Western-wear dealers from around the globe. The Gift Show has 400 exhibitors, selling everything from boots, buckles, and spurs, to custom jewelry, authentic arts and crafts, and a large selection of officially-licensed PRCA/WNFR merchandise. If it's Western, you'll find it here.

Come Along for the Ride

This year's 2004 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo marks the 20th anniversary of the granddaddy of all rodeos moving to Las Vegas, and organizers are promising to make this year's event unforgettable.

From bareback riding to bull riding, from tie-down roping to barrel racing, NFR is one of the city's most thrilling events!

Cowboy Wisdom

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in.

There's two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.

If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.

Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Like a good cowboy, a good hat just gets better as it gets older.

It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.
