NFR in Las Vegas: The world’s premiere rodeo

Who is counting down to the best time in rodeo? If you are like me, you are ready for the Super Bowl of Rodeos! The one and only National Finals Rodeo or NFR!

We are 20 Days away from the most elite time of Rodeo, the NFR!

The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) is the world’s premiere rodeo event, and it’s held in Las Vegas, Nevada every December. The NFR features the top 15 contestants in each of seven rodeo events: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding.

The NFR is a ten-day event, and it’s one of the most popular sporting events in the world. In addition to the rodeo competition, the NFR also features a variety of other events and activities, including concerts, parties, and shopping.

If you’re planning on attending the NFR, there are a few things you need to know. First, tickets sell out quickly, so it’s important to purchase them in advance. Second, the NFR is held at the Thomas & Mack Center, which is located on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Thomas & Mack Center is a large arena, so it’s important to arrive early to find a seat.

Once you’re at the NFR, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The rodeo competition is exciting, and the other events and activities are a lot of fun. Here are a few tips for making the most of your NFR experience:

• Arrive early to find a seat. The Thomas & Mack Center is a large arena, and it can be difficult to find a seat if you arrive late.
• Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, so it’s important to wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
• Bring a camera. You’ll want to capture all the memories of your NFR experience.
• Drink plenty of water. It’s important to stay hydrated, I know Vegas is overwhelming with their free alcohol, but we can be responsible and drink some water too.
• Have fun! The NFR is a great event for the whole family, so relax and enjoy yourself.

In addition to the rodeo competition, there are a variety of other events and activities happening during the NFR. Here are a few of the most popular:
