We are about halfway through our time here in the city of Las Vegas and the WNFR 2019 is in full gear. Nowhere else in the country can the rodeo community come together in one place and celebrate our western heritage and lifestyle. The fourth performance of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada has come and gone and it is only just the beginning. Cowboy Lifestyle Network is excited to be able to give you the full day in review including the Round Winners for each performance, daily entertainment, and places you need to check out. Make sure to follow us on your favorite social media platform for all the behind the scenes fun.
Today is the final day for saddle bronc, bareback and bull riding for the youngsters over at the Junior World Finals, presented by YETI. Held in the Las Vegas Convention Center Dec. 5th-14th, over 700 young contestants are competing in the same rodeo events that their professional counterparts are. The competition will heat up this year as there will be an all-around prize of a new trailer by RodeoRigs.com. You can go see the champions of tomorrow by going to www.nfrexperience.com/juniorworldfinals/ for the qualifier, schedule, and producer information. Brought to you by Cactus Ropes, Cactus Gear, Cactus Saddlery, Resistol, YETI, and so many others!

Yesterday was a special day for several reasons but this is one you shouldn’t skip over. The Golden Circle of Champions was created by the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo two years ago. They invited ten other rodeo committees to be a part of it this year and they invite ten families who have a child suffering from cancer to come to the NFR. This event was made possible with the help of several endorsees, Wrangler, Resistol, Justin Boots, and of course, the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo.
Yesterday was their luncheon where rodeo contestants are paired with a child to show them the ropes of rodeo and turn them into a cowboy or cowgirl for the afternoon. Thanks to Wrangler, Resistol, Boot Barn, Justin and so many others for their contributions!
“Our goal is to bring the much needed education and awareness, locally and nationally, to pediatric cancer and offer a ray of hope to the families that are navigating through this journey. They desperately need our help as a community, and we want to let them know we are here for them,” stated Founder, Tina Tonascia. “It is our job to tell their story about pediatric cancer, in the hopes that one day we will be able to make a difference.”
Dec. 5th-14th live at 2pm daily, the Tropicana will host the Bullfighters Only Championship. The world’s top freestyle bullfighter face off with the best bulls out there. Only one athlete can be crowned the 2019 BFO World Champion and claim his share of over $150,000 in prize money. Tickets available at troplv.com/entertainment/rodeo-week
The party doesn’t stop after the rodeo ends. The MGM Grand Gold Buckle Zone offers free live music and viewing parties every night. The Buckin’ Bash hosted by Justin Rumford also hosts a free party over at The Orleans starting at 9 p.m. But something you need to see at least once is an NFR buckle presentation. Every night you can go see the champions get their winning round buckles and then stay for the free concert at South Point Hotel.

One of our featured Cowboy Lifestyle partners is out about covering several different concerts while we are here. Make sure to check out Branded Media and Promotions for real-time updates on concerts and entertainment going on around town during Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Mitch with Branded media had the chance to cover the Riley Green concert at the Mirage last night and here’s what he had to say,
As always, the Mirage was the place to be for the best free NFR After Party. Riley Green took the stage and the Alabama native did not disappoint. His traditional country roots event impressed the legendary, Randy Travis who attended the show. – Mith Blunn
