No two words get the cowboy community buzzing quite like “Rodeo” and “Las Vegas.” But while the NFR won’t be back until December 2019, Las Vegas still has some Pro-Rodeo action up its sleeve. Throw on those boots, because the PRCA is bringing even more rodeo fun to The City of Lights. Saddle up with Cowboy Lifestyle Network as we head to the 2019 Las Vegas Days Rodeo and Helldorado Parade!

Celebrating 85 years, Las Vegas Days is proud to uphold an integral part of Las Vegas’ history. In an interview, with 840 KXNT, PRCA CEO George Taylor states,

“It’s great to see the Las Vegas Days Rodeo hit 85 years. We are happy to again welcome Las Vegas Days to the PRCA’s fold of 650 rodeos.”

With Vegasnews.com, Jonathan Jossel, Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO shares,

“Las Vegas Helldorado Days were a long-held tradition, and we are excited to welcome the rodeo back home to downtown Las Vegas this year. We are proud of our history and now with the Plaza’s Core Arena, we can pay homage to our western roots while offering an unforgettable experience for today’s residents and visitors. We appreciate the support of the Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial and look forward to working with the city of Las Vegas on creating an exciting rodeo event that brings our community together where Las Vegas got its start – downtown Las Vegas.”
