Since 1934, residents and visitors in Las Vegas have been enjoying Helldorado Days, a celebration of western culture that features lots of rodeo action for the entire family. In 2018, Helldorado Days will take place from May 4 to May 6; this is an official stop of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit, which means that rodeo fans will get to see the most rugged and skilled riders in the world for as little as $10.
The Last Cowboy Standing event of PBR Las Vegas is a preview of the grand PBR finale, which will return to this exciting city later this year for the grand prize of a million dollars plus the honor of earning the title of best professional bull rider in the world. At this particular PBR Las Vegas rodeo, 40 cowboys will compete for a $100,000 prize plus the chance to continue riding at various PBR events in 2018.
