Yeehaw, Las Vegas! The Helldorado Days Rodeo is gearing up to bring cowboy boots and rodeo roots back to the heart of downtown. This weekend, Friday and Saturday, the CORE Arena at the Plaza Hotel & Casino will transform into a Western wonderland, complete with bull riders, barrel racers, and a vibrant display of neon that could only belong to Vegas.
As noted by News3LV, the annual extravaganza, formerly known as the Las Vegas Days Rodeo, kicks off at 5:30 p.m. each evening, offering not just an athletic spectacle, but themed tributes each night. Friday’s “The Future is Bright!” centers around kiddos with dreams bigger than their hats, while Saturday salutes our nation’s military with a wash of red, white, and blue. And if you had hopes to snag one of those free general admission tickets, tough luck—they’re now as gone as a tumbleweed in a twister, but a handful of $20 VIP tickets linger for the taking.
The rodeo isn’t just for the seasoned pros; it’s a family affair with mutton busting for the up-and-coming rodeo stars and a Whiskerino contest that might just be the envy of any facial hair aficionado. There’s also a historical exhibit for those looking to dive into the past without the dirt in their boots. The event pays homage to Vegas’ Wild West origins, and according to the Plaza Hotel & Casino website, it’s all stapled in legitimacy with sanctioning from the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.
The stakes are high and so are the prize purses, boasting a total of $40,000. Just imagine saddling up for team roping, break-away, or bareback riding with more than just pride on the line. And yes, for those wanting a cushioned seat as they witness these gritty contests, the $20 VIP ticket gets you into those coveted grandstands—and, fast track access to the information booth at Core Arena. Just don’t forget to RSVP, because like any good Vegas show, it promises to be packed.
