Dear Wrangler NFR Fans, On behalf of Las Vegas Events and the PRCA, it is my pleasure to again welcome you to Las Vegas for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The success of the event is a testament to your continued support and dedication to the world’s richest and most prestigious rodeo. For rodeo fans, contestants and those within the industry, our goal is to show you “Pure Rodeo/Pure Vegas.” Each year we strive to provide you with the ultimate NFR Experience during your stay in Las Vegas. This year is no different. Over the years, the NFR Experience has extended throughout the city. Attendees can enjoy an immersive, ten-day, 24/7 Western lifestyle extravaganza taking place up and down the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown. This experience will continue to grow each year, reinforced by our hotel partners and sponsors. In this guide, you will find comprehensive schedules for Wrangler NFR 9-5, Wrangler NFR After Dark and Entertainment Around Town. You will also find maps of the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown to assist you in getting around and discovering what has become known as the NFR Experience. When you attend the Wrangler NFR at the Thomas & Mack Center, we invite you to check out the ProRodeo Zone, live music in Cowboy Corral and the return of The ‘Shoe, a fully-themed Western hospitality and interactive space that also features a Strip-view pavilion and an entry from the northwest end of the arena. During the day, we also invite you to explore Cowboy Christmas, located inside the South Halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center. In addition to the ultimate shopping experience, the area also includes live entertainment, autograph sessions, a rodeo arena, saloon, interactive booths, rodeo exhibits, the NFR Social Lounge and more. At Cowboy Christmas, It’s All Here! In addition, the Junior NFR presented by YETI will be held inside the Wrangler Rodeo Arena at Cowboy Christmas and will run for ten consecutive days. Youth contestants will compete for titles in eight events, including bull riding, team roping, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, breakaway, saddle bronc riding and bareback riding. While the greatest rodeo competitors in the world chase the coveted gold buckle, we invite you to share in the Western heritage and experience everything that Las Vegas and the Wrangler NFR has to offer.
Sincerely,
Pat Christenson President, Las Vegas Events

WELCOME Howdy Rodeo Fans, We would like to welcome you to the 2018 Cowboy Christmas, where we are celebrating our 33rd year as the official gift show of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Every year we pride ourselves in delivering the best experience for our rodeo fans and guests. At Cowboy Christmas you will find more than 440,000 square feet of show floor with more than 350 exhibitors from across the United States, all of which means more variety for you! While there are other trade shows in town, we believe we truly give you a one-of-a-kind cowboy experience. Here at Cowboy Christmas you can watch the future of rodeo compete for the coveted Gold Buckle at the Junior NFR presented by YETI, showcased in the Wrangler Rodeo Arena. The Junior NFR is now in its third year running and grows by leaps and bounds each year. These cowboys and cowgirls are 19 years old and younger and compete in similar events like the pros at the Wrangler NFR at the Thomas & Mack Center. These events, to include bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, breakaway, team roping, tie-down roping and barrel racing, are designed to thrill fans and participants alike. Come see the future of rodeo! Ain’t your first rodeo? Well, here at Cowboy Christmas we continue to bring new and exciting experiences, and this year is no different. Wrangler Rodeo Arena coupled with RMEF’s Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo will take over the second floor of the South Hall throughout the duration of Cowboy Christmas for the fourth consecutive year. Take a stroll down the Junior NFR BLVD. presented by 12 Gauge Ranch where it will not only showcase sponsors of the Junior NFR but this year you will find NFR Extra, a live studio broadcasting daily from 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. So, stop by and listen to live interviews and insights from the rodeo industry. Speaking of Legends, this year our Rodeo Live Stage presented by RODEOHOUSTON®, is bidding tribute to a country artist legend, Daryl Singletary, with Daryle Singletary’s Keepin’ It Country with host Andy Griggs. And don’t forget about the other shows we have on the stage, such as Outside the Barrel with Flint Rasmussen and Rodeo Recess hosted by Andy Seiler. Looking for even more of the NFR Experience? Make sure you stomp your boots down Rodeo way, the Wrangler Rodeo Arena, NFR Social Lounge, Great Wall of Rodeo presented by Calgary Stampede and so much more! For more information, a full schedule of events can be found in this guide. Thank you for joining us this year and please enjoy Cowboy Christmas – It’s All Here!
