NFR 2024

Are you a fan of rodeo? If so, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is preparing a ten-day spectacle for you! Join the crowd in Las Vegas!

The NFR event first took place in Dallas, Texas, in 1959. In the 1960s, it shifted to Oklahoma City, and finally, in 1985, it moved to its current home in Las Vegas. This rodeo show attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. In 2015, the event gathered over 170,000 people at the Thomas & Mack Center, in Las Vegas!

Rodeo athletes travel the country all year, making as much money as possible at PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) sanctioned rodeos. The top 15 money earners get to go to the NFR!

The NFR offers several different events that are broadcast on TV. These include saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding.

Every year, it starts on a Thursday and ends on a Saturday. Pack your bags and plan your trip to Las Vegas from December 5 to December 14!
