The people who attend the rodeo are vey polite and civil; unlike other venues like concerts or basketball games. But tickets are hard to come by and don't do the scramble seating where you can sit in an unused seat. That is a bad deal.

The rodeo was great fun, and tickets affordable, compared to other shows to see in Vegas! If you like rodeo at all, you won't be disappointed. The cowboys did a great job and there's several huge screens overhead so you don't miss a thing, no matter where your seat is. It's held in the South Point Hotel, which is a... More

We go to rodeos in New Zealand but this was fantastic, Las Vegas really knows how to put on a good show and handle big queues. I particularly enjoyed my pink lemonade and corn on the cob!! We didn't book tickets in advance as thought we'd get cheaper ones, but you don't. My advice would be to book well in... More

This Dec 2012 was my first NFR. Let’s start with ordering tickets from Thomas Mack directly. I got a single seat in a good section – 209 at a really good price. It was high up (almost to the top) but since everyone kept saying there was not a bad seat in the house I went ahead and bought it.... More

Once you have been there in person it is not the same watching it on TV. I encourage everyone to attend at least one night if possible. it was great and i would love to do it again.

If you want to see the best of the best in rodeo action you must get to the NFR. It is so exciting and so much fun. Almost all the seats are good because it is a very small venue. The excitement of the crowd just lights the place up. It's loud and it's bright. There are decent food options... More

Just Awesome. Ran through all the events like a well oiled machine! Made this Texan "Texan Proud." What a production of athletic ability, courage, strength and pride. If you ever get a chance to visit, You won't be disappointed. So much better than watching it on TV.

If you like the rodeo, you can't miss this action! It comes every year the first week of December. Buy your tickets months in advance as stuff sells out of the good seats.
