Las Vegas Travel Forum

Hi,
Can anyone tell me when there are any rodeos in vegas or surrounding areas.
Planning a trip from Australia for three and abit weeks stay in the states.
Will plan our trip around any rodeos being held, would like to come over May/June 2010. I know it is a way of but have been twice before and didnt plan our trips very well, any dates would be helpful. Have to see at least one on our trip, you guys do everything much bigger and better, even your little town events are bigger then our major events in some cases. Flexible with dates, thanks.

Hi.. Las Vegas is not where you would usually go to for Rodeos but it looks like the World Series of Rodeo (National Finals Rodeo)aka Super Bowl of Rodeo is held in Las Vegas but only in December! Then the Nevada Gay Rodeo is in September. The only one that I know happening around the time frame that you wanted is the Reno Rodeo sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assoc. But that is held north of Las Vegas in Reno, Nevada. This year, it's being held June 18th-27th. It's actually a short hop from Las Vegas to Reno via regional airlines like Southwest Airlines, US Airways, Alaska, etc or you can drive between the 2 cities and it will take you about 8-10 hours. They also have casinos in Reno which boasts that it's America's biggest little city. Also in Mid-May there's the Redding Rodeo in Redding, CA which is Northeast of SF, about 4 hours drive away. Hope that helps you!

Hey keep in touch, I may know more as the year progreses. They go from Dallas to Las Vegas.

Thanks for your help, Reno looks like a good idea, will keep looking and planning.
