National Finals Rodeo Tickets Continued
Since 1985 the NFR has been held in Las Vegas. Dallas, Texas hosted the very first NFR in 1959, and hosted the next three. In 1963 the event made a one-year stop in Los Angeles, California. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma then hosted the rodeo from 1964 to 1984. Oklahoma City has bid to return the NFR to Oklahoma, but is always outbid by the deep pockets of Las Vegas.
In each event, the world championship is awarded at the end of the NFR to the cowboy or cowgirl who earns the most money in his or her event for the year. An "all-around cowboy" championship is also awarded at the end of the NFR to the highest-earning cowboy who has regularly competed in more than one event during the year. Because of the large amount of money awarded during the NFR, the leader in an event going into the NFR is frequently dethroned at its end.
Since this event is extremely popular, it sells out all seats for all of the events. Many casinos carry the events live in their sports books or host special parties to accommodate all of the fans in town who can not get tickets for the events. Most of the major hotels and casinos book special entertainment into their showrooms with a country theme offering many of the regular shows an extended break.
