Popular event bigger than ever with family-friendly festival, carnival games
The Helldorado Days Rodeo returns to downtown Las Vegas, Friday, Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8 at the CORE Arena at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. This year, the event will be bigger than ever before with the addition of a family-friendly festival before the rodeo excitement begins each night. The festival will include a petting zoo, a mechanical bull, carnival rides and games, line dancing, and more.
The Helldorado Days Rodeo is fully sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association. The rodeo will feature bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, breakaway, and bareback riding, with prize purses totaling $40,000.
The Helldorado Days Rodeo also features related western-themed events, like mutton bustin (a sheep riding competition for future cowboys and cowgirls who are 4-10 years old and under 60 pounds), a Whiskerino contest, and a historical exhibit area. The winning artwork of a children’s coloring contest will also be on display the first night.
After parties featuring country music acts will be held at the Sand Dollar Downtown after the rodeo concludes.
General admission tickets for the Helldorado Rodeo are now on sale online for $10 per person (plus taxes). VIP tickets for $30 each (plus taxes) offer guaranteed seating as well as access to an exclusive bar and restrooms.
Sponsored by the Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial and the Plaza Hotel & Casino, the mission of the Helldorado Days Rodeo is to bring the community together to celebrate the spirit of Old Las Vegas, including those who shaped the city’s history and those who are working to preserve the western lifestyle while looking toward the future.
