Have you ever heard of Billy Wall? How about Jess Davis? I see a nod or two, but for the rest of you these are two are in the top 10 earners in the Bareback Riding division of the ProRodeo! But to me, these two have my vote simply because they are hometown boys from the state of Utah. If you like all things ‘Rodeo’, Roping, Riding and Racing–then you are going to want to find yourself some National Final Rodeo tickets. It’s the “Super Bowl” of rodeo. It’s a yearly event held in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of UNLV–this also happens to be located just off the strip and next to the airport–making it very convenient for everyone.

Being from the West, I’ve had many opportunities to attend the Rodeo and honestly I love to watch the Bull Riders. This is the one time a bull is involved that I’m actually not voting for the bull. The Chef however, is from the Mid-west, and I’m not sure he’s ever been to the Rodeo.

I’m thinking I can bring him over to the “dark” side by reminding him that the very best thing that goes along with the Rodeo…BEEF! The upcoming National Finals in Vegas offer so much more than just amazing rodeo. You get the sights, sounds, winnings and tastes of Las Vegas–and that is the best part. My thought is this–we will let the Chef gamble during the day, hit the rodeo, stop in for some fabulous Vegas cuisine and then hit the nightlife!

Does that not sound like the perfect getaway? Plus, December in Las Vegas is a heck of a lot warmer than December in Chicago! If we are lucky enough to get tickets to the event–I will have to let you know just what we find in the rodeo and “Beef” departments!!
