The uniquely American sport of rodeo takes places 1000's of times each year all over America, but the National Rodeo Finals at the huge Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada is where the top participants come for the last stop on the circuit, to mix the cow chips with the poker chips. The event transforms Las Vegas into the cowboy capital of the country during the first through the second weekend of December (Dec 4 - Dec 13, 2008), when over 100 of rodeo's most talented compete for the largest purse in the sport (over $4 million total). The National Rodeo Finals offers the ultimate in a sport that is filled with danger, excitement, extraordinary skill, and the most rugged of individuals. There is also plenty of entertainment in town, including more than the normal top-name country entertainers, during this time. Of course, there's the usual entertainment and gambling for which Las Vegas is famous.
