If you are interested in National Finals Rodeo 2018, then you should know the following think about Las Vegas, Nevada, US:
1. Everything will be open. I mean everything-shops, casinos, bars, restaurants, buffets, attractions. You can have and enjoy anything you can at that time in Las Vegas. It’s like a freedom.
2. Most bars and restaurants will offer drink specials and rodeo-themed menus. All Las Vegas buffets also offer you a lucky chance to experience new cowboy themed items nightly, all featuring good ol' homemade BBQ.
3. If money is not an issue, here is a list of highly urged restaurants you might consider calling ahead of time to make a stipulation.
4. This is a period you have to make dinner reservations. If you are going to any restaurant during the Wrangler NFR week either book ahead of time or be prepared to wait in line for a very long time. It’s quite impossible to have a restaurant food easily.
With that said, if Las Vegas is calling you this coming Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR), here are a few things you might want to put on your doing list.
