The world series of rodeo has been around since 1959. Thousands of the best of cowboys have had the honor to compete in the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in a bid to become the undisputed champion of one of the event’s seven divisions. The NFR divisions are: bareback riding, barrel racing, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping and time-down roping. The National Finals Rodeo is put on each year by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), who invites the top fifteen money-earners in the league to Vegas. The cowboys are put through 10 rounds of competition over 10 days, with the top eight earning substantial prize money. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for National Finals Rodeo tickets.

Combined with their year-to-date bounties, the division champions are determined by their overall gross. This is the richest rodeo on earth with a purse expected to be close to $6 million dollars! Each round pays the top 6 places from $17k to $3k, plus the overall winner gets a fancy solid gold belt buckle. In 1984, the business leaders of Las Vegas offered $800,000 more in prize money than their OKC counterparts, an offer the PRCA couldn’t refuse.
