Matt and I are home from an unforgettable 20th wedding anniversary celebration in Las Vegas where we attended the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). We’ve only been to Vegas twice, both times for the NFR. We’re told that’s the only time of year Vegas looks and feels like Memphis, Tennessee, with all the country singers and cowboys overtaking the city.
Cowboy hats, boots, gaudy rodeo jewelry, horses, trucks, trailers, and good ole Southern values abound in Vegas during the NFR. Hotels and casinos are family oriented, and there’s thousands of vendors selling cowboy gear.
Except for one exceptional pair of boots you’d never find on the ranch, everything else feels like home.
We loved watching the NFR in the Hollywood Theater at the MGM via the live feed. It was a GREAT experience. In fact, lots of people were actually selling their tickets to the NFR so they could watch it in this theater because the view was much better. And free.
Trevor Brazile, 16-time world champion of rodeo, was hosted by our hotel, so they had his buckles and saddles on display.
And Trevor posed for photos and autographs several times.
We had a lovely time, and now it’s back to reality on the ranch. We missed our kiddos greatly, but we also realize how important it is for us to have time as a couple to rest and rejuvenate. Thank you, Jesus, for this awesome trip!!!
