We'll be in Las Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo this Dec. 12-14! That's right! We'll be camped out at the Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel for A Taste of the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. We're bringing Waddie Mitchell, Dave Stamey, Trinity Seely, and a whole bunch more from the Elko stage—including gearmaking instructors Doug Groves and Mark Barcus, who will be braiding rawhide, stamping leather, and imparting their cowboy skills and wisdom for workshop attendees and auditors.

With 10 full shows of poetry and music in the Ahern Live Showroom on Friday and Saturday, there will be plenty of fun and camaraderie with the Gathering family. We hope you'll also want to check out the Ahern's Western Gift Show during the day and NFR Watch Party every night.

Heck, now that we think of it, why not just bunk with us at the Ahern during the rodeo? It's a non-smoking, non-gaming hotel just steps away from the Las Vegas Strip. This event is going to be like a Las Vegas pre-party for our big show in Elko come January, so bring your friends to join us, too. We can't wait to see everyone in Las Vegas AND THEN Elko!
