 Cowboy
Town
Who
doesn’t love cowboys? Every year, Las Vegas gets into a frenzy,
hosting these men (and women) who are passionate about “the
fastest growing sport in the country,” professional bull riding.
The Professional
Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) was created in 1992 when a group of 20 visionary
bull riders broke away from the traditional rodeo scene seeking
mainstream attention for the sport of professional bull riding.
Each rider invested a hard-earned $1,000, a few of them borrowing
from family and friends, to start the PBR.
More than 1,200
bull riders from all over the world hold PBR memberships. They compete
in more than 300 bull riding events per year, with the ultimate
goal being to qualify for the prestigious PBR World Finals in Las
Vegas.
Throughout the
years, the PBR has been so successful, attracting big-name corporate
sponsors, that after just 14 seasons, the annual prize money has
sky-rocketed to more than $10 million dollars.
As
an official sponsor of the 2008 Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World
Finals, the Sahara Hotel is hosting numerous events, promotions
and premier room packages through November 9. 
For
starters, you don’t have to be a cowboy (or cowgirl) to indulge
in the “Ultimate Cowboy Dinner” in the House of Lords
Steak House which features rocky mountain oysters, buffalo filet
and wild boar – all for $42 per person. More traditional?
Then opt for the “T-Bone-n-Brew Special” available in
the Caravan Café, 24/7, which includes a 1 lb. grilled t-bone
steak with salad, a choice of potato and an ice-cold Miller High
Life or Miller Light – all for $14.95.
There’s
also the “Thomas & Mack Coupon Giveaway” where 500
coupons for a “Free Miller High Life and shot of Jack”
will be given away each evening at the Thomas & Mack’s
Jack Daniels Lounge. These coupons are redeemable at any Sahara
bar, plus, guests who show a PBR ticket stub will receive a $1 discount
on all beverages at the casino bars. Other drink specials, available
24/7 in all the hotel’s bars are: $2 Miller High Life longnecks;
Jack Daniels, Gentlemen Jacks and Jack Single Barrels start from
$4; $6 Miller High Life Longnecks and shots of Jack Daniels (double
the shot for $2 more), and $10 buckets of Miller High Life Longnecks.
 Where
would cowboy central be without beautiful ladies? The Sahara will
be hosting the hottest Bikini Bull Riding contest on November 7,
10 p.m., with the girls of Badda Bing Gentlemen’s Club competing
for cash and prizes. These ladies will also pick out three lucky
cowboys to compete in the “Frozen T-shirt” contest.
Other brave females who want to try their hand at bull-riding can
take their chances Friday and Saturday nights, (November 7-8), 8-10
p.m., at the Casbar Lounge.
On top of all
these goodies, the Sahara will also be hosting the “Official
PBR 3rd and 7th Round Drafts” as well as after-parties, November
8 at the NASCAR Café. All riders participating in the finals
will be attending the parties.
