Downtown Las Vegas roped in by National Finals Rodeo
The National Finals Rodeo drives casino revenue in Las Vegas downtown as Binion's Horseshoe reports 20 to 30 percent higher business during the 10 day run. Crowchild and others say rodeo fans travel with expendable income and gamble heavily. The Fremont Street Experience links with Binion's for a Downtown Rodeo Stampede with nightly concerts and Texas barbecue. December gaming typically weak, but rodeo rush steadies the month.
