Helldorado Days, an annual cowboy-themed outdoor festival celebrating Las Vegas’ tribute to the Wild West, offers a nightly rodeo, carnival, live music, exhibits, vendors and food, as well as a parade, whiskerino contest, Farm Days for school children, and other activities. Tickets to Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeos are available online for 7 p.m. May 14-16; tickets for regional rodeo action are available for 5 p.m. May 17. Watch children ages 5-7 mutton busting each night, with mutton busting finals Sunday at 4 p.m.
Created in 1934 and produced by the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks Lodge No. 1468, the 81-year civic event has raised more than $4 million during its history to assist local children’s and veterans’ charities. Local charities The Animal Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, The Shade Tree and Project 150 will benefit from this year’s ticket sales. The parade and rodeo are sponsored, in part, by the Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial.
