Rodeo fans heading to Las Vegas for the 2026 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) will find plenty of Western entertainment at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. As an official NFR partner, the resort will welcome visitors from Dec. 3–12 with live music, viewing parties, dining specials and transportation options designed to make rodeo week easier to enjoy.
Located just minutes from the Thomas & Mack Center, Westgate has become a popular gathering place for NFR visitors. Guests can spend the day exploring Las Vegas before returning to the resort for live performances and rodeo coverage throughout the evening.
A major attraction during NFR week will be Westgate’s lineup of free country music. Performances will take place throughout the resort, including at the Cabaret Theater and International Bar. The schedule features a mix of established and emerging country artists, including Kenny Feidler, Tyler Halverson, Jarrod Morris, Logan Ryan Band, Wynn Williams, Pauline Reese, Olivia Harms and Caden Gillard.
The entertainment will extend from afternoon performances into the late evening, giving guests another reason to stay at the resort after the night’s rodeo events.
Food and drink specials will also be part of the NFR experience. Edge Steakhouse will bring back its popular Cowboy Steak, a longtime favorite among rodeo visitors. Guests can also find drink specials at Cabaret Bar and International Bar, including $7 “You Call It” cocktails featuring Pendleton Whisky, Tito’s Handmade Vodka or 1800 Tequila.
Additional specials include $12 beer-and-shot combinations and $25 Coors Banquet five-pack beer buckets. Westgate’s 4-5-6 program will also be available at casino bars, featuring $4 beers, $5 wines and $6 cocktails.
For fans who want to keep up with the competition, Westgate will host free nightly NFR viewing parties inside the Cabaret Theater and International Bar. The resort is also an official NFR Express Shuttle Stop, providing transportation to and from the Thomas & Mack Center.
Visitors can also reach Cowboy Christmas using the Las Vegas Monorail and Vegas Loop, adding convenience for those looking to experience more of the week’s rodeo-related activities.
“NFR is one of the most anticipated times of the year in Las Vegas, and Westgate has become a tradition for rodeo fans who return year after year,” said Dawn Rawle, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Entertainment for Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
With rodeo action, live country music, food and drinks all under one roof, Westgate is positioning itself as a central destination for fans looking to experience the energy of NFR week in Las Vegas.
