What to expect
The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is scheduled for December 3–12 at the Thomas & Mack Center. The ten-day run is the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s season-ending championship event.
The official ticket series lists a separate performance each day, with a 5:45 p.m. start time. That makes the performance date a key part of the purchase: a ticket for one evening is not automatically a pass for the entire championship.
Plan your visit
Las Vegas Events and the destination’s visitor organization both list the December 3–12 dates. The broader NFR calendar also includes related daytime and after-hours activities across Las Vegas, but those are separate from arena admission.
Use the official NFR and ticket links to compare the performance you want with current availability. This preview does not name qualifiers or predict results; the event remains ahead on the calendar, and the final competitive story will depend on the completed season.
Pickups and dropoffs use dedicated autonomous-vehicle zones on the Ground Zero level at terminals 1 and 3; access is expanding gradually rather than opening to everyone at once.
