Round 2 – December 5, 2025
The 67th Annual Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada kicked off the second of 10 performances Friday night, as the western culture of the United States and Canada descended in full force on the City of Lights.
It’s hard to imagine that December desert 40 years ago, when the NFR first moved to Las Vegas in 1985 with $1.8 million added. Fast forward to 2025, and that purse has grown to an incredible $17.5 million, giving cowboys and cowgirls the ultimate opportunity to cash in on rodeo’s biggest stage.
