When the rodeo comes to town, Vegas gets a little rugged. The glitz and glamor stay, but suddenly there are more cowboys than normal. If you can’t make it to the Thomas & Mack and T-Mobile arenas to watch the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) World Finals and the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in person, there are plenty of bars where you can celebrate all the hard-riding action. 

If you want cheer along with other rodeo fans - and maybe even ride a mechanical bull - you’ve got to get to the right bar. Here’s some of our favorite country bars in Las Vegas, even when PBR and NFR aren’t in town.

1. PBR Rock Bar. Located on the Strip at the Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood, where you’ll feel a little bit country and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll. With a mechanical bull, a patio overlooking the Strip, four full-service bars and a delicious menu, you’ll let loose and maybe even let out a “yeehaw!” The menu even has the biggest burger in the country according to USA Today. You might need to loosen your belt a bit to chow down on those beef patties!
   
2. Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill. Nightly live country music combined with a Southern menu and great drinks makes this popular bar in Harrah’s a fun stop. Named after Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar”, this Vegas favorite is always a great stop no matter the time of year. Mingling with other rodeo fans just makes it that much better. And if you’re lucky, you might get to see the man himself, Toby Keith, enjoying a cold one. 
3. Coyote Ugly Saloon. Hot girls dancing on the bar while pouring drinks? Sign us up. If you’ve seen the movie and want to experience the real thing, you can’t miss stopping by the bar located at New York New York Hotel & Casino. We promise it’s even better than the movies.
