To the American? We went but we live less than two hours away. I would rather do Vegas again if I didn't live this close. The rodeo was fun but that was really it. Was kind of disappointed in the fan zone it was just like a small county fair with a couple tents with vendors and a stage for a band. We did stockyards Saturday night and it that's always fun.

I went last year and was so disappointed I couldnt go this year. I havent been to Vegas (next year i swear) so I dont have anything to compare it to but for a long weekend getaway, it was awesome!!! Stockyards was a blast and the rode was like nothing else I had ever seen. I dunno it just had a great atmopshere.

We won't be going to Vegas this year, but I would like to go to the American next year since I haven't been. I bet the atmosphere is awesome! How crowded was the Stockyards?
Depends where you go, Cadillacs was shoulder to shoulder but we ended the night at Rodeo Exchange and it was much less crowded. The rodeo was a great time of course we loved our seats and really enjoyed the day but I don't think since I've been now if I moved far away I would make a special trip over where I definitely plan on again to do Vegas for the NFR.
We went for the first time this year. We have talked about the last 2 years. We now live only 2 hours from the Stadium. It was something I think everyone should do but the only way I would do it again is if we lived close. If we move back to Wyoming or out of state I would not make a special trip back.
I've been two years in a role. I live in central OK so it wasn't a bad drive. I will say I had more fun last yr than this yr. This yr it was hard to understand what they were saying on the big screen.
We went and will go again next year...i also enjoy vegas for the nfr each year too.. if I had to pick 1 ..nfr for sure since has way more shopping n stuff to do..but the American was very fun and great for a weekend getaway...wish it was on Saturday though..
We went last year and enjoyed it a lot. We are only a 6 hr drive away though. Didn't get to go this year since we are going the the Timed Event Championship this weekened. We couldn't justify going to both. I want to go back next year though
