I'm finally after many years of wishing going to get to go to the NFR! Now I'm starting to panic because I have NO Idea what to wear. We will be shopping in the day and going to the rodeo at night, no shows or anything. Any ideas would be so appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Comfortable shoes

Generally the temp is 55-70F

I find I get chilled at night and I am from Canada, so I do pack a sweater, and a heavier jacket

I didn't know if everyone wore regular rodeo clothes, I.e. Jeans, boots, cute shirt etc or more trendy clothes. I've watched it every year for forever on tv but never pay attention to anyone but the contestants!

At the Thomas & Mack, definitely rodeo clothes. Usually, the ladies don't wear hats but do wear upscale rodeo gear. For shopping, wear comfortable footwear.

Another thing to consider is to take an oversized suitcase for all the valuables that you buy!

 Fringe and Aztec/SW patterns are very in right now... Shopping won't be hard at all!

Comfortable shoes are a must for the day time.  You can go as dressy or as casual as you want for the rodeo.  I wore jeans everywhere and just did a dressier top (blouse and faux fur vest, poncho type pullover, etc) for the rodeo.  I don't think I ever wore anything heavier than a cardigan and felt fine.  Don't stress too much over it.... I loved Vegas because the rodeo people around were so casually dressed!!

 Make sure you take a warm jacket because nights are cold. You wont need a jacket to do all the shopping, but going to the rodeo you will as you will stand in line to get in, and stand in line for the buses to take you back to the hotel. Plus there is stuff to do and venders outside the thomas n mac as well.
