National Finals Rodeo 2008 begins tonight

For the next 10 days, get ready for boot-stompin' and 40-gallon hats, because the rodeo's in town!
Las Vegas celebrates the beginning of the 50th annual National Finals Rodeo today, which like other years, continues for 10 days of competition amongst riders.
Roping, bull riding, bareback, steer wrestling... all will vie for over $5.5 million in prizes.
Many of the tickets have already been sold out, but you can go to select casinos such as Mirage to watch live simulcasts for free.
Along with the live feed (get it, feed?) at Mirage, they will also host live entertainment for free:
Dec. 4, Amanda Henkel and Cody McCarver
Dec. 5-6, Derry Perry
Dec. 7-10, Jason Meadows
Dec. 11, Susie Dobbs
Dec. 12-13, Katie Armiger
