The center of it all is the National Finals Rodeo, 11/30-12/9 at the Thomas & Mack Center. Sometimes referred to as the "Super Bowl of Rodeos," the competition is open only to the top 15 regular-season finishers in each of professional rodeo's seven events: saddle bronc riding, bull riding, bareback riding, calf roping, team roping, steer wrestling and barrel racing.
In addition to the rodeo, there are also several country music artists performing this week(end) including:
11/30 - Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood at Mandalay Bay
11/30 - Randy Travis at Golden Nugget
12/1 - Big & Rich at the Hilton
12/4 - Charlie Daniels Band at Mandalay Bay
12/4 - Tanya Tucker at Golden Nugget

If you're yearning for good ol' boy laughs, Larry the Cable Guy is at Orleans 12/2
