Wrangler National Finals Rodeo Offers Complimentary Shuttle Bus Service to Attendees

LAS VEGAS

Rodeo fans looking for transportation to and from the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo®, celebrating its 40th anniversary in Las Vegas, will have the option to utilize the complimentary shuttle bus service – the NFR Express – with routes from the Las Vegas Convention Center and NFR official host hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown to the Thomas & Mack Center.

From Thursday, Dec. 4 through Saturday, Dec. 13, shuttle buses will pick up at Cowboy Christmas presented by Pro Fantasy Rodeo located at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This one-way route will run from the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall directly to the Thomas & Mack Center.

Also beginning on Dec. 4, the NFR Express will provide complimentary routes to and from the NFR sponsor hotels. There are now 14 routes, covering 24 hotel properties.

In 2025, all Wrangler NFR performances begin at 5:45 p.m. (PT). NFR Express will begin pick-ups at 4 p.m. (PT) and include return service until 9:45 p.m. (PT). There is no shuttle bus service during the actual rodeo performance from 6 p.m. through 8:15 p.m.

“As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, rodeo fans have increasingly utilized the NFR Express to access the Thomas & Mack Center each night,” said Tim Keener, president of Las Vegas Events. “In addition to the routes that service our hotel partners, there is a one-way shuttle that allows fans to move from Cowboy Christmas presented by Pro Fantasy Rodeo to the arena. With the increased traffic and parking congestion around the Thomas & Mack Center, we encourage fans to consider this efficient and complimentary mode of transportation.”
