December is a very successful time for tourism in Las Vegas and most avid fans either cannot get or only have single day access to the Big Event; or they just can’t get enough of what they love – a quality rodeo entertainment product. This leaves thousands of people roaming the casinos, Christmas trade shows or themed entertainment events throughout the city.

“There is only so much time a fan is willing to spend on these events. Boyd Gaming and Las Vegas puts on many great events to entertain all those that visit in December, but what we all travel to Las Vegas for is what we love, quality rodeo. This town is ready for what Boyd Gaming and the Orleans Hotel & Casino are ready to release in December 2015,” said eight-time World Champion and Hall of Famer, Joe Beaver.

“I have been involved with Boyd Gaming for many years, and believe me, Bill Boyd and his team have supported the cowboys and cowgirls since rodeo first began appearing in Las Vegas,” said rodeo legend Donnie Gay.

“Now Boyd Gaming has a solution to the 30-year question of where do Cowboys, Cowgirls and their fans go before and after the Big Rodeo. A new, interactive rodeo event that is unique, affordable, and just plain fun.”

Boyd Gaming is proud to announce that next December, the 2015 Boyd Gaming Chute-Out will come to the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas!

The Boyd Gaming Chute-Out will be held in the Orleans Arena, a Boyd Gaming facility located just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

The facility is adjacent and connects to the popular Orleans Hotel and Casino, has seating for more than 5,700 guests along with easy access to acres of parking. The Orleans proudly offers 1,886 beautifully appointed rooms and suites featuring the ultimate in luxury and comfort.

“The competition will be fierce. A great venue and the chute-out format allows professional riders to showcase their special skills in front of fans seated close to the action,” Said Boyd Polhamus, four-time PRCA rodeo announcer of the year.

Each afternoon of the Chute-Out will feature three rounds, culminating on the final day of competition where the event’s first official Chute-Out Champions will be crowned.

“With a purse of $200,000 up for grabs, a format that is compelling, and opportunities for fans to interact with the riders and events, this will be the daytime experience to attend,” said Polhamus. “It is hard to beat a quality rodeo event that is exciting and full of twists and at the same time affordable and interactive.”

“This is going to be one heck of a show for any rodeo fan,” said Bob Tallman, legendary rodeo announcer. “I have announced the biggest rodeos in the world and can honestly say that this concept and format has me so excited that I wanted to be the first announcer to host the event.

Boyd Gaming has been on my shirt for many years and they talk the talk and walk the walk about being an organization of real people with an honest company culture that is supportive of and very proud of being part of our world known as rodeo.

Boyd Gaming is looking for good partners for the event, but more importantly, partners that can all be successful and grow beyond 2015.”

The opportunity to be a sponsor of this event goes way beyond a normal advertising package. “Boyd Gaming is well known in the rodeo lifestyle family. We are searching for partners, not just sponsors. The Boyd Gaming Chute-Out will only be a success if all partners involved realize a return on their investment. That is why we tailored packages that go well beyond December 2015,” said Chris Gibase, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Boyd Gaming.
