If you're in town for the National Finals Rodeo or just want to do some shopping Cowboy Christmas is one of the best times you can have in Las Vegas. And contrary to what the ads say this part of what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

• The Las Vegas Convention Center hosts the Cowboy Christmas Gift Show which is open 10AM - 5PM daily from Thursday, December 3 through Saturday, December 12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center this show bills itself as "longest running and only “Original” gift show of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo." The convention center is easy to get to on the Monorail as well making it hassle-free to get to.
• My personal favorite the Ariat Country Christmas Western Gift Expo returns for the 16th year at the Sands Convention Center and runs from Friday, December 3 - Sunday, December 13. Their site doesn't give hours but it's safe to assume they will be similar daytime hours. The Ariat Country Christmas is the only of the three to be open on Sunday Dec 13.
