FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Premium stalling and approved classes make Paint Vegas even more exciting
FORT WORTH, TEXAS—Get ready! From preferred stalling to limited exhibitor divisions and classes approved by several performance organizations, Paint Vegas offers six exciting days of big cash payouts in plush accommodations at the South Coast Hotel & Casino’s Equestrian Complex. Paint Vegas is scheduled to take place Dec. 5-10 in Las Vegas, Nev., during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
With at least $230,000 added to the total payouts throughout the show, this one-of-a-kind Paint Horse show could be your chance to get in on big money—and now’s the time to start making your game plan.
On your mark!
Paint Vegas offers a variety of classes for exhibitors, including both Western and English disciplines, halter and yearling longe line.
Most Open and Non-Pro non-slot classes will offer a limited-exhibitor division to level the field for competitors without extensive show records. These limited classes will be held as a class within a class with their own payout designations but only one class entry fee.
Limited exhibitor eligibility requirements vary for each class, and you must indicate your eligibility when you enter. The best way to check your status is to visit aphapaintvegas.com.
Get set!
To make your Paint Vegas success count for even more, APHA has received affiliate approval from a number of performance organizations, including:
National Snaffle Bit Association
National Reined Cow Horse Association
National Reining Horse Association
Paint Vegas’ team roping classes will be timed and will utilize the United States Team Roping Championships numbering system. Both Open and #12 classes will be offered.
Go!
Move-in day for Paint Vegas is Dec. 4, so exhibitors should get rooms and stalling booked early. South Coast Hotel & Casino’s Equestrian Center offers accommodations for horse and rider under one roof.
Discounted room rates are available for Paint Vegas exhibitors who make their reservations by October 31. Contact APHA for room block pricing and details.
The association invites exhibitors to stall in style with preferred stalling during Paint Vegas. Located closest to the arena, preferred stalls are the only ones in the facility that allow for a welcome area. Through this new opportunity, exhibitors who wish to register for the preferred stabling draw will have the chance to designate a 6- stall or a 13-stall placement through an application process. The 6- stall package features six 10-by-10-foot stalls, including one corner stalls, and four daily passes to the VIP hospitality area for $5,500. The 13-stall package features 13 10-by-10 stalls, including one or two corner stalls, and four daily passes to the VIP hospitality area for $7,500. Additional stalls for either package may be purchased adjacent to the preferred stalls for $300 each.
