Yeah, I Knew They Wouldn't Leave

In Las Vegas, you have to have a real strong poker face to play with the big boys.  The National Finals Rodeo didn't have a poker face when they threatened to leave Las Vegas for Florida: http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2013/12/nfr-leaving-las-vegas-i-doubt-it.html
Today, it was announced the NFR is staying in Las Vegas.
From the LVRJ: The National Finals Rodeo will remain in Las Vegas through 2024 after Las Vegas Events and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association reached agreement on a new 10-year contract Friday.
The agreement ends a flirtation by the PRCA, the sanctioning body that oversees the NFR, with Orlando and Dallas.
Both cities had been looking to grab the 10-day event — considered the Super Bowl of rodeos —away from Las Vegas, where it has been held for 29 years.
In December, Osceola County Commissioners near Orlando in Central Florida held a rare Sunday meeting to approve an NFR bid that offered about $10 million more in prize money to than what Las Vegas Events offered.
In Dallas, Mark Cuban, owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry expressed interest in having the rodeo move to the Lone Star State.
Officials in Orlando and Dallas were informed of the new contract with Las Vegas.   http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/national-finals-rodeo-stay-las-vegas-10-years
Yeah, it's going to cost a little bit more, but not that much more and the NFR is staying.
