My Vegas 5: World Champions Davis and Lockwood Offer Their Favorite Spots in Las Vegas Ahead of the 2021 PBR World Finals
By: Justin Felisko
PUEBLO, Colo. – The PBR World Finals is always an experience like none other, and that will certainly be the case once again on Nov. 3-7 when the 2021 PBR World Finals gets underway in the heart of Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena.
Las Vegas has long been home to the PBR, as the league has held 26 of its 27 World Finals in Las Vegas since its inaugural 1994 season. The state-of-the-art venue opened its doors to the PBR World Finals for the first time in 2016 and has hosted four of the past five PBR World Finals.
History has been synonymous with T-Mobile Arena, including Jess Lockwood becoming the youngest two-time PBR World Champion two years ago when the PBR last held its season-culminating event in Las Vegas.
Lockwood has won both of his world titles (2017, 2019) inside T-Mobile Arena, and he also went 5-for-6 to win the 2019 PBR World Finals event average title.
2016 World Champion Cooper Davis won the first-ever gold buckle handed out inside the state-of-the-art arena four years ago, and the No. 3 ranked bull rider in the world may just leave Vegas with a second world title in less than two months.
However, from the bright lights of the casinos to the tranquility of nature and everything in between, there is so much more to do in Las Vegas beyond the 8 seconds of thrilling competition between man and beast on the dirt.
Attempting to narrow down a list of places to visit in Vegas is no easy task, but PBR.com has you covered in the coming weeks.
Today, Davis and Lockwood are set to share with you some of their favorite spots in Las Vegas.
My Vegas 5:
CATCH at ARIA Resort and Casino
CATCH at the ARIA is probably the No. 1 MGM Resorts Restaurant my wife and I like to visit. The food is amazing, and the place has a really cool vibe. The crispy shrimp and crunchy rice cakes are some of our favorites on the menu. Not to mention, the drinks are really great as well. – Cooper Davis
PRIME Steakhouse is easily another one of our top picks. If you’re looking for a classic steakhouse with a little Vegas flair, this is the place. The tuna tartare and A5 Japanese wagyu fillet are as good as any we’ve ever had. – Cooper Davis
Every time we go to Vegas, we always end up going to check out the Fountains of Bellagio. No Vegas trip is complete without going to see the fountain. Not to mention, it’s a pretty popular spot for engagements as well! – Cooper Davis
Blue Man Group at Luxor
I was about 12 years old when I watched Blue Man Group with my cousins and parents. As kids, it was one of the greatest entertainment shows I’ve ever seen. It was fun, up close and personal. They make you feel like you are part of the show. – Jess Lockwood
Jean Georges Steakhouse at ARIA Resort and Casino
As a cowboy, nothing beats a great steak and a great steakhouse! – Jess Lockwood
This is no time to return to normal. At MGM Resorts, it’s time for something way beyond normal. It’s time to be entertained. To raise the stakes. It’s time for all the out-of-this-world, showstopping experiences mankind can handle. It’s time to go bigger than big and do what we do best in Vegas: have the time of our lives. It’s time for MGM Resorts.
