NFR — Vegas cash cow:

Even cowboys like luxury wear sometimes

Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 | 2 a.m.

Pinto Ranch has made a name for itself by doing things different than other Western wear retailers. That won’t change during the 2012 Wranglers National Finals Rodeo. As a high-end retailer, Pinto Ranch will continue to sell items at its Fashion Show mall store and will participate in special events at the LVH and Hard Rock Hotel. But don’t bother looking for the company’s goods at Cowboy Christmas or Stetson Country Christmas. “A lot of times, people want to go there to find deals, and that’s not what we’re about,” Marketing Director Bea Garcia said. “We carry high-end, top quality ...

It's kinda funny to see all the "cowboys" accessorize like a country Paris Hilton! They all have the same shirts, hats, boots, pie-plate belt buckles, the little Copenhagen ring on the right side of the Wrangler encased buttock - nothing is missed! Even the fake "drawl" and limp that is 100% the same no matter if you're a bull rider from Boise...Or a Bronc rider from Brooklyn or just here to watch to watch some WFR! Then, after the 5th beer, they all tilt their hats 20% to a starboard list! Yo Adran! Yeehaw!

I welcome our cowboys. This is a western town.

I'm glad they come here every year, and if they decide to buy an expensive saddle, or a beautiful hat, I have no problem with that.

I am about as far from country-western as you can get, but they are entitled to spend their own money on their luxuries just like everyone else.

Maybe some will visit Bonnie Springs Ranch. I saw some wild mustangs the last time I was there. The ranch could use the tourism boost.
