Mount Up! PBR Rock Bar to Soft-Open on August 22

Where: 3663 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
August 12, 2010 at 4:46 PM | by juliana | 2 Comments

Yee-haw! Get your cowboy boots on...again! PBR Rock Bar is set to soft-open on August 22 at the Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Not only will the place have your favorite white-trash comfort food like Dorito-crusted mac and cheese, it will have all the crazy antics we'd expect from a bull-riding bar. After all, PBR stands for Professional Bull Riders.

Inside, a DJ booth and live-performance stage will branch well beyond classic-country fare. Staff also will literally swing from the ceiling playground-style, and the requisite mechanical bull will bring an extra dose of entertainment underneath a custom-made Jumbotron.

You can expect lots of country fans and cowboys to hang out here, especially when the rodeo is in town in December, but PBR is sounding more like a party spot than Gilley's down at Treasure Island. Come August 22, there will be only one way to settle this matter. With a mechanical bull-off.

PBR Rock Bar is Greasing Up the Mechanical Bull (Or So We Imagine)

July 27, 2010 at 7:35 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

The time is drawing near and VegasChatter's ultimate wet dream is thisclose to coming true--a mechanical bull-off between Gilley's and PBR Rock Bar.

We've been stalking curious about the opening of PBR Rock Bar for quite some time and while the reps say an announcement is coming soon, we've already come across their advert for a job fair.

This Saturday and Sunday in the PH Celebrity Ballroom, PBR Rockbar will be looking for a variety of employees from chefs to sous chefs, bar backs, cocktail waitresses and bartenders. The shindig is going down from 10am to 3pm both days and while riding a mechanical bull is not expected of potential employees, they do ask that your bring a resume and current photo.

This Will Be Your Competition at the PBR Rock Bar

March 2, 2010 at 4:59 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

The PBR Rock Bar is not opening until the Summer but signage has gone up over the old Hawaiian Tropic Zone space as the interior renovations begin. And it is for REALZ that this place will be for cowboys, cowgirls and anyone who wants to bed a cowboy or cowgirl.

Check the Flickr photo for proof of Professional Bull Riders Rock Bar signage.

Meanwhile, we did a little further exploring of the other PBR bar in Kansas City. And this is what we found.

PBR Rockbar Gets a Website, Teases Us With Horns

February 25, 2010 at 8:03 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

You may be wondering, what the heck is PBR Rockbar? We're still not 100 percent sure. All we know is that it's taking over the space at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone in Planet Hollywood. But if this new website says anything it says Professional Bull Riders more than it does Pabst Blue Ribbon. Coming Summer 2010. Gilley's, you've been warned. In the meantime, does anyone have a mechanical bull we can practice on?

Who Will Stay on the Bull Longer: Gilley's or PBR Rock Bar?

February 23, 2010 at 11:33 PM | by juliana | 4 Comments

Last week we got word that something called the PBR Rock Bar would open in the old Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood. We're still waiting on word as to what exactly PBR stands for but we're thinking it's got to something to do with Professional Bull Riders. And if that ends up being true, we just might have a showdown on the Strip for the best mechanical bull riding hangout.

That's because Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall and Bar-B-Que is set to open on April 16, according to Fox 5. The space will open next to the Siren's Cove and it recently held a job fair which is very promising news.

The High-Low Appeal of Garth Brooks at The Encore

December 14, 2009 at 1:22 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

After we took this photo, Purple People yelled at us.

If you find yourself strolling around the Wynn and Encore properties these days, chances are the one and only song you will hearing blaring from the Wynn's outdoor speakers is "Friends in Low Places." And yes, that's because country superstar Garth Brooks has officially kicked off his semi-permanent residency here. (Wynn might be playing his other songs but the four different times we were outside the hotel, it was that ultimate bar crowd pleaser playing.)

We were invited along with several other Vegas media folk to attend the 10:30pm showing of Garth's concert on Saturday night, his second night in town.

With tickets at a healthy rate of $143 (including tax) for any and all seats, front row or back row, we're here to tell you exactly what you're gonna get. Well, not exactly since Garth might be taking different requests when you go. Yes, he takes requests.

For Romance and Cowboys, Hit the Paris Lobby at 3pm Today

Where: 3655 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109
December 9, 2009 at 12:22 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Admit it. Sometimes, as you’re walking down the Strip dodging the card snappers, or in a bar, looking at the couples who’ve just bonded over their 12th daiquiri, you get the impression that Vegas isn’t romantic.

It’s OK to think that, say the folk at Paris, the hotel of love – and to perk up your romance antennae, they’re bussing in romance author Linda Lael Miller to give you hope. Well, technically to sign copies of her new book, Montana Creeds: Dylan, but we’re sure she’ll give you some wooing advice while she’s at it.

And if that hasn’t swayed you, maybe this will – according to her website, there will be cowboys. And, thanks to VegasChatter, you already know what to do with them.

Linda and cowboys hit the Paris lobby from 3-4pm today. Yep, you’re welcome.

Five Ways to Bed a Cowboy During National Finals Rodeo

December 7, 2009 at 6:50 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Tonight continues the fourth night of the National Finals Rodeo and if you've got your heart set on bedding a cowboy before it all ends on December 12, here are five totally unproven ways to do it.

1. Tell 'em you got tickets to see Garth Brooks on December 11th. It doesn't matter if that's true or not. You just need to hook 'em in for the night and you'll be gone when the morning comes.

2. Do not talk about animal cruelty. Actually, this one we did try. Cowboys will argue that the horses they use to lasso in rodeo finals are actually fat. "They eat better than me," one told us last night. Again, if you wanna bed him for the night, just nod your head and say yes.

3. Stay at the South Point. This is where a ton of cowboys are hitching their trailers when in town, thanks to the hotel's own equestrian center inside. If you can't get a room, um, skulk the hallways?

4. Do shots at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar at Harrah's. No explanation needed.

5. Buy stuff at the Cowboy Christmas Show. The shopping "extravaganza" is open all week from 10am to 5pm in the North Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Besides, shopping for a new pair of cowboy boots could lead to all sorts of sexy discussions. Not sure we can say the same for cowboy poetry.

Howdy Pardner! The Rodeo Comes to Town Next Week

November 23, 2009 at 6:43 PM | by Whalehead | 0 Comments

Generally speaking, when we write about cowboys, the word refers to pocket kings in a game of Texas Hold ‘Em.

This time, however, we’re actually talking about honest-to-goodness cowboys; the kinds that chew tobacco, listen to Garth Brooks, wear ten-gallon hats, lasso rabid bulls, ride around on horses and walk around in spurs.

A contingent of some of the best cowboys from all over North America will be in town next week for the National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas and Mack Center Dec. 3-12. The event, hailed as the “Super Bowl of Rodeos,” is the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association annual championship.

Over the course of ten days, the NFR features the Top 15 competitors in each of professional rodeo's seven events: saddle bronco riding, bull riding, bareback riding, calf-roping, team roping, steer wrestling and barrel racing.
