JASON MEADOWS AND MICHAEL SCOTT TO KICK OFF
“THE MIRAGE PRESENTS RODEO VEGAS”
AT THE MIRAGE HOTEL AND CASINO
DECEMBER 3-12
NASHVILLE, TN—December 2, 2009—Country music stars Jason
Meadows and Michael Scott are scheduled to kick off “The Mirage
Presents Rodeo Vegas,” the official WNFR (Wrangler National
Finals Rodeo) afterparty of the PRCA (Professional Rodeo
Cowboys Assn.). It promises to be the ultimate rodeo party and
entertainment spectacular at The Mirage Hotel and Casino,
December 3-12. The event brings together fans, spectators, and
rodeo stars and contestants for music, dancing, promotions, prizes
and parties throughout the 10 days of the WNFR competition.
Meadows and Scott perform Dec. 3-4 and Dec. 5-6 respectively.
The Mirage will broadcast a live feed of the WNFR nightly events in
the “Rodeo Vegas” area at the “Race and Sports Book” in the
casino, followed by live entertainment from Meadows, Scott, Hey
Romeo, Derryl Perry, and members of George Strait’s Ace In The
Hole Band. Replays of all WNFR action will be shown throughout
the night. Attendees will have a chance to meet and greet the top
WNFR competitors at The Mirage’s autograph sessions. Wrangler,
Coors, Coca-Cola, Cactus Saddlery, Jack Daniels, AT&T,
ProFantasy Rodeo, and Purina Mills sponsor the event. There is no
cover charge. All events are presented courtesy of The Mirage Hotel
and Casino. This year’s rodeo competition marks the 51st WNFR.
“’Rodeo Vegas’ continues to grow and evolve each year and we are
delighted with the strength of this event and our entertainment
lineup”, says Anthony Di Liddo, hotel marketing coordinator, The
Mirage Hotel and Casino. “Many well-loved and respected rodeo
contestants will be right here on property at The Mirage. The rodeo-
tied attractions and amenities targeting the champions, contestants
and their supporters have proven a favorite and have marked The
Mirage as a main component of the WNFR.”
Music and rodeo have been Jason Meadows' two greatest
passions since he was six years old. While few entertainers have
the talent to make a living both on stage and on horseback,
Meadows is on that short and noteworthy list. The combination
gives this handsome Oklahoman the rugged authenticity that
helped carry him from his family's farm in Calera to Nashville, and
from regional clubs to his impressive national CD release 100%
COWBOY. Meadows is compelling both as a singer and as a
person. Fortunately for country music fans, these days the music
takes center stage. "I was born to do this,” he says. “When I step out
on that stage, it's like stepping up to the edge of the Grand Canyon.
You look out and it takes your breath away."
Michael Scott admits he is a little rebellious, adventuresome and
likes to live on the wild side. He combines his high-energy
performance with traditional country flavor and a hint of southern
rock. "Michael Scott is a great live entertainer with a unique voice,"
Tracy Lawrence once said in introducing Scott on stage. "He's got
that 'something special,' not only as an entertainer but as a person,
that translates well to the public. His live performance reminds me
of the early Hank Jr. shows; he's edgy and in your face." In 2008,
Scott signed with Lawrence’s Rocky Comfort Records label. His
most recent CD release is titled BRING IT ON, a disc that followed
two independent CDs, ROUGH RIDE and LOUD AND ROWDY.
The Mirage opened in November 1989, setting a new standard for

s Blues Club, new nightlife at RHUMBAR, entertainment by talented

Soleil® production The Beatles™ LOVE™, celebrating the musical
legacy of The Beatles™, are just a few of the exciting additions to
the property. B.B. King’s Blues Club will celebrate it’s “Grand
Opening” December 11 with King himself scheduled to attend.
