When 1998
Photographer William Albert Allard

"During the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, kids go to the arcades and cowboys go to the casinos, where you can let it ride at the table for a lot longer than the eight seconds you have to stay on a bull to score."

—Text from "Rodeos: Behind the Chutes," September 1999, National Geographic magazine
