Thank you for your interest in The Mandalay Bay’s “Heatin’ Up the Bay” BBQ and Chili Cookoff presented by Smart and Final. This cook off will be held October 29th and 30th, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada at one of the world’s most exciting destinations. The Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the strip is next to its sister properties the Luxor and Excalibur. The BBQ and Chili cook off will be in conjunction with the Pro Bull Riders Built Ford Tough World Finals. The Mandalay Bay will host the PBR Party Zone and we will be in that area. The BBQ will be a Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctioned contest, America’s #1 sanctioning body. The total prize package for the BBQ will be $40,000 with the Grand Champions purse at $12,000. The contest reps will be Carolyn Wells, Ron Harwell and Tony Stone. Please contact me for room rates at all connected properties of the tram. The tram ride is a non-stop ride from additional properties. Along with the information listed, their will be entertainment both days at the PBR Party Zone Stages and the Western Gift Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Bayside D, one of the largest in the area.
