Beginning this week, tickets for the Clark County Fair and Rodeo may be purchased in advance. The good news is that ticket prices have not increased for this year.
“We want to give our fair attendees the most bang for their buck,” said Shannon Zobrist of the Fair staff. “From the entertainment to the exhibits, to the carnival, and the vendors, it really is a good deal.”
Advance discount fair admission tickets will still be $12 for a single day with a season pass for all five days at $40. Walk up gate pricing will be $15 per day for adults, $12 for seniors and children. Children under 5 enter free.
This year, 4-pack fair admission tickets may be purchased at all four Costco stores in Las Vegas. Tickets may also be purchased over the phone with no added fees.
In addition Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, is partnering with the fair this year. During the two weeks between April 1 through April 14, anyone donating blood at any of Vitalant’s three Las Vegas locations can receive free fair admission.
The Fair is also offering Buddy Passes for the carnival on Thursday, April 11. Each carnival ticket purchased that day is a two-for-one and is good between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. This price is two carnival tickets for $30 and does not include entrance into the fair.
