Celebrating 10 years of the Priefert Pavilion at the South Point Hotel Casino Spa and a partnership that gets better each and every year. Thank you for sending these special treats to Texas Michael Gaughan and crew — here’s to another 10 + more!
LAS VEGAS (July 18, 2024)— South Point Arena and Equestrian Center is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Priefert Pavilion. Construction of this state-of-the-art equestrian facility began in 2013 and it opened to the public in 2014, expanding the existing Arena and Equestrian Center.
The Priefert Pavilion added an impressive 100,000 square feet of competition space to South Point Arena, featuring two new climate-controlled arenas within its innovative design. Additionally, the current Arena and Equestrian Center boasts over 1,200 climate-controlled stalls, an indoor practice arena and a 4,600-seat main show arena. Altogether, the South Point Arena and Equestrian Center along with the Priefert Pavilion offer more than 240,000 square feet for events.
“When we began our partnership with South Point, we did so because it was such an honor and privilege to simply be associated with them and what they represent,” said Eddie Priefert. “Over the years, we’ve gotten to know the Gaughan’s and the staff – folks like Ryan Growney, Steve Stallworth, Bill Purcell – today, they are just like family. We’re all so similar in thought process and philosophy, the importance we place on family, friends, and work ethic coincides perfectly, making it a perfect partnership.”
South Point is the only property in Las Vegas to offer four state-of-the-art transformable arenas, perfectly suited for the city's vibrant event scene. Known as "Vegas Cowboy Central," South Point hosts over 46 weeks of equestrian events a year, catering to many niches within the industry, from performance horse competitions to breed shows. It has also been instrumental in hosting some of the country’s largest Western lifestyle events, including the Indian National Finals Rodeo, Professional Bull Riders’ Challenger Finals, the World Series of Team Roping, and Taylor Sheridan’s Run For A Million.
"Priefert Pavilion was the perfect addition to the Arena and Equestrian Center," stated Steve Stallworth, general manager of the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center. "With the Priefert Pavilion, we have the opportunity to host numerous events each year and welcome countless guests. This addition, made 10 years ago, has allowed us to attract larger events to Las Vegas and expand our positive economic impact."
