~ feature ~ Photo: Barbary Coast on The Strip Photo: Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Neon Lights, volcanos erupting, show girls, fountains dancing to music and money, money, money! Excitement happens every minute in Las Vegas – Casinos running 24 hours, winners and grinners in all of them – it is hard not to be caught up in the atmosphere of "Vegas". The world could fall apart and nobody in Las Vegas would notice. STORY: LEE ANN HALL • PHOTOS: LEE ANN HALL aAPHA is not to be left out of the excitement. December 2006 saw the first "Paint Vegas" Paint Horse Show and Gift Show, held in the South Point Casino on the south end of "The Strip", Las Vegas Boulevard. In true Vegas tradition, money was the name of the game at this show – no points but plenty of money. Over half a million dollars was paid out in prize money over the duration of the show – some winners taking home $25,000. Aside from the thousands of dollars, Paint Vegas Champions took home something extra special. Well known equine artist Marita McMillan designed an exclusive Paint Vegas trophy that was as unique as the competition whose winners it honoured. These beautiful awards featured three sculptured Paint Horse heads and a glass plaque. A new concept was introduced at the inaugural Paint Vegas Show – Slot Classes, being limited entry events in which contestants reserved their space well in advance. Slot owners in this year’s Paint Vegas purchased their chance at the big money in March, paying $1500- per slot in the Longe-Line and $2500- per slot in the other four Slot Classes. Horses and exhibitors for the classes were named in September. The payouts for the slot classes were as follows – Yearling Longe-Line $43,500- Maiden Yearling Mares $75,000- Maiden Yearling Stallions & Geldings $67,500- 4 Year Old & Under Novice Horse Western Pleasure $57,500- 4 Year Old & Under Novice Horse Hunter Under Saddle $45,000- Horses in the Maiden Halter classes can not have earned any recorded points or money, the Novice Performance horses can not have earned a World or Reserve World Championship title, more than 25 total points or more than $1000- in NSBA earnings. Exhibitors in all of the classes have limited winnings on their records. This combination of novice horses and exhibitors made for exciting competition, which, when considering the high stakes, turned the Slot Classes into very thrilling events at Paint Vegas. Paint Vegas was held in the glorious South Point Casino complex – a Casino with luxurious accommodation, plenty The Paint Horse Journal 15 February - March 2007
