Las Vegas 2024 BBQ Jackpot KCBS BBQ Competition
December 7, 2024

The Biggest BBQ Bash in Sin City
And the largest KCBS competition west of the Mississippi River.
After a five-year pause, KCBS competition BBQ has made it’s way back to Vegas, baby! Several of the nation’s top teams are competing in the most-coveted BBQ competition in Nevada.
BBQ Jackpot will be a KCBS-sanctioned BBQ contest held at Bass Pro Shops in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Dec. 7, 2024.
KCBS History in Vegas
Back in 2013, there were several KCBS BBQ competitions held in Las Vegas – the World Food Championships, the Sam’s Club National BBQ Tour and the Downtown Throw Down.
The WFC lasted two years before the competition moved East. The Sam’s Club series ended in 2017, and Downtown Throw Down ended in 2018.
The Downtown Throw Down was held under the neon lights on Fremont Street. Thanks to Steve Overlay, the Nevada BBQ Association and many others, it was one of the most popular BBQ competitions on the West Coast.
The event was always held in early December to coincide with the National Finals Rodeo, which is held in Las Vegas every year.
When registration opened for the 2018 Downtown Throw Down, it sold out in a matter of minutes. That’s how popular it was.
Over the years, finding an organizer and location has been challenging, especially since Fremont Street underwent several renovations and changes.
