Local bullfights will be bloodless Mayo 23-2009Cheers of "¡Ole!" will be echoing through crowds at the South Point Arena come September.
The city that prides itself in offering a bold buffet of entertainment is adding bullfighting -- the bloodless kind. Organizers are planning a mid-week announcement on what is believed to be the first bloodless bullfights in Las Vegas
They will be held over six days, starting Sept. 14 at the South Point Arena, where the announcement will be made at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
A publicist said organizers believe it has been more than 40 years since bullfights were held in Las Vegas.
The matador lineup includes Mexico's Eulalio Lopez, better known as "El Zotoluco." He has been a featured bullfighter at Tijuana's bullring.
The first dates will be held Sept. 14-15, a Monday and Tuesday, leading into Mexican Independence Day festivities on the 16th. The second run will be Sept. 27-30.
APUNTE: Este es el primer "toque mediático" que aparece en Las Vegas, mientras que en España y el mundo taurino la noticia ha causado sensación. Tanto que hasta las figuras se han apuntado. El medio en que ha aparecido la noticia es Las Vegas Journal Review http://www.lvjr.com/ del periodista Norm Clark en su columna de chismes. Los organizadores han anunciado una conferencia de prensa para este mirecoles a las 11:0 a.m. en el Hotel South Point Arena que esta lejos de la avenida principal de los casinos en el centro. Y según la nota, se inclina la atraccion principal hacia Zotoluco dado que se intenta atraer la gran colonia de mexicanos que en la inauguración celebran su aniversario patrio.
