How do you price for Rodeo season?

Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (February-March) draws 2M+ attendees and is Houston’s biggest revenue opportunity. Our strategy:

  • 4-6 weeks before: Increase rates 30-50% for properties near NRG Stadium or along the rail line.
  • Early positioning: Capture premium bookings before competitors raise prices.
  • Location-based: Properties near NRG get higher premiums, others benefit from hotel overflow.
  • Duration optimization: Minimum 2-3 night stays during peak weekends.
  • Last-minute adjustments: Fill remaining dates strategically.

Result: Houston clients earn 40-60% more during Rodeo compared to regular February rates. Properties near NRG can see 2-3x normal rates during the busiest weekends.
