Different championship parade route and rally staging site but same Las Vegas celebratory spirit.
The Las Vegas Aces are slated to stage a parade and rally Monday at 5 PM when the procession starts at Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevards and head on the southbound land to Park Avenue. The WNBA championship parade turns left on Park for a victory rally at the plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena.
The Formula One race construction on the Strip in front of the Bellagio prompted the Aces to change the parade route for the team’s second straight championship celebration.
The Aces defeated the New York Liberty Wednesday, 70-69, in New York to clinch the WNBA crown, three games to one. The Aces won 34 of 40 regular season games, swept Chicago and Dallas in the playoffs before knocking out the “super team” Liberty without two starting players, including last year’s Finals MVP, Chelsea Gray. The Aces’ anchor, A’ja Wilson, won the Finals MVP this year.
The Aces request that fans gather along the parade route along Las Vegas Blvd. and Park Avenue and join the team for the celebration in Toshiba Plaza, the plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena.
The celebration will run from 5 PM to 7:30 PM. The Aces’ home court is at Mandalay Bay, but the Aces did play two games at T-Mobile Arena this season.
It’s the third championship parade on the Strip in 13 months with the Aces title celebration in September, the Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup parade in June and the Aces rally on Monday.
