Las Vegas Aces Celebrate Their Third Championship with an Epic Parade
Las Vegas got dressed up to celebrate the Aces’ third championship in four years, marking a milestone in the history of women’s basketball. The parade, held on the famous Strip, was the perfect setting to celebrate the team’s victory.The parade, led by low-rider cars that displayed their hydraulic systems, went down the iconic Las Vegas Boulevard. Five double-decker buses transported the Aces, who threw streamers and confetti at the thousands of fans who were eagerly waiting. The celebration was attended by fans of all ages, from children to the elderly, as well as political dignitaries. Toshiba Plaza was filled to celebrate the fourth professional championship since 2022, with the Aces winning three and the NHL’s Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup in 2023.We’re back!

Becky Hammon, who completed her fourth season with the Aces, highlighted the team’s resilience and character. After losing several key players from their previous rosters, the Aces welcomed many new faces and needed almost three months to consolidate before achieving 16 consecutive wins to end the regular season and secure the second seed in the playoffs.We should do it again next year.
