LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Celebrations for the Vegas Golden Knights continue, but there was still business that needed to be taken care of in Florida.
"Hi, I'm Fort Lauderdale mayor Dean Trantalis, and I want to take this moment to congratulate the Golden Knights of Las Vegas and mayor Carolyn Goodman for the success they achieved by winning the Stanley Cup this year. It was a great competition between the different teams and it was really a great opportunity for both cities to shine. Of course, here we are shining today in front of our beautiful beach welcoming everybody from shore to shore and all around the world to come to Fort Lauderdale. Hope to see you next time I'm in Las Vegas."
