LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — On Wednesday, the Las Vegas Aces won their second WNBA championship in two years. Now, all eyes are on Las Vegas officials in anticipation of a parade for the winning team.
Clark County officials confirmed on Thursday that the parade will be held on Monday, Oct. 23 at 5 p.m.
Due to the ongoing construction on the Strip, the procession will begin at Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevard and continue southbound until Park Avenue. The procession will turn left onto Park, where it will conclude at Toshiba Plaza and T-Mobile Park.
Fans are asked to gather along the parade route on Las Vegas Boulevard and Park Avenue to join in the historic celebration. Fans will be able to access the plaza at 3 p.m.
Additionally, an Aces Pop-Up Store will open at Toshiba Plaza at 3:00 p.m. Fans can also purchase merchandise at AcesTeamShop.com.
The on-stage celebration will include the talents of Announcer Chet Buchanan, in-arena hosts CJ Simpson and Joe Brown, along will the High Rollers, the Full Title dance crew, and the Raiderettes.
Thursday evening, the Aces and Clark County officials had yet to release additional details about the parade, but Commissioner Michael Naft wrote, "I look forward to Monday's victory celebration."

Last year, the parade kicked off at Caesars Palace and ended at the Bellagio fountains—two areas that, now, are under heavy construction for Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix preparations.
Last year, the parade was held just two days after the Aces won their first WNBA title.
That celebration included speeches from team officials, Naft, then-Govenor Steve Sisolak, and memorable remarks from Aces players including Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Chelsea Gray.
