๐๐ Parade Craze Hits Sin City โ The Ultimate Lowdown on the Golden Knightsโ Victory Party! ๐ฐ๐
TL;DR: Get ready to paint the town gold, as Las Vegas prepares to bring the roof down in celebration of the Golden Knightsโ Stanley Cup win ๐. A crowd to rival New Yearโs Eve ๐ is expected to join the parade, starting 7 p.m. from Flamingo Road to Tropicana Avenue. Rules are rules, so check whatโs allowed and whatโs not. Bags bigger than purses, coolers, drones, and a few other items didnโt make the cut. Looking to join? The Regional Transportation Commissionโs got your back, with express buses from six locations. Brace yourselves for some heat, โcause itโs gonna be a sizzling party at 98 degrees. Got water? Youโll need it! ๐ง
Las Vegas is swapping the poker chips for hockey pucks, as Sin City preps to honor the Golden Knightsโ triumph over the Florida Panthers in a victory parade. The Knights sealed the deal with a smashing 9-3 victory in Game 5, bringing the Stanley Cup home in style.๐๐ฅ But hey, how exactly does one navigate a championship party in the middle of a desert metropolis?
The parade rolls out at 7 p.m., following the infamous Las Vegas Boulevard from Flamingo Road to Tropicana Avenue. Want to get a piece of the action? Plan ahead! Metro Police will start setting up restrictions from 3 p.m., lifting them around 11 p.m. If youโre thinking of bringing in a glass container or any bag larger than a purse, think again. Sorry folks, strollers, coolers, and drones wonโt make the cut either. And donโt even think about packing your fireworks or flares! ๐ฅ
Now, getting to the parade might seem like a quest in itself. But hold up! Have you heard about the Regional Transportation Commissionโs Game Day Express buses? Theyโve got six locations lined up to get you to the parade. Hop on at 4 p.m., 4:30 p.m., or 5 p.m., and youโll be dropped off at Excalibur Way. These magic buses will be ready to pick you up and whisk you away every half hour from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Talk about a chariot service, huh? ๐๐ด
But hold on, whatโs the weather forecast saying? We all know how Las Vegas likes to crank up the heat. And this time, weโre not talking about the slots! Weather service has it pegged at 98 degrees. The strip might even feel like a blazing 100 degrees! No rain or winds to dampen the spirits, just the blazing sun โ๏ธ. Remember to pack light, wear sunscreen, and hydrate. Pro tip: most resorts have water fountains near the bathrooms. Oh, and some also have water bottle refilling stations. ๐ฆ
Finding parking in Las Vegas can be as tough as finding a winning slot machine. But donโt worry! MGMโs event parking rates apply at Aria, Park MGM, New York-New York, Excalibur, and MGM Grand. Sorry Nevadans, local rates wonโt apply. Oh, and speaking of deals, businesses on and off the Strip will be holding events in conjunction with the parade. ๐๐ ฟ๏ธ
Thatโs your crash course on the Golden Knightsโ victory parade, folks! The paradeโs set to be as entertaining as a Vegas magic show. After all, itโs not every day that hockey takes center stage in the middle
