‘We’re just getting started’ As fans celebrate city’s first pro sports championship, Aces aware that franchise is positioned for continued success By Mike Grimala

On Sunday, the Las Vegas Aces delivered the city its first major league sports championship. On Tuesday, the city delivered for the Aces, as several thousand fans packed the area around the Bellagio fountains for the team’s historic title celebration. The atmosphere was one of triumph as the Aces rallied to commemorate the franchise’s victory against the Connecticut

Sun in the WNBA Finals. Two-time league MVP A’ja Wilson was the ringleader among the players, taking the stage with the WNBA championship trophy in one hand and a seemingly bottomless champagne bottle in the other. Finals MVP Chelsea Gray drew “MVP” chants throughout the day, while star guard Kelsey Plum chomped on a giant cigar. Fans lined Las Vegas Boulevard and packed into a temporary plaza in front of the Bellagio fountains, tossing jerseys, towels and other memorabilia to the play-

The Aces relocated to Las Vegas in 2018, and in their fifth season, the team posted a 26-10 record, rolling to the top overall seed in the playoffs. They faced off against Connecticut in the Finals, and with Gray leading the way, clinched their first crown with a 78-71 win in Game 4. Team owner Mark Davis took the stage first and spoke directly to the fans. “Las Vegas, we are world champions,” Davis said. “I just can’t thank you all enough. Without you, we couldn’t have
done it.” Gov. Steve Sisolak further set the tone for the festivities by declaring Tuesday to be Las Vegas Aces Day. “It took a group of women to bring the first championship to Las Vegas,” Sisolak said. “We are so proud of these ladies for what they did, not just on the court but off the court. They are role models in our community. Every young gal has to know if you can dream it, you can achieve it, because that’s what they have done, and [[See See Aces, Page 8 8]]
