Las Vegas Strip Parade for WNBA Champs Celebrates City’s First Major Sports WinPosted on: September 19, 2022, 11:30h. The Las Vegas Strip’s busiest block will shut down Tuesday for a parade and rally celebrating the Las Vegas Aces’ WNBA championship win. The Las Vegas team’s win also marks the first time any major-league sports team from Las Vegas has won a sports championship. Working against Las Vegas at the time was the presence of legalized sports betting, which was frowned upon by many league commissioners. The Golden Knights have played to packed houses since 2017 — and the Las Vegas Raiders since 2021 — without a sports betting scandal.
