Golden Knights continue their Strip tour with Lord Stanley in tow
Deliliah at Wynn Las Vegas is accustomed to famous visitors. Bruno Mars, Usher, Anderson .Paak, Justin Bieber, 50 Cent, Dennis Rodman and Jimmy Fallon with Justin Timberlake have ducked into the swanky Strip supper club.
Wednesday night it was the Golden Knights and the city’s favorite prop, the Stanley Cup. The entire squad took in a night of dining, music and hanging, says John Terzian, co-founder of venue operating partner h.wood Group.
Golden Knights players Mark Stone, Adin Hill, Logan Thompson, William Karlsson, Keegan Kolesar, Nicolas Hague, Nicolas Roy, Jonathan Marchessault, Jack Eichel, Reilly Smith, Ivan Barbashev and Zach Whitecloud were in the team’s latest Vegas tour stop.
The band who hit this hot night was Mecca Martini on vocals, backed by Ken Tolbert on piano, Blaise Sison on bass, Andrew Weir on guitar, TJ Green on drums and Rob Stone on sax.
The Stanley Cup, known as the most famous trophy in sports, was placed at the edge of the dancers’ platform, in the middle of the action.
Stone, a longtime sax favorite in Vegas, had just returned from an international tour with John Fogerty. Stone is also a regular at Delilah.
“I don’t really get star struck anymore but I definitely get excited about certain heroes of mine coming into my gig,” the musician posted on Facebook, Tonight is no exception as we host our entire Golden Knights team with Stanley sitting front and center. Too cool!!!”
The team arrived en masse and stayed until about 11:30 p.m., dining on a six-course meal from executive chef Joshua Smith and plenty of Screaming Eagle wine.
The Knights then walked the Cup through Wynn to end their evening with a packed house at Encore Beach Club at Night, where FAED duo DJ Five and EricDlux headlined. The night concluded with the team checking into Encore Tower Suites.
On Tuesday, the Golden Knights partied until about 4 a.m. at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace, with Steve Aoki manning the DJ booth. Prior to that very public adventure, the Golden Knights enjoyed a party of invited guests at Jewel Nightclub at Aria.
