The Aces unveiled their championship parade plans Friday, as the franchise celebrates its second consecutive WNBA championship.

Their parade, scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, will take a short route from the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard up toward T-Mobile Arena, where the Aces will celebrate with fans at Toshiba Plaza. Fans are encouraged to gather along the parade route and can begin accessing Toshiba Plaza at 3 p.m.

Vegas, are you ready?! 🏆🍾

See you at Toshiba Plaza for the Championship Celebration this Monday, October 23rd!#RaiseTheStakes // #WNBAChampions pic.twitter.com/WKuaOncABn

The Aces held their parade on Las Vegas Boulevard and set up a stage in front of the Fountains of Bellagio after winning their first championship in 2022. But the construction of Formula One grandstands in the same location have made this route unavailable.

Coach Becky Hammon’s team won the 2023 championship by defeating the New York Liberty 3-1 in the WNBA Finals. The Aces are the first team to become repeat champions in 21 years.
