Aces greeted by airport grounds crew upon return to Vegas
Fresh off their second straight WNBA championship, the Aces were showered with praise — literally. Or, at least their plane was.
Officials at Harry Reid International Airport welcomed back the Aces to Las Vegas on Thursday morning with a celebratory blast of water on the runway.
We are getting used to this! 🏆😎

The Aces hung on for a 70-69 victory on Wednesday night over the New York Liberty, clinching the finals series 3 games to 1.
Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft, on his X account, was shown polishing Keys to the Strip to give to the Aces and hinted that the celebration will be held Monday.
