It looks like there’s going to be a parade soon on the Las Vegas Strip.

A ceremony for the Aces is in the works if they win the WNBA championship.

It would be the first major-league professional sports championship in the city’s history.

The Aces play Game 3 Thursday night in Connecticut against the Sun. A win will give them a sweep in the best-of-five final series. The Aces won both games this week at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay.

Details on the parade will come later.

Trooper Ashlee Wellman promised the parade during a promotional video released Wednesday.

“Not only do we support them but we are so proud of them that if they bring home that championship we are going to do a parade down that Strip,” Wellman said on a video that showed off two gray NSP cruisers with new Aces logos on the hood.

A watch party is being held on Water Street in Henderson for the game starting at 6 p.m. Thursday. The watch party will feature prize giveaways and a live DJ. Fans are also encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets and coolers with food and drinks.

The game is on ESPN.
