Golden Knights to hold Stanley Cup parade Saturday night on Vegas strip

Vegas is shutting down the strip for the Stanley Cup.

The Golden Knights' championship parade will take place Saturday night on Las Vegas Boulevard, the team announced Wednesday.

The parade route will start at Flamingo Road at 7 p.m. PT and extend to Tropicana Boulevard, with both sides of Las Vegas Boulevard closed for the festivities. The event will conclude with a rally at Toshiba Plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena approximately two hours later.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's champagne and cognac company, Sire Spirits, will be a co-sponsor of the parade. The Golden Knights entered into a multi-year partnership with the brand earlier Wednesday.

The Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup for the first time in their sixth season when they vanquished the Florida Panthers with a 9-3 rout in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
