BUCKET$

About BUCKET$

A black-tailed jackrabbit native of the Mojave Desert with origins in Utah and Texas, this furry creature hopped his way from the desert to Las Vegas in the Spring of 2018. 

After a long trek in the desert heat, the hare was found resting behind Michelob ULTRA Arena where he was pulled out of a hat by his foot by the Aces who were in search for a new home themselves. The basketball team adopted the rabbit and nicknamed him “BUCKET$” – a name fitting for the hare by a basketball team in the city of Las Vegas. BUCKET$ became the mascot and a symbol of good luck for the Aces. From that day forward, BUCKET$ became the mascot, good-luck charm and one of the most recognizable personalities of the Las Vegas Aces. 

In 2022, BUCKET$ earned his 3rd All-Star selection as a mascot, was the WNBA’s Mascot of the Year, and helped will and cheer his beloved Aces to the city’s first professional Championship – just a few of the many things on BUCKET$’ list.

Since arriving in Las Vegas, BUCKET$ has become an integral part of the Aces game-day experience, entertaining fans, rallying the crowd and bringing his own brand of energy, personality and mischief to The House. He has also become an ambassador for the Aces throughout Southern Nevada, bringing smiles to fans well beyond game day. 

2026 was another big year for BUCKET$. As the Aces celebrated their 30th season in the WNBA, BUCKET$ was front and center for one of the most memorable seasons in franchise history. He continued to entertain fans at The House while making appearances throughout the Las Vegas community, including the Opportunity Village Touch-A-Truck event, the Meadows School’s Western-themed carnival, the annual Juneteenth Festival and other Aces community initiatives. He even had a bobblehead created in his honor as part of the Aces’ 30th-season celebration. 

And while BUCKET$ loves game days, his favorite place to be is wherever there are people ready to have a good time. He loves being booked for community events, corporate events, holiday celebrations, birthday parties and special occasions — bringing his signature energy, personality and a little bit of BUCKET$ mischief wherever he goes. Fans can even book BUCKET$ for appearances through Aces Entertainment. 

Looking ahead to the 2027 season, BUCKET$ is ready for another year of making memories, entertaining the greatest fans in the world and finding new ways to connect with Aces fans both inside and outside The House. He’s looking forward to more game-day adventures, more community appearances, more laughs, more surprises — and, of course, another opportunity to help his beloved Aces chase another championship. 

With his signature style, larger-than-life personality and unwavering love for the Aces, BUCKET$ continues to be a symbol of the team, the city and the greatest fans in the world.
