Las Vegas, NV (September 1, 2023)—The Aces are calling on the Las Vegas community to “Raise the Stakes” in support of the Aces fifth straight trip to the WNBA Playoffs.
Fans will be able to sign a Good Luck banner at the final regular season game on September 10 at T–Mobile Arena. Tip is slated for 12 pm PT. The banner will be located on the main concourse outside of sections 10/11, and will be displayed at Aces Headquarters throughout the postseason.
The Aces have partnered with the Clark County School District to support the 2022 WNBA Champions and cheer on the hometown team as they play their way through the postseason. Schools and classrooms can “Raise the Stakes” for a chance to win exclusive Aces prizes. Photos and videos may be submitted via social media by tagging @LVaces and using #RaiseTheStakes. Students are also asked to cheer on the team by creating good luck posters to line the hallways of Aces headquarters. Interested teachers may reach out to the CCSD Community Engagement office for additional information.
The Aces Team Shop will host a pop-up shop at Aces Headquarters to give fans a chance to “Raise the Stakes” in the newest Aces gear. The pop-up shop will be open on Tuesday, September 12 from 2-7 pm PT at 1415 Raiders Way, Henderson, NV 89052. Limited Las Vegas Aces rally cards will also be available for fans to pick up at the Aces Team Shop (while supplies last) and show their support at home, work, school, or anywhere!
Businesses, fans and community organizations are encouraged to paint the town red by wearing Aces gear throughout the playoffs, displaying Aces memorabilia or turning lights red throughout the city.
