LAS VEGAS — October 11, 2025 — The Las Vegas Aces have done it again. With grit, poise, and championship composure, the Aces captured their third WNBA title in four years, cementing themselves as one of the most dominant dynasties in modern women’s basketball.

The victory came on their home court at Michelob ULTRA Arena, located inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, in the district of Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft. The arena roared as fans in black, white, and silver erupted in celebration, waving towels that read #AllIn and #RaiseTheStakes — rallying cries that have defined this team’s relentless pursuit of excellence.

Commissioner Naft Congratulates the Champions

Following the Aces’ championship win, Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft congratulated the team for once again bringing pride to the Las Vegas community and inspiring a new generation of athletes.

“The Las Vegas Aces continue to set the standard for teamwork, perseverance, and championship culture,” Naft said. “Winning three titles in four years is extraordinary, and they’ve done it while representing Las Vegas and Clark County with class and determination. Congratulations to our champions!”

Naft’s district includes the Mandalay Bay complex and the surrounding Las Vegas Strip area — home to some of the region’s most iconic venues, including the Aces’ arena and T-Mobile Arena.

A Dynasty in the Making

The Las Vegas Aces’ run over the past four seasons has redefined what excellence looks like in professional basketball. Led by Head Coach Becky Hammon, the team has built a powerhouse known for unselfish play, defensive toughness, and offensive balance.

Since relocating from San Antonio to Las Vegas in 2018, the Aces have quickly become the pride of Southern Nevada. Backed by passionate fans and the ownership of Mark Davis, who also owns the Las Vegas Raiders, the franchise has thrived both on and off the court.

Hammon’s leadership has been instrumental, turning the Aces into perennial contenders. The team’s core — including A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young — has formed one of the most cohesive and talented units in league history.

Wilson, a multiple-time WNBA MVP, once again delivered a performance worthy of Finals MVP honors, dominating both ends of the floor and leading her teammates with poise and energy.

“We don’t take moments like this for granted,” Wilson said in her post-game press conference. “Winning in front of our city, in front of our fans, means everything. This one’s for Las Vegas.”

A Championship for Las Vegas

The Aces’ win is more than just another trophy — it’s a testament to Las Vegas’ growing reputation as America’s sports capital. From hosting the NFL’s Raiders and NHL’s Golden Knights to being the home of Formula 1, Super Bowl LVIII, and the NBA’s In-Season Tournament, Las Vegas continues to shine on the global stage.

Commissioner Naft emphasized how the Aces’ success reflects the city’s momentum.

“Our community has embraced sports like never before,” Naft said. “The Aces’ success shows that Las Vegas is not only the entertainment capital of the world — it’s also a championship city.”

The celebration stretched far beyond the arena. Fans gathered on the Strip, in sports bars, and around viewing parties citywide to cheer on the Aces. Many locals noted how the team’s back-to-back championships and continued dominance have inspired young athletes across Clark County, particularly young women who see themselves represented at the highest level of competition.

Economic and Cultural Impact

The Aces’ presence has had a measurable economic impact on Southern Nevada. Home games routinely sell out, drawing thousands of fans to the Michelob ULTRA Arena and nearby hotels, restaurants, and attractions. The franchise has also played a major role in expanding Las Vegas’ identity beyond gaming and entertainment — toward community, sportsmanship, and empowerment.

Local businesses, from Downtown to the Strip, have benefited from the surge in foot traffic and tourism tied to Aces games and WNBA playoff events. In addition, youth basketball programs across the valley have reported increased participation since the Aces began their championship streak.

Looking Ahead

With three titles in four years, the Las Vegas Aces are now firmly in the conversation among the greatest dynasties in WNBA history. As celebrations continue throughout Clark County, fans are already wondering: can they make it four in five?

For now, Las Vegas will savor this victory — a win not just for a team, but for an entire city that continues to prove it can do anything.
