Westgate Las Vegas Forms Strategic Alliance with Las Vegas Aces for Thrilling Fan Experiences
The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino has recently taken an exciting step by establishing a partnership with the Las Vegas Aces, a prominent team in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). This strategic alliance aims to enhance fan experiences during the basketball season and showcases the Westgate's ongoing commitment to providing unforgettable moments for sports enthusiasts.
Cami Christensen, the President and General Manager of Westgate Las Vegas, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the Aces as a team that exemplifies excellence, determination, and community engagement.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Las Vegas Aces, an incredible team that embodies excellence, determination, and the spirit of our great city," Christensen stated. She emphasized the importance of supporting not just the team but the community it serves, reflecting on the Aces' impressive track record of community involvement and outreach. The success of the Aces in securing back-to-back WNBA championships has brought great pride to the city, underscoring their status as a beacon of success in women's sports.
The partnership will see Westgate Las Vegas sponsoring featured segments during Aces games broadcast locally. This initiative allows fans to engage more deeply with the games they love, fostering a sense of community among both basketball fans and gamers alike. Additionally, Westgate is set to present one of the Aces' exclusive home game giveaways in 2025, creating more opportunities for fans to participate in exciting events surrounding the team's performances.
Nikki Fargas, President of the Las Vegas Aces, has echoed similar excitement towards this collaboration, highlighting the parallels between the experiences offered by the Aces and Westgate Las Vegas.
"The two-time WNBA champion Aces put the finest basketball talent on the court while producing the best fan experience in the league, and that mirrors what Westgate Las Vegas does for locals and visitors alike," Fargas remarked. This sentiment captures the essence of what this partnership means; a joining of forces that amplifies the enjoyment for sports fans and guests at the venue.
Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino stands as an iconic destination known for its rich variety of gaming, dining, and entertainment options. From the legendary Race & Sports SuperBook®—which features the state's largest wagering system with state-of-the-art HD video screens—to a collection of dining establishments, including the award-winning Edge Steakhouse and Benihana, Westgate promises an unparalleled experience. The venue has recently undergone nearly $300 million in renovations, enhancing not just aesthetics but also the overall guest experience.
The Las Vegas Aces, originally established as the Utah Starzz, have a rich history in women’s basketball. Their move to Las Vegas has rejuvenated the franchise, especially following their championship wins in 2022 and 2023, marking them as a formidable presence in the sports community.
The Aces are not only making headlines for their success on the court; they also have a remarkable off-court presence. Their state-of-the-art training headquarters, which opened in 2022, represents a significant investment in the future of women’s professional basketball. In March 2024, the team achieved another milestone as the first WNBA franchise to sell out its season ticket allotment, indicating a growing fanbase and renewed enthusiasm for the team.
With this partnership, both the Westgate and the Las Vegas Aces are poised to create unique experiences that resonate with fans and strengthen their shared community. It is an exciting time for supporters of both the resort and the basketball team, as they look forward to a season filled with thrilling games, high-energy entertainment, and unforgettable memories. This collaboration truly reflects the spirit of Las Vegas, where entertainment and sports continue to thrive and inspire.
