Overview
- The Clark County Commission unanimously approved the SHE Weekend parade and events on May 19, clearing a July 16–19 itinerary produced by She’s Got Game, LLC and partners.
- The parade is set to begin at 8 p.m. on July 16 at the Bellagio, proceed down Las Vegas Boulevard and end at Toshiba Plaza, where a concert and plaza programming are planned.
- Organizers say more than 100 Winter Olympians, including the U.S. women’s hockey team, are expected to attend and receive a ceremonial key to the Strip, but those attendance claims have not been independently verified.
- MGM Resorts is working with Flavor Flav’s group to stage the weekend, local pro teams including the Aces, Raiders and Golden Knights are listed as participants, and acts such as Public Enemy, Sheila E. and Blu DeTiger are scheduled to perform.
- The event began as Flavor Flav’s social-media invitations after recent U.S. women’s victories and is being framed by organizers as both a public celebration and a call to increase long-term visibility and support for women’s sports.
