Overview

  • Flavor Flav publicly invited the gold‑medal U.S. women’s hockey team to Las Vegas, offering dinners, shows, and help securing travel and hotel support.
  • Alaska Airlines, Resorts World Las Vegas, and StubHub signaled backing, with additional travel and entertainment brands expressing interest on social media.
  • The team said it could not attend President Trump’s State of the Union due to previously scheduled academic and professional commitments.
  • Newsweek reports the team has reportedly accepted the Vegas invitation, though no formal confirmation of event details or timing has been issued.
  • Logistics remain uncertain as players return to NHL and PWHL obligations, and Trump previously referenced inviting the women’s team during a congratulatory call with the men’s squad.
