Flavor Flav Plans Las Vegas ‘She Got Game’ Weekend With Key to the City for Team USA Women

The plan underscores a celebrity-led effort to recognize the team outside traditional White House ceremonies.

Overview

  • Flavor Flav, who spoke to TMZ on Monday, said he will host the U.S. women’s hockey team in Las Vegas from July 16–19 with a parade, party, and a public proclamation.
  • He said the players will receive a key to the city, a ceremonial honor from local leaders, though no public confirmation from Las Vegas officials has been reported.
  • The celebration follows the team’s decision to skip the customary White House visit, which the squad attributed to a scheduling conflict after the Olympics.
  • Coverage also cited President Donald Trump’s earlier joke about having to invite the women’s team, a remark that fed debate over how champions are honored.
  • The U.S. women won gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics by beating Canada 2–1 in overtime, and the Vegas weekend is billed as a broader salute to women’s sports with local hosts lining up activities.
