Buildings across valley sport Golden Knights fandom

Southern Nevadans have gone overboard in their support of the Vegas Golden Knights.

Whether it’s a child in the schoolyard, the clerk at the grocery store or the bartender at your favorite establishment, many locals are proudly sporting team gear. That gold, silver and black seems to be everywhere, especially at local businesses.

Giant banners and other hockey displays are visible from many parts of the valley, and they are each over the top.

Here are a few:

New York-New York

The Statue of Liberty at the New York-New York on the northwest corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard greets visitors as they travel past the Golden Knights’ home facility of T-Mobile Arena.

The statue dons a massive 81-foot by 62-foot Golden Knights jersey, which took approximately 400 man hours to create. An estimated 6,000 square feet of material was used to create the jersey, which weighs 600 pounds.

Caesars Palace

As guests pull into Caesars Palace off Las Vegas Boulevard and Caesars Palace Way, the site’s namesake, Julius Caesar, triumphantly hoists a large Golden Knights flag in his right hand and 24-foot goalie stick in his left.

If the team keeps winning and makes it to the championship round, more Golden Knights swag might be coming his way, resort officials said.

“We are excited to support our first professional sports team here in Las Vegas and watch their continued success,” said Ryan Thompson, the vice president of hospitality marketing for Caesars Entertainment. “Caesar is an iconic figure on the Las Vegas Strip and has represented victory and triumph for more than 50 years. Caesar might have to up his game with additional Knights gear if they reach the Stanley Cup Finals.”

Bellagio

One of Strip’s most notable attractions helps usher in the victory celebration each time the Vegas Golden Knights win a playoff game.

The Fountains of Bellagio light and water show is played to the Knights’ unofficial victory song of “Viva Las Vegas” by Elvis.

Inside Bellagio Patisserie there is a 5-foot-tall Marc-Andre Fleury chocolate sculpture. Taking five weeks to complete, the sculpture consists of three types of chocolate and 20 pounds of Rice Krispy cereal, with an inner structure made of Styrofoam.

The replica foot-tall “Chocolate Fleury” sells for $40.

Aria

The living wall at the Aria Sky Suites porte cochere now includes a Golden Knights theme. Strewn throughout the greenery is a gold “Go Knights Go” banner and a hockey puck-shaped emblem sporting the team’s logo.

Before the team left for Winnipeg to start the Western Conference final last week, many players ate at the resort and posed for a photo in front of the wall.

Clark County Government Center

The Clark County building debuted its 48-foot-long by 7-foot-tall “Go, Knights, Go" banner this week.

“Since the first game of the season, the Vegas Golden Knights have given us many, many reasons to celebrate our home team,” said Steve Sisolak, chairman of the Clark County Commission. “Their historic success on the ice is truly remarkable and our community has really embraced the Knights. On game days, it seems like every other person I see is wearing a Golden Knights shirt, and anxiously waiting for the puck to drop.”

City of Las Vegas

City Hall in downtown shows its Golden Knights pride with the message “Go Knights Go” scrolling across six stories of its building. The scroll runs 24 hours a day but is best viewed at night when the sun goes down.

The Golden Knights logo is also on LED boards inside City Hall.

Also, one of the Las Vegas Fire & Rescue fire engines features a Golden Knights flag on the rear of the vehicle.

Venetian/Palazzo

The Venetian and Palazzo are displaying team imagery on their marquees each day Vegas is in the playoffs.

Credit One Bank

Credit One Bank, a major sponsor of the franchise, represents its Golden Knights pride at its newly constructed building off the 215 Beltway between Buffalo and Durango drives.

A huge Golden Knights banner encompasses three stories of the building and is visible to every motorist traveling on the 215.

High Impact Sign & Design

When traveling near U.S. 95 and the 215 Beltway interchange in Henderson, it is tough to miss the giant “Go Knights” banner hanging on the industrial building.

Although Henderson is a suburb of Las Vegas, it shows that the Golden Knights have truly swept the entire valley.

McCarran International Airport

When travelers are leaving and arriving at McCarran International Airport, they know immediately that Las Vegas is proud of its Golden Knights.

Curbside signage at the airport features “Go Knights Go” in addition to interior signage there.

If an opposing fan base is arriving to catch a game at T-Mobile Arena, they’ll be reminded right as they land of who runs this city. Additionally, as they’re leaving, with the Golden Knights' 5-1 home record in the playoffs, they’ll likely leave Vegas on a sour note with an ode to the team that likely handed their hometown squad a blemish on their record.

Henderson Pavilion

The grass at the Henderson Pavilion on Green Valley and Paseo Verde parkways is painted with the Golden Knights logo.

The artwork greets fans for the popular watch parties for away games hosted by Henderson. Games are shown on a 32-foot by 18-foot LED screen in the open-air amphitheater with stadium and grass seating, and a 40,000-square-foot canopy-style roof.

Downtown Events Center

At the Downtown Events Center, which alternates with Toshiba Plaza near T-Mobile Arena as the official away game watch party, the tables and chairs are organized in the Golden Knights logo for the estimated 2,000 attendees.

The outdoor center is located behind the D Las Vegas.
