LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Strong winds in Las Vegas on Thursday prompted a last-minute location change for a Vegas Golden Knights watch party at Circa hotel-casino and forced a few other events around the valley to cancel.
SIMILAR: Power outages impacting downtown, east Las Vegas traffic
The Golden Knights watch party was originally planned for Stadium Swim, Circa's pool. The downtown resort says the event is still on but instead of being poolside, the watch party has moved to its Level 3 Fight Warehouse.
🏒 UPDATE: Our official @GoldenKnights Watch Party has been moved to our Level 3 Fight Warehouse due to high winds.
