Warriors take championship party to Vegas for weekend
The Golden State Warriors' party went out of state after the parade Thursday, as the team arrived at ARIA Resort and Casino in Las Vegas to celebrate their second championship in three years.
Team owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber flew with the players on one of MGM Resorts' private jets, according to ESPN's Arash Markazi.

The Warriors will be in town for the weekend to take in the light heavyweight championship bout between Oakland native Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev. Ward and Kevin Durant are both represented by Roc Nation.
"Those guys always come out and show love," Ward said. "It's a very close-knit community. Even though the Bay Area can be considered big sometimes, in some cases it's really not. The love is mutual. They put on for me and show me a lot of love and respect, and I do the same."
