Ben Hutton Is A Barbie Girl – Watch Golden Knight Sing Aqua Track

There is an old saying... a picture is worth a thousands words. Well, how many words is a video worth? We are sure Vegas Golden Knights defensemen Ben Hutton has a few choice ones for the Knights social media team today in celebration of the Barbie movie.

Obviously the planet has turned into a Barbie world with the release of the new flick in theaters this weekend. Heck even the Circa Las Vegas has been taken over by the hype! Thankfully through the magic of magnetic tape, someone with the Knights were able to treat the world to a Ben Hutton we didn't know until now.

Oh boy. Ben unleashed this performance on the world back at the Vancouver Canucks 30th anniversary event. If you didn't know, his first four seasons he was with the Knights Western Conference rival. He is giving his body to the performance much to the delight of the fans, and horror of those on stage. We honestly didn't know he had it in him.

Ben will not be running away in embarrassment anytime soon. He has a contract was signed back in March 2022 for a two year, $850,000 per year deal. In the 2022-23 season, Hutton scored three goals and five assists over 31 games.

After he won the Stanley Cup back in June (remember that?!) he told someone he was willing to do it at the parade! We never got a chance to see that, and frankly we feel cheated. We demand a re-do. Maybe next June?

Something tells us he isn't paying much attention to the new attention. He's a Stanley Cup Champion and gets his day with the cup on August 25th, bringing it to his hometown of Prescott, Ontario, Canada.

Somehow, we thought Ivan Barbashev would be a shoe-in for this.

On Saturday, a sea of people twinkling gold, silver and black overtook the Las Vegas Strip in celebration of the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup Parade.

Over 100,000 people squished in the narrow streets of Las Vegas Boulevard with Toshiba Plaza reaching capacity before the parade even started.

It was a true celebration done with Las Vegas fanfare with some of the players getting noticeably inebriated during the parade.

We even got a treat from William Karlsson, who delivered one of the best drunk speeches of all time. It made no sense, yet the message was clear: They did it for the city, and they brought home the team's first-ever Stanley Cup.

Someone involved with the team tried to snatch the microphone from him a few times amid the post-parade rally, but they were unsuccessful. Finally, someone was able to quell his slurred speech of fiery happiness by confiscating the microphone.

During the parade, the busses of players, coaches, and family members crept past the eager crowd. People and players who were in the parade could be seen pouring shaken beers across the cacophony of people, allowing the gold liquid to explode among the crowd.

The Las Vegas Strip became packed to the brim with people, many of who were wearing their shiniest and brightest VGK gear. The buzzing chant of "GO KNIGHTS GO," could be heard throughout the parade route.

After the parade, the party continued in Toshiba Plaza. It was equally as chaotic and celebratory with the entire team displayed among the fortress stage.

Music blared, people cheered and the energy was colorful with celebration. People from Las Vegas and across the country were enjoying the few hours of the Vegas Golden Knights Parade and essentially party. The Strip was shut down and within those few hours, the city felt connected and together.

Bruce Cassidy spoke humble words saying that it was an honor to coach the team. Mark Stone's speech was filled with the emotional ups and downs that came with this win. Other players drunkenly gushed about how good winning the Cup felt while also thanking the fans.

As the streamers, confetti and lights flashed across Toshiba Plaza, this scene was an emblem of the true meaning behind this win: From the ashes of darkness, light and greatness will rise.

GO. KNIGHTS. GO.

We don't know if you've heard, but the Barbie movie comes out on Friday. Shocking, right? It's like they've done no pre-promotion. Well, Circa Las Vegas is celebrating the premiere by becoming a Barbie Dream Casino™ through Sunday!

They premiered the pinkness across the property on Tuesday night, featuring a pinked out casino lights and digital billboards. The Garage Mahal? It's pink! The drinks? Those are pink too! Plus the pool is something that'd make Ken rip off his shirt in 0.2 seconds.

“‘Barbie’ fever is sweeping the nation, and we knew we had to do something fun to honor one of the biggest icons of the last 60+ years,” said Circa head honcho Derek Stevens. “We are thrilled Warner Bros. Pictures has welcomed Circa to be a part of Barbie’s story as she hits the big screen this summer.”

At Stadium Swim, you'll find a life-sized Barbie box that is perfect for your next Instagram gallery. They've got a ton of different stuff to try on including sunglasses and props. There is even Barbie-themed bottle service! Yes. Barbie can drink now.

Oh, and Barbie has plenty of drinks to choose from. Does the Dream Daquiri or Dream Shot sound delicious? How about a Pink Paradise or Malibu Sunshine? You'll find the special themed drinks throughout the property.

From the Airbnb listing to the constant barrage of PR and interviews, Barbie has hit the news more than ever lately. Turns out there are dollars behind that press. The movie had a budget north of $140 million. But it turns out the marketing budget is just as beefy. There are rumors that the marketing campaign for the new flick, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is about $100 million on its own! That's a lot of play money.
