Vegas Golden Knights Streaming To Allow In-App Betting

Author Shawn Tempesta
The Vegas Golden Knights streaming service should be smooth as ice beginning Wednesday.

While watching the Vegas Golden Knights game on Sunday was painful, the team is sure that the next game you watch will go smoother – at least online. The Vegas Golden Knights streaming service, KnightTime+, is getting some upgrades beginning on Wednesday’s game in Toronto.

The team announced the upgrades alongside their streaming partner ViewLift and Scripps Sports. People that might have been a little apprehensive to shell out shekels for the service will be able to preview the game – and the streaming updates – absolutely free.

What Is Different About Vegas Golden Knights Streaming Experience

So what is new about the app? Does Chance the Gila Monster pop out of the screen? Can you vote to pull Adin Hill if he is a rough night? Not quite. But they are helpful additions.

First of all, they are totally re-doing the user interface. Depending on the design, that could be a welcomed edition. The original app felt a little bit half baked for some (including the author who couldn’t watch games full screen on his app). The stream should be more reliable as well.

For the bilingual (or singularly lingual who speak Spanish), you’ll be able to get live Spanish-language play-by-play along with the video broadcast. ¡Eso será de mucha ayuda! The service will also work a lot better on connected TVs and will connect you to be able to buy tickets to games or figure out who has the national broadcast on the games the streaming service won’t carry.

Live Sports Betting In-App

The biggest difference? Circa Sports will be integrated directly into the app. It is convenient for the sports betters out there, and for the non-betting populace, it might turn you into one.

KnightTime+, like the WWE Network before it, really blazed a new path for the NHL, streaming games directly to the fans outside of the broadcast area (Northern Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Mountain’s Edge who cannot tune in Vegas 34).

The service runs $69.99 and all the games that Vegas 34 carries (that is to say not the national games) can be seen on the app. It breaks down to around $1 per game. That is, of course, unless you start betting. That’ll either pay for the service or cost you 10 times as much.

Vegas Golden Knights Parade Electrifies Las Vegas Strip

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.
