On Tuesday, Flavor Flav’s “SHE Weekend” was approved by Clark County commissioners in a unanimous vote. They approved the plan for a parade on July 16, 2026, at 8 p.m., starting at the Bellagio and heading south on the Strip to Toshiba Plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena.

According to KLAS, Flavor Flav told the commissioners, “Thank you for giving me the opportunity and I’m honored.” His manager, Rhiannon Rae Ellis added, “What started off as just an innocent tweet to support and celebrate female athletes has really turned into a movement. These Olympians really represent the best of us in the country, and they should have a celebration that recognizes that.” 

He also made sure to share how much he loves the city and his gratitude for getting the city’s approval for his event.

“Las Vegas is my city. This is the best city. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity for these girls,” he said to the commissioners. “This is going to be real big. It’s going to be a historical event.”

In late April, Flav shared some information on IG about what he’s planning, introducing the event as Flavor Flav’s “SHE Weekend” on July 16 to 19 in Las Vegas.

“It started with a tweet. Now it’s a movement. Three days. Some of the most elite women athletes on the planet. Sports, Hospitality, and Entertainment — that’s SHE Weekend. But SHE is bigger than a weekend,” he wrote in the caption of his Instagram post. “In 1998, Public Enemy told the world He Got Game. Now the world knows — She Got Game, too. ‘She living that Trophy Life, so go rebrand a Trophy Wife’. We’re focused on real impact. For women’s sports. For women athletes. For what comes next.”

The comment section lit up with praise for all the rapper is doing for the women athletes.

“This is epic!!!” one person wrote. Another said, “Yeaa booyy!! that’s why we bet on SHE!! No better way to celebrate these amazing women!” And one other wrote, “Thank you @flavorflavofficial for being our ally, absolutely love this!!”

Earlier this year, Flavor Flav took to X to share a message for the USA Women’s Hockey team after they declined a visit to Washington, D.C.

“If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite, I’ll host them in Las Vegas,” he wrote. “Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real.”

He also took to his IG page to share more information about his idea.

“FLAVOR FLAV::: Cuz this wasn’t big enough,,, I wanna invite ALL the female Olympic and Paralympic medalists from the United States out to Vegas and we got you covered,, we gonna do some nice dinners, throw a big party and a parade and a concert,,, and go to some concerts and shows,” he wrote in his caption. “Thankx to all the companies and brands and musicians and entertainers who reached out.
