Hockey Hearts in Neon Lights: How to Watch the VGK in Las Vegas (Without Getting Lost in the Shuffle)
So, you're in Vegas, baby! City of lights, endless buffets, and...ice hockey? You bet! The Vegas Golden Knights, or VGK for those in the know (which you will be by the end of this post), are a force to be reckoned with on the ice. But how do you catch the action when you're surrounded by slot machines and showgirls? Fear not, hockey fan, this guide will have you cheering like a champion in no time.
Finding Your Golden Ticket: Broadcast Bonanza
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
First things first, there are two main ways to watch the VGK in Vegas:
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
Channel Surfing like a Champ: If you're staying at a hotel or vacation rental, there's a good chance they have cable or satellite TV. Look for Scripps Sports, which is the official broadcaster for the VGK in the Las Vegas area. It's usually on Channel 34, but double-check your hotel's channel guide to be sure. Pro-Tip: Befriend the housekeeping staff. They'll be your secret weapon for navigating the TV remote from the Paleozoic Era.
Cutting the Cord, Not the Fun: Gone are the days of bulky cable boxes! If you're a streaming service kind of person, there are options for you too. KnightTime+, the team's own streaming service, offers live and on-demand games, but only for in-market viewers (sorry, folks from out of town). Other streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV might also carry Scripps Sports, but check their channel listings first.
Bonus Round: Catching the Game On-the-Go
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
Can't be chained to the TV? No problem! The VGK Radio Network broadcasts all the games, so you can listen to the action live on the radio or stream it online. (Pro-Tip: Pack some headphones, because screaming "Go Knights Go!" in the middle of a casino might get you some strange looks.)
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
