The most famous trophy in sports is about to star on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Stanley Cup will join Tom Brady’s seven Super Bowl rings at the Hall of Excellence at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday.
Brady’s baubles are presented under glass in the second-floor attraction. The space is open to the public with a $35 admission ($30 for Nevada residents, seniors and military members).
There is no extra cost to check out the Cup. The attraction’s normal business hours are 10 a.m. Thursdays through Mondays.
The legendary quarterback is represented in the Hall by his Tom Brady Family Collection, alongside broadcast great Jim Gray and his wife, Frann Vettor-Gray. The museum is an ongoing attraction authorized and supported by Fontainebleau Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Soffer.
The Cup will be exhibited in the Hall’s trophy room, alongside the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl LIII Lombardi Trophy from their 13-3 victory over the Rams in 2019; the Yankees’ 1998 World Series Commissioner’s Trophy for their sweep of the Padres; and the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2021 Larry O’Brien NBA Finals trophy for their 4-2 series victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Hall of Excellence Director Howard Deneroff feels the power of Lord Stanley in this event.
“The trophy room at the Hall of Excellence is already a magical, iconic attraction,” Deneroff said Saturday morning, “but to add the most famous trophy in sports to it takes it to another level.”
The Stanley Cup is famously toured and exhibited in many public settings. The Cup made a surprise visit to Bill Belichick’s University of North Carolina football offices on Thursday. In September 2023, the Cup was delivered to University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
We enjoyed time with the trophy as players hoisted it from the DJ booth at Omnia Nightclub after the Golden Knights’ 2023 triumph over the Florida Panthers. The Cup also made the rounds at Wynn Las Vegas, Encore Beach Club and XS Nightclub.
More than 300 items are on display at the Hall of Excellence, which opened in June 2025. A partial list of items, which span sports and entertainment:
Brady’s seven Super Bowl rings, from his six Patriots victories and one with the Buccaneers; Michael Jordan’s first pair of Air Jordans (1984) and first NBA championship shoes (1991 NBA Finals); the bat used by Jackie Robinson when he broke baseball’s color barrier (1947); Muhammad Ali’s gloves from his fight against George Chuvalo (1966); a U.S. Olympic Dream Team jersey and opening ceremony uniform (1992); Clint Eastwood’s Academy Award for “Unforgiven” (1993); Kobe Bryant’s jersey from his first nationally televised game (1996); the golf ball used by Tiger Woods during his first Masters victory (1997); Billie Jean King’s tennis dress (1974); Oprah Winfrey’s Presidential Medal of Freedom (2013) and Tony Award for “The Color Purple” (2016); Aces WNBA championship rings (2022, 2023); a Golden Knights Stanley Cup championship ring (2023), and golf balls and baseballs signed by U.S. presidents dating to Woodrow Wilson.
Brady didn’t mind brushing against hyperbole in his remarks opening the attraction in June 2025.
“There’s no greater destination in the world for this ‘Smithsonian’ of sports artifacts,” the seven-time Super Bowl champ and Raiders investor said. “In fact, I don’t think the Smithsonian can handle what we put together.”
