Max Pacioretty’s first day as a Golden Knight had him on cloud nine, but he literally touched the clouds when the team took him for a helicopter ride over the Strip.

Once he was in the air, Pacioretty got a feel for his new city as the various landmarks in Las Vegas were pointed out to him.

Casinos around the city flipped their marquees to welcome Pacioretty to town, triggering this great photo of him taking in the view.
