NSFW video: Before parade in Cleveland, Cavs party in Vegas

The Cavaliers' victory parade in Cleveland won't be until Wednesday and is still a work in progress.

LeBron James' squad, who pulled a miraculous comeback to win the NBA title Sunday night, made a pit stop at a Las Vegas nightclub on their way from Oakland, Calif., to Cleveland early Monday.

The champs were welcomed at XS Las Vegas - the lavish, gold-accented dance club in the Encore hotel owned by casino magnate Steve Wynn - by rows of scantly clad servers in Cavs jerseys.

The club posted a video of the festivities on Facebook.

ESPN's Arash Markazi had several tweets from inside the club, including one of former Georgia Tech star Iman Shumpert stripping off his shirt during a dance.

James and the Cavs arrived in Cleveland after 12:30 p.m. Monday.
