LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — It was "A Golden Knight" Sunday at Intrigue Nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas during the Vegas Golden Knights' annual charity gala.
The event gave fans an opportunity to experience the team like never before, while raising money for the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation.
Fans were given exclusive access to the players for photos and autographs, and the chance to bid on opportunities to hang out with the guys.
A top-tier Stanley Cup Championship ring sold for $86,000 and a birthday party with the furriest member of the Knights, Marverick, auctioned for more than $7,000.

The entire team, minus captain Mark Stone and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo, was in attendance. Even newly acquired forward Tomas Hertl made an appearance.

Channel 13 anchor Tricia Kean caught up with Knights owner Bill Foley about where the money raised Sunday night is going and how the foundation aims to build up the Southern Nevada community.

The night included opportunities for the players and fans to interact and have some fun along the way, including swapping their hockey sticks for serving trays!

The players chipped in for the fundraising event as well, including William 'Wild Bill' Karlsson and Brayden McNabb at a carving station and many other players serving up fan's favorite drinks behind the bar.
