The Vegas Golden Knights generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue each year. And the third-year NHL team also generates a lot of money for their non-profit foundation, too.

On Tuesday night, the VGK fundraiser dubbed, “Knight to Remember,” was projected to make about $1 million at a swanky event at the Wynn XS nighclub where players and fans left their Golden Knights jerseys at home and donned fancy suits and dresses for the gala money-maker.

LVSportsBiz.com’s favorite auction item was this electric low-rider bicycle signed by the VGK players, including signatures by goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and Mark Stone on the two-wheeler’s headlamp.

It cost a fan $500 to get into the swanky fund-raiser. They posed for photos with players and drank champagne.
