"I love the watch party here at the Circa," a fan said.
The event was the first watch party of the season. It featured visits from the VGK cast and raffle prizes, including tickets to future Golden Knights games. Anyone wearing VGK gear got in for free.

"We’ve come back from worst before so there is always a chance," a fan said.
The Golden Knights ended the regular season with a 39-26-17 record and 95 overall points. Fans are already looking forward to Game 4.
"Game 4 we’ll go ahead and sweep that, Game 5 is here at home. We got it," a fan said.
Game 4 is scheduled for Monday at the Delta Center. Game 5 will be on Wednesday, bringing the Golden Knights back home to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

"We're gonna have a watch party at the Blue Light Theater at Fontainebleau, um, and then hopefully many more as we kind of go through the playoffs," Santero said.
