HENDERSON (KTNV) — Las Vegas is quickly becoming the city of champions, giving Southern Nevadans plenty to celebrate.
"This is amazing, you have to be there," one local said.
One such celebration happened Thursday evening at M Resort as the Vegas Knight Hawks hosted a party in honor of their first-ever IFL National Championship.
WATCH| We caught up with the team as they prepared for the first championship game in franchise history:
Head Coach Mike Davis, his coaching staff, and Knight Hawks players were in attendance to spend time with their fans.
"It's big having a village behind you no matter what you do, and the village in Vegas in amazing," Knight Hawks wideout Quentin Randolph said.
The Championship celebration included team meet and greets, giveaways and prizes.

"It's a very personable team, everybody knows everybody, I'm very very proud of the players," one local said.
