Club owners Reynolds and McElhenney covered all costs for the entire trip, meaning none of the players had to spend a penny.
And Foster, 40, has since revealed his estimation of how much the Hollywood duo spent on the festivities.
Speaking on , the goalkeeper said: "I went on the Vegas trip... it was hard work, mate, honestly.
"The way that Rob McElhenney and Ryan (Reynolds) put it on for us, laid it on for us, was just like nothing I've ever seen.

"We got there and it was just straight to the shower, get changed, go to Hakkasan for dinner and then we're going to Hakkasan nightclub straight afterwards. All expenses paid.
"Got to be £500,000... had to be at least half a million. Genuinely it had to be because they just looked after everything."
Wrexham's four-day trip to Vegas included several pool parties and nightclub visits.
On their first night in Sin City, the players were invited to the exclusive Hakkasan restaurant where they enjoyed a meal before moving on to the Hakkasan nightclub.

Upon arriving at the extravagant club, the Red Dragons were greeted with a Wrexham song and a highlight reel including the club's best moments from the 2022-23 campaign.
The club badge was also projected onto the wall and ceiling while the players enjoyed the VIP treatment.
Foster added: "We walk in and whatever's playing, the music shuts off and they start playing a Wrexham song.
"We've got a massive closed off VIP area, and there's Wrexham drapes falling from the ceiling, poppers going off everywhere with confetti, glitter.
"There's a screen and it's showing like Paul Mullin scoring goals and stuff like that!
"It's 1am and they've stopped the music and they're putting this stuff on, and every one of us is just going 'What on Earth's going on here?!'"
Foster came out of retirement to join Wrexham in March.
The former Manchester United star signed a short-term contract until the end of the season, but club chiefs are set to hold talks with him to establish whether or not he will continue at the club.
