The Harry Reid International Airport has more than 1400 slot machines to tempt travellers.

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but probably not on this occasion.

One lucky traveller hit the jackpot inside the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, collecting a whopping US$1.3 million from a slot machine. That’s just over NZ$2 million.

The airport confirmed the win in a tweet, along with a photo from another traveller.

”One lucky player cashed in BIG at LAS – winning $1.3 million dollars playing Wheel of Fortune Triple Double Emeralds in the Terminal 1 Esplanade. That’s one way to end a vacation – as a MILLIONAIRE!”

The lucky traveller has not been identified, but is probably the person who flew away with the biggest smile.

Las Vegas is a gambling mecca and the airport has more than 1400 machines to tempt travellers.
