Guests at Rio and Virgin Hotels Las Vegas scored six-figure jackpots over the weekend, with additional wins reported at Binion’s, Four Queens, and M Resort. The payouts highlight a streak of luck for visitors at off-Strip and downtown properties.
Several off-Strip and downtown Las Vegas hotels saw guests walk away with substantial jackpots over the weekend, as both locals and visitors hit major wins on slot machines and video poker across the valley.
At Rio Las Vegas, located just west of the Strip, Idaho visitor Jeremiah “Jeremy” Deweese claimed a $153,362 Dragon Link grand progressive jackpot on Saturday. According to the property, Deweese was in town for the Front Row Card Show and scored the six-figure payout with a $50 spin in the high-limit slots area.
Meanwhile, to the east, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas reported a $100,000 win on a Jacks or Better video poker machine. The guest, who has not been publicly identified, made a $125 bet to secure the payout over the weekend.
Additional Jackpots Across the Valley
Virgin Hotels Las Vegas also saw Ana from California win $11,303.81 on a Fortune Frenzy Grand machine, while another guest took home $15,457.45 from a $12.50 bet on a Dragon Link slot.
Downtown, Binion’s celebrated a $12,198 jackpot on Dragon Link, won by a guest named Mindy who turned a $1 bet into a five-figure payout. Four Queens Hotel and Casino reported that Wendy from Alabama hit an $11,466 jackpot on the Rich Little Hens slot with a $5 wager.
In Henderson, M Resort awarded an $11,829.08 Grand Progressive jackpot to a guest who played just $1.76 on a slot machine, continuing the weekend’s streak of notable wins at properties beyond the Strip.
Context for Las Vegas Gamers
The recent run of jackpots at off-Strip and downtown properties comes as Las Vegas continues to attract visitors seeking both entertainment and the chance for a big win. While the Strip remains a major draw, these payouts highlight the appeal of gaming at properties throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
Large jackpots are not limited to the Strip or major resorts. Earlier this year, a guest at PT’s Gold in the west valley won $305,889.44 on the Giant Keno Progressive, setting a record for Nevada’s restricted gaming taverns. That story, covered in detail here, underscores the variety of venues where life-changing wins can occur.
