Abraham Jimenez, visiting from Illinois, walked away with $1,501,338 after a $5 side bet triggered The Venetian’s Pai Gow progressive when he was dealt a seven-card straight flush on a Friday morning in November 2025, a casino spokesperson said. The resort confirmed the payout but did not disclose the exact time of the hand.
The win follows another large payout at the same resort earlier in the week: The Venetian’s $3.85M table-game jackpot paid out on the preceding Wednesday, underscoring a hot streak for the property’s table-game progressives.
Other Big Wins Across the Valley
The $1.5 million payout is the most prominent of several notable wins across the Las Vegas Valley in early November. Properties from the north end of the Strip to downtown and suburban casinos posted five-figure prizes, illustrating a busy period for jackpots as visitation climbs into the fall convention season.
At Aliante in North Las Vegas, a Quick Hit slot converted a 75-cent wager into a $14,342.39 payout. Downtown’s California Hotel & Casino reported a $20,000 win from a 50-cent spin. The Orleans celebrated a $10,231 slot jackpot attributed to a player who hit the casino’s popular “Phantom” feature. At the Palms, a player hit a $20,000 handpay after a strong run of card play, while Sam’s Town recorded a $29,576 Bingo Bonus progressive coverall win.
Meanwhile, regional casinos also recognized large prize events and promotional winners. A property in Henderson highlighted a six-figure promotional prize winner who was named a 2025 Gambler of the Year in a hospitality awards program; the operator praised the guest and the property teams who handled the payout ceremonies.
