Las Vegas is affectionately referred to as the Ninth Island because of its many visitors from Hawaii.

One Hawaiian visitor will return home with a great story to tell — and more than $1 million richer.

The visitor at the California in downtown Las Vegas on Saturday turned a $10 spin on an IGT Wheel of Fortune slot machine into a progressive jackpot of $1,172,262, resort officials said today.

The property, which is popular with Hawaiian visitors, didn’t release the name of the lucky player.
