LAS VEGAS – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Henry Hernandez says that the Venetian was his favorite Las Vegas resort before he hit it big there early Sunday morning, winning $2.4 million on Wheel of Fortune® dollars. "When we first came to Las Vegas, we fell in love with the Venetian and now we try to come every year," he said.

51 year old retired production technician from Amarillo, Tex. said that he had planned "an all-nighter" devoted to playing slot machines and that he had been shooting for a bonus but never dreamed he'd win the multimillion dollar MegaJackpots(TM) prize.
