Not a bad way to start a weekend on the Las Vegas Strip.

A visitor from Texas hit the Dragon Link Grand Progressive Jackpot for $1,896,388.88 Friday night at Resorts World Las Vegas, according to a casino spokesperson.

Playing at a $25 denomination, the guest placed a $250 bet and landed the Grand Progressive and bonus winning combination.

The guest, who is staying at the property, was joined by friends when the jackpot hit after approximately eight minutes of play.
