Harry Reid International Airport currently boasts more than a stonking 1,400 slot machines for Sin City visitors trying one last shot at winning the big bucks.
The slot machines have since generated more than $1 billion in revenue over the last 36 years, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal and FOX affiliate KVVU-TV.
Scott Kichline, assistant director for business at Harry Reid International Airport, once said: "Having slots in the airport is an amenity travellers largely enjoy and have come to expect."
He continued: "Seeing and hearing slots the moment they arrive sets the tone for an 'Only Vegas' experience, and on their way out, many also enjoy the opportunity to pursue one last jackpot."
Well, with the prospect of leaving your holibobs a millionaire - it's no wonder why so many hopeful tourists have tried their luck on one of the airport's many slots.
