Several hours later at 11 p.m., another Caesars Rewards member won a slots jackpot worth $146,358.

Two days later, on Sunday, a third Caesars Palace guest left with $100,000 after hitting a video poker jackpot.

On Saturday at 7 p.m., Caesars Rewards member Douglas Zuckermann of San Bruno, Calif., won a $372,890 Mega Progressive jackpot playing Ultimate Texas Hold’em poker at O’Sheas Irish Pub inside The Linq Hotel.
