That’s more like it.

One day after Las Vegas casinos reopened, a visitor from Los Angeles hit Let It Ride’s major progressive jackpot for $670,637 at Caesars Palace, according to a news release.

The guest, who wished to remain anonymous, was dealt a jack, queen and king of spades, and the dealer flipped the ace and 10 of spades to complete the royal flush.

Caesars Palace reopened its doors at 10 a.m. Thursday after being shuttered on March 17 — the first closure in the resort’s 54-year history.
