I was in Vegas over the weekend and Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino has a neat Press Your Luck machine outside of its entrance. Anyone with a Total Rewards card can play and you're allowed one spin per day. The grand prize is a million dollars with other prizes including a Norwegian Cruise, free slot play, and other Vegas discounts and freebies. You can see a nice picture of it on this Vegas blog post (http://"http://lasvegasblog.harrahs.com/promotions/a-new-way-to-win-a-million-bucks-in-vegas/"), and even though it says it's closed on Sunday, I was able to play it this past Sunday. Here's video of my spin (http://"http://www.twitvid.com/UAINV"), it's very impressive with how authentic looking and sounding it is.
Even though I hit a Whammy, I was given a coupon to redeem at the Total Rewards desk for a consolation prize, either a Planet Hollywood shot glass or a Baby Carlos t-shirt from The Hangover similar to this one (http://"http://www.wbshop.com/The-Hangover-Baby-Carlos-Adult-TShirt/HARJBABAT,default,pd.html").

Nice! The blog post you link to also has a pretty neat slot finder, just in case you were wondering if the casinos still carry your favorite game show slot.

You didn't tell us which Whammy you landed on!
BTW - I'm the one responsible for the slide recreations.. hope you liked them! :)

I played that when I was in Vegas as well. I won a $75 free slot play coupon, a free drink, and a free ride on the Eiffel Tower which I never redeemed.
I wonder just how often the $1 million slide cycles around. Once a day maybe?

Sorry, I was reeling so much from hitting the Whammy that I didn't notice which Whammy it was, but watching the video again it looks like the skateboard Whammy. Great job on the slides.

Am I wrong, or did I hear the buzzer sound from Whammy! when the button was pressed?

You heard it.

Yeah, we had to put "something" in for the general public to know that the button was hit - that was a casino call.

That's privileged information. :)
