 Officials heralded the crackdown as the first of its kind against state-sponsored, AI-powered propaganda. A Las Vegas landmark will close next Wednesday, but before then, the law says it has to give away a fortune. Over the next week, the Mirage will hand out $1.6 million in prizes, all from progressive jackpots that inch higher every time a game is played but the grand prize isn't won. State law requires they be paid out before the casino can close.
