Wheel of Fortune and Sony Pictures Television will host a Yaamava’ Resort & Casino Week from May 11-15, part of the destination’s 40th anniversary celebration and offering contestants the chance to win a new Corvette Stingray. 

"Working with Wheel of Fortune during such a milestone year allows us to bring the energy and spirit of Yaamava' to audiences across the country," Yaamava’ Resort & Casino GM Kenji Hall said. 

"This collaboration reflects the caliber of entertainment and elevated experiences our team has delivered for 40 years, and we're excited to share that story in a way that resonates far beyond our resort."

Throughout the week, Wheel of Fortune contestants will compete for prizes such as accommodated stays at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, Palms Casino Resort and Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club.

A bonus round winner will also be selected on each of the five days, culminating in a winner-take-all blind draw where five envelopes are placed on a wheel and only one reveals the new Corvette. 

As part of the celebration, Wheel of Fortune host Vanna White joined comedian Jay Leno at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino to film television segments which highlight the property’s various amenities. 

"Wheel of Fortune has always been about fun, excitement and memorable experiences, which makes this a natural collaboration," Sony Pictures Television SVP of Brand Partnerships, Licensing and Experiences for Game Shows Sally Umsted said. 

"We're excited to extend our relationship with Yaamava' Resort & Casino from the gaming floor to our air and connect with fans in a new way."

Yaamava’ Resort & Casino will also launch on-property activations such as t-shirt giveaways and a public drawing for exclusive Wheel of Fortune experiences. The property originally unveiled a range of new celebratory activations for its 40th anniversary on January 30.
