Exciting Twist: Yaamava' Resort & Casino Week Takes Over 'Wheel of Fortune'

An Unforgettable Week at Yaamava' Resort & Casino

From May 11 to 15, 2026, the iconic game show Wheel of Fortune is bringing the vibrant excitement of Southern California's Yaamava' Resort & Casino to TV screens across the nation. This special themed week is a part of the resort's grand 40th anniversary celebrations, marking four decades of outstanding gaming, hospitality, and entertainment.

This is no ordinary episode; Wheel of Fortune fans can anticipate a groundbreaking twist. For the first time in the history of the show, one lucky contestant will be guaranteed to drive off in a brand-new Corvette Stingray, selected personally by the renowned comedian and car aficionado Jay Leno. This high-stakes finale promises to be a remarkable climax not to be missed.

Throughout Yaamava' Resort & Casino Week, contestants will compete for extravagant prizes showcased on the revolving wheel. These include luxury getaway packages at the resort itself, complementary stays at the sister properties like the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, and the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club in Dana Point.

Each night has its thrills as participants who win the Bonus Rounds will secure a coveted spot in the Friday finale. Here, five finalists will return for a winner-takes-all showdown, where excitement soars as a unique twist will determine the grand prize vehicle. A blind draw will take place on the Bonus Wheel, where five envelopes will be highlighted, and only one will reveal the coveted Corvette Stingray.

Adding to the excitement, the beloved co-host Vanna White has flown to Yaamava' to film exclusive segments on location, alongside Jay Leno. These clips will showcase the resort's luxury amenities and highlight the diverse experiences available to guests. Leno will also make special appearances on the game show set with host Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White.

In a recent move, Yaamava' Resort made headlines by becoming the inaugural casino in the United States to launch IGT's exciting new slot machine, Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels.
