Palms Casino Resort Featured on "Wheel of Fortune" During Yaamava' Resort & Casino Week
May 11–15 Broadcast Showcases Las Vegas Luxury Getaways to a National Audience
Palms Joins Sister Property Yaamava' in Wheel of Fortune First, Featuring Jay Leno and a Guaranteed Corvette Stingray Finale.
LAS VEGAS – May 7, 2026 – Palms Casino Resort is taking center stage on America's most-watched game show as a featured prize destination during "Yaamava' Resort & Casino Week" on Wheel of Fortune, airing May 11–15. The themed week celebrates the 40th anniversary of sister property Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel and brings the Palms Las Vegas experience to millions of viewers nationwide.
Throughout the week, Wheel of Fortune contestants will compete for premium prize packages on the Wheel, including luxury stays at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Yaamava' Resort & Casino in Highland, California, and the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club in Dana Point — three properties under the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians' hospitality portfolio.
In a first for the iconic game show, one lucky contestant is guaranteed to drive away in a new Corvette Stingray — personally selected by comedian and car enthusiast Jay Leno — as part of a high-stakes Friday finale twist unlike any other in Wheel of Fortune history. Each night, Bonus Round winners will earn a spot in the final showdown, where all five finalists return for a winner-take-all moment. The grand prize vehicle will be awarded through a blind draw: five envelopes placed on the Bonus Wheel, with only one revealing the Corvette Stingray.
Winners of the Palms Las Vegas prize package will experience the resort's distinctive blend of high-energy nightlife, award-winning dining and elevated accommodations on the Las Vegas Strip's western edge. As one of the most talked-about reinventions in Las Vegas, Palms continues to deliver the bold, design-forward experience that has defined the property for more than two decades.
Adding to the excitement, Vanna White traveled to Yaamava' to film exclusive on-location segments alongside Jay Leno, showcasing the sister property's amenities and experiences. The segments will air throughout the week, giving viewers a closer look at the award-winning destination. Leno also joined Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White on the Wheel of Fortune set for special in-show appearances. In January, Yaamava' was the first casino in the U.S. to debut IGT's Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels slot machine.
"Wheel of Fortune has always been about fun, excitement, and memorable experiences, which makes this a natural collaboration," said Sally Umsted, SVP Brand Partnerships, Licensing, and Experiences for Sony Pictures Television, Game Shows division. "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."
"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," Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava' Resort & Casino, 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."
Palms Casino Resort joins Yaamava' in celebrating the collaboration, with Yaamava' engaging Club Serrano members through on-property activations including a special Wheel of Fortune T-shirt giveaway and a drawing for a VIP Wheel of Fortune experience that includes tickets to a show taping, a two-hour tour of Sony Pictures Studios and lunch in the Sony Dining Room.
