Yaamava' Resort & Casino Week Takes Over "Wheel of Fortune" May 11-15 with First-Of-Its-Kind Grand Prize Twist

Wheel of Fortune is set to feature "Yaamava' Resort & Casino Week" from May 11 through May 15, 2026, bringing the atmosphere of the Southern California entertainment destination to a national audience. Based in Highland, California, the themed broadcast serves as a centerpiece for Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel's 40th anniversary celebrations. This milestone commemorates four decades of the venue's operations in world-class gaming, hospitality, and live entertainment.[1][2][3]

The special week introduces a first-of-its-kind grand prize twist for the long-running game show, aiming to bring the thrill of the resort to millions of viewers. While the week will feature various luxury getaways and high-stakes gameplay, the Friday finale is highlighted by a guaranteed winner of a new Corvette Stingray. This marks a significant departure from typical episodes where grand prizes are not always awarded to contestants.[1][2][3]

Comedian and car enthusiast Jay Leno plays a key role in the festivities, having personally selected the Corvette Stingray that will be awarded to the lucky contestant. Leno's involvement adds a celebrity element to the luxury-themed week, which focuses on the premium experiences offered by the resort. The collaboration between the iconic game show and the casino highlights the resort's long-standing presence in the Southern California entertainment landscape.[1][2][3]

Guide: All Delisted Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games Missing From The eShop

Surprise and delist. It's a sad reality of modern gaming that, despite not needing physical media to play a game, the digital-only version is typically more ephemeral and subject to sudden disappearance than a cart or a disc. It only takes an expired licence or a publisher in financial trouble for games to start disappearing from storefronts. It's not just small games either; you may be shocked to see just how many games have been removed from the eShop since 2017. While compiling this (de)list, we were certainly surprised to see just how many sizeable Switch releases — ones we've reviewed and enjoyed — are now no longer available for purchase on a Nintendo Switch, 1 or 2.
