From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Long live the new millennium! May Vegas Week start it right!
With that, we'd better start right with $1,000 from this Toss-Up.
Go!
Kurt solves THE NILE RIVER.
Third 1000's first three:
Kurt Trivan: Senior at Western Michigan University studying finance, from Ionia
Ameenah Kareem: Final year in Howard University School of Law, graduating in May and plans to work in the field of criminal law; from Silver Spring, MD
Lisa Wiese: Bus driver who works three jobs (a parent running her own business who also drives a school bus), from Mesa, AZ
Kurt gets the first taste of "unlimited cash" for the new millennium.
Ameenah happily solves WHEN YOU'RE HOT YOU'RE HOT.
Perfection! Ameenah solves THE ROSE QUEEN AND HER ROYAL COURT to keep the Gift Tag.
Kurt solves UP-TO-THE-MINUTE INFORMATION. The way he solved, Pat had to say "No more caffeine for our players before the show!".
Go!
Ameenah solves BROOM AND DUSTPAN.
And now, Ameenah is the first to try for the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
Our first show must end soon, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.
Lisa: F ($2,500)
Lisa solves EXCHANGING GIFTS at the last moment.
BONUS ROUND:
Vanna is really happy about those Poker chips!

Pat says this week is actually being taped at home in Culver City, but a giant "CULVER CITY" sign just wouldn't draw enough eyes.
We have a few more things that will draw some eyes! We're adding a Yamaha Clavinova digital piano (labeled KEYBOARD) worth $5,495.
The $10,000 prize should also grab your attention...though since we already added a piano, the skinny spaces might not stand out as much.

She does not solve BILOXI, and she doesn't want to see what's inside. First day of the new millennium, and...she looks.
Ameenah couldn't get the Ford Expedition, so she will leave with $10,050 cash and gift tag.
In the post-game, Vanna feels like she's actually in Vegas! She also likes to gamble, though Vegas doesn't actually hand her chips like that. Pat wonders how tall they'll both be by the time the show is over.
