We're back in Las Vegas for the third week of shows -- it's "Big Money Week" from The Venetian! Despite the fact that all the Vegas episodes were taped this past summer, it's NOT Charlie O'Donnell's voice that we're hearing for the remainder of said episodes; it's actually Johnny Gilbert for the second week in a row.
Anyway, let's proceed to the gameplay right now.
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
_ _ T / T H E

$2,000 Tossup - SAME LETTER
P R I _ / &
