Before we get started, I'm going to be out of town for all of next week and returning on April 3rd. My family will be searching for a new home in Houston, TX and we're planning on moving to that city from Chicago. Mark will be covering all of next week's final Las Vegas week.
With that being said, let's get started with another theme week called "Vacation of a Lifetime".
Animated Intro of the Week: Vanna walks through different locations around the world and makes it to China, where Pat strikes a gong to reveal the show's logo on it.
Jim Thornton is back with us all this week.
