AMERICAN TRIP ON THE WHEEL: to the Dana Hotel & Spa in Chicago from worldhotels.com w/ the hotwire.com travel worth $6,705
Jackpot Round - FOOD AND DRINK
Beth starts things off w/ an M, but then becomes the first LAT victim of the night. Secondly, Curt FPs a trio of E's, but shortly BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side to lose $650. Third, David cashes in $7,500 w/ a W and two N's, but then hits the nearby BANKRUPT to give that amount right back. Beth next picks up the blue 1/2 KIA w/ three H's. Two spins later, she uncovers two G's while on Jackpot...

...set off those fireworks for the 12th time this season, Mr. Corwin -- she eats up a HAMBURGER WITH EVERYTHING ON IT for a total of $17K (including a $13,150 pot, the highest-winning amount of the season) that round!

Pre-Round 2 Scores

========
Mystery Round - LANDMARK
Right away, Curt picks up the green 1/2 KIA w/ two T's and spots a single R while on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. He turns down the $2K bribe...for five times that amount! But he hits a stopper in S when trying to pick up the Wild Card. A few spins later, David picks up the RITZ Camera & Image gift tag w/ four L's. He also gets the other available 1/2 KIA tag w/ a P (everybody has picked up one of those so far tonight). Once he leaves only the C remaining...

========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - FUN AND GAMES
David instantly BANKRUPTS near top dollar for the second time this evening to forfeit his plate. Secondly, Beth picks up another copy of the blue 1/2 KIA, but then LATs out for the second time tonight. Third, Curt has filled in the second word of TO, but says R for roadblock. A few letters later, Dave picks up the WC w/ a G and narrows the puzzle down to this...
_ A N C I N G / T O
L I V E / C A L _ _ S O
M U S I C
He solves this puzzle for $6,500 and will likely be DANCING TO LIVE CALYPSO MUSIC on his trip to the Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort & Casino in ST. CROIX worth $8,180; he's taken the lead away from Beth w/ a $14,680 round.

This should NOT have been lost. I had that w/ the RSTLNE. 
Nice to see JUST her name, even if it's a Toss Up.
