WHEEL OF FORTUNE IS HEADING TO NEW ORLEANS

WHAT

Wheel of Fortune will tape three weeks worth of shows in New Orleans, marking the first time the show's production will return to the city after being evacuated in 2005 in advance of Hurricane Katrina. The theme weeks will celebrate popular aspects of New Orleans culture including "Celebrating New Orleans," "College Week" and "Fabulous Food." 

We invite you to come and get a "behind the scenes" look at one of our most exciting on-location tapings as contestants from New Orleans and all over the country compete for Big Cash & Exciting Prizes!
