Besides the shows you mention in your post:
WOF, Millionaire(Play It attraction), and WLOD have gone to Disney World.
Remote Control, Singled Out, and Idiot Savants have gone to Florida in conjunction with MTV Spring Break events.
WLOD taped in NYC, Philly, Chicago, and Hawaii in addition to Disney World.
Pictionary did a 1998 week from either Universal or MGM Studios.
You Don't Say taped in Cypress Gardens at one point in the 60s.
WOF did at least one stint of shows from Frisco.
70s Pyramid did several weeks in LA, if you want to count that.
The 1996-97 Newlywed Game with Gary Kroeger did a week in Vegas.
J! was in Atlanta to tape the 2000 TofC, in NYC in 2002 for the Million Dollar Masters tourney and the 4000th show, and has done college tourneys from Berkeley, Yale, and U of Pittsburgh.

Not sure if you want to count $10KP, which taped in NY normally but did a few weeks at CBS TV City in L.A. (and those are the "surviving" eps that GSN showed during their PYRAMID Thursday blocks).

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see it in Zachary's short list.

EDIT AGAIN: If you're counting Vegas for LMAD (they spent a season there--I don't recall them making periodic trips to Vegas from L.A., although I could be wrong), then you gotta count Orlando and Vancouver as well.

Doug -- and the countdown to 1400 continues

They made *one* trip to Vegas in early '76, where they taped a number of syndie episodes and a week of daytime shows with an experimental one-hour format. All I can remember is that there was still only one Big Deal. That was the only time in the original run (until the last syndie year) that they didn't originate from either Burbank or Prospect and Talmadge.

Columbus, OH has also had a visit by Jeopardy for one of the recent College Tournys at Ohio St.

Hollywood Squares in 1988 visited Club Med in the Bahamas for a week's worth of shows.

Hey Deej, it was mentioned by the OP. Thanks for playing the game. Enjoy your press-on nails. :-P

Some additions...
* Jeopardy!'s 2001 College Championships were at UCLA.
* About a decade ago, Cash Explosion, the Ohio Lottery show, used to do one show every month or two away from WEWS' studios in Cleveland.
* The ESPN show Dream League taped numerous shows in Atlanta around the time of one of the Atlanta-hosted Super Bowls. (XXIX in '95?)
* A real stretch--Paranoia was on location at multiple at-home players' residences or towns each show.

There was also a week of shows where each day was taped in a different city. I remember Dallas being one of the days.

Jan Murray's "Charge Account" was done live, from the beach in Fort Lauderdale, for two weeks in 1962.

Now you KNOW I'm old!

I've Got A Secret did at least one show in Florida in 1957. I believe these were done at Winter Haven during their Florida Citrus Festival.

I don't qualify for a walker yet, do I?

And don't forget the original 1965-67 version of Supermarket Sweep, which was shot on location at supermarkets up and down the East Coast of the US.

Or even Born Lucky in 1992, where Bob Goen and that Aussie announcer-sidekick of his went to various malls in southern California.
