Just curious, Chris: Did you mean to write "execrable"? If Ruckus was that bad, though, it could qualify as both execrable and excretable. (I well know you have a wicked sense of humor, so I'm not trying to berate you for a typo that you intended as a joke.)

I probably did, I've never gotten that phrase right. I'd always figured "excretable" fit.

It was the Diplomat Hotel and I think they did go twice.

They went for four weeks. Two weeks in the first season and two weeks consecutively in the 2nd season. They also taped at Club Med in the Bahamas for a week.

The Diplomat has since changed a lot, becoming somewhat of a twin tower esque building.

Holy crap, was I off by a few miles!!! I had the Hilton in my mind, but the Benadryl had control of my fingers and went to the Grand instead.

Although the MGM Grand hosted the Wheel Of Fortune Live show back a few years ago with Michael Burger as emcee, though it was not a televised event. Nonetheless, the MGM was one helluva step up from the Sheraton LAX for Burger!

Not that this is very relevant, but wasn't there a massive fire there in the late-70s or early-80s?

Some Googling I did after that post out of interest discovered that there in fact was, in 1980. It was then rebuilt from the Marina Hotel in 1989.

This is totally obscure, but-

Aussie Wheel of Fortune taped it's 20th anniversary show at Conrad Jupiter's on the Gold Coast...

I have no clue how I came up with that one...

Neumms · « **Reply #27 on:** June 08, 2005, 08:15:20 PM »

When "Win Lose or Draw" shot in Hawaii, were they at a resort?

And when they showed "Queen for a Day" on Trio, I believe they were at the Fountainbleu in Miami, if not at a hotel in Hollywood, too. (Not that we typically bring up that show, but I'm just tickled I could answer the question.)

And it was said fire that supposedly thwarted the short-lived $50K Pyramid's plans for a 2nd season, from the Grand.

MGM Grand was orginally a straight across building. During the 90s, the addition that crossed the old hotel was added (hey, they had to compete somehow!)
