The new Let's Make a Deal is the latest reincarnation of the classic Monty Hall game show, which started out in the 1960s. The new host is none other than Wayne Brady, with announcer Jonathan Mangum and model Alison Fiori.
Let's Make a Deal tapes at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. To be in the running to become a contestant, you'll first have to get tickets to attend a taping.
The Tropicana offers package deals that include room rentals and tickets for the show. You can find prices and dates at the Tropicana website, or call them at 1-888-826-8767 to book the package deal.
If you just want tickets for the show without booking a room, head over to the official Let's Make a Deal site at CBS.com, or go directly to On Camera Audiences. You'll find a complete schedule of tape dates, and you can request free tickets there.
Taping dates are usually on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. There are a few Monday and Wednesday dates as well. Two hour-long episodes are recorded on each date, one at 11am and the other at 2pm.
Contestants are chosen from the pool of audience members, so here are a few things to keep in mind if you'd like to play Let's Make a Deal:
- Bring photo I.D. with you, and be prepared to fill out an application and release form.
- Costumes are strongly encouraged, and you'll need to be original. Dressing up as a ghost or something else that's very common will likely not get you picked.
- Audience members and potential contestants must be 21 years of age or older.
According to literature from the show, your odds of being a contestant is 1 in 18. For Las Vegas, those are pretty good odds!
