I want to thank you Gialmere for putting this on. The game is fun and engaging. You make it sufficiently challenging but not so challenging it saps your energy to try. Plus the time you have to put in to host the game. I greatly appreciate it.

And now, here's the host of Jeopardy! .... Alex Trebek!!!

[audience applause]

Thank you. Thank you Johnny Gilbert. Thank you audience and welcome back to LV Jeopardy! Once again we're doing both single (easier) and double (harder) Jeopardy boards (no Final Jep). Daily Doubles are open to all players and are simply worth twice the max points for the round (i.e. 2000 or 4000 points). Searching IS legal. Editing posts is NOT legal although you may post again with the correct response without having to wait for another player. REMEMBER, all responses must be in the form of a question (including a question mark).

A special shout out to regular contestant beachbumbabs who we understand is trying to improve her LV Jeopardy skills by practicing on the "Jeopardy!" TV show. We wish her good fortune, great categories and weak opponents.

Now, let's set up the board and see the starting Jeopardy round categories. We have....

States	Attaboyd	Directions	Poker	Implosions	Jeportmanteau
200	200	200	200	200	200
400	400	400	400	400	400

800	800	800	800	800	800

Please make a selection.

Jeportmanteau [Combine the 1st & 2nd clues to create an artificial portmanteau. Example: A resort with a pyramid plus a big easy hotel/casino = What is Luxorleans?]

For 200 points the answer is...

An elegant resort with fountains plus an Irish themed casino.
