12-city Tour
In early 1998, Wheel of Fortune 2000 made a 12-city tour, appearing in shopping malls around the country. The tour was sponsored by The Bravo Card, and branded by Discover. The Chicago office of New Jersey-based promotion agency DVC Group coordinated the tour, sponsorship and promotion.
Sidoni hosted the touring show as well and was again joined by Ray as Lucy. The tour visited a variety of major market cities including Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., New York City, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Jose, and Anaheim. Winners from each market were invited to appear as contestants on the program in a grand finale.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
