Las Vegas Celebrity Gambit

"From the Tropicana Hotel, the most exciting game in town, "Las Vegas Celebrity Gambit"! And here's your host, Wink Martindale!"

Las Vegas Celebrity Gambit is an unsold celebrity version of Las Vegas Gambit produced by Merrill Heatter Productions in association with Filmways, hosted by Wink Martindale, announced by Kenny Williams and it is intended to air on November 30, 1981 on the 10 am slot, but NBC scrapped it and replaced with The Regis Philbin Show. It was taped on November 20, 1981, at the Tropicana Hotel.

Gameplay
The gameplay looks identical to the Las Vegas Gambit, except with celebrities. The bonus round "Gambit Galaxy" was reformatted into the bonus game of the daytime Hollywood Squares from 1976-1980, which consists of two new cars and a luxury trip, for a total of over $25,000 in cash & prizes.
