Bound to open hands in US resort (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
palm springs
'us resort' is the definition.
(Palm Springs is a resort in California)
'bound to open hands' is the wordplay.
'bound' becomes 'spring' (both can mean to leap).
'to open' is an insertion indicator (some letters open a gap in others).
'hands' becomes 'palms'.
'spring' going within 'palms' is 'PALM SPRINGS'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for palm springs that I've seen before include "California desert resort" , "Californian desert resort" , "desert city" , "Californian city" .)
