Pasadena, CA. - LeisureLink, Inc., the leading distribution and revenue management platform for specialty lodging suppliers, today announced that John Ascuaga’s Nugget Resort Casino will be distributed across the ABetterStay.com network.

 

“John Ascuaga’s Nugget is the first major resort casino to select ABetterStay.com distribution, and marks our entry into a new market segment,” said Steve Reich, Senior Vice President of LeisureLink. “Our consumer is looking for a better vacation, something beyond the ordinary hotel experience, and we have had good success with smaller, more intimate international casinos. After working with our international clients, we have been actively seeking US-based casinos that offer something different. Being family-owned makes the Nugget a unique property. It’s a large resort casino that retains the intimacy and high service levels of a family business. The Nugget is a Reno icon, and a perfect fit for our customer base.”

 

“After noting LeisureLink’s rapid growth and success with condo-style inventory, we decided that the Nugget had to be the first major US casino resort in this new channel,” said Sherri McVey, Director of Leisure Sales for John Ascuaga’s Nugget. “Of course we already utilize a wide array of distribution, but we are always looking for innovative, high-growth channels. LeisureLink’s rapid growth and unique focus on vacation lodging make them a natural choice for our leisure product.”

 

The Nugget and LeisureLink also announced a special promotion to celebrate their new partnership. Consumers who book on ABetterStay.com and its affiliates will receive a room upgrade from the West Tower to the East Tower. This offer is only available through ABetterStay.com for bookings up to September 30, 2009. Guests may stay any date in the future.

John Ascuaga’s Nugget is a premier casino resort owned and operated by the Ascuaga family in Reno/Sparks, Nevada. For more information, call 800-648-1177 or 775-356-3300, or visit janugget.com.
