LAS VEGAS, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Officials with the American Gaming Lodging and Leisure Summit announced today that the prestigious annual meeting will be held February 9 & 10, 2000. For the first time, the Summit will meet at two properties, The Venetian and Paris Las Vegas. The American Gaming Lodging and Leisure Summit is the gaming industry's most important conference, highlighting the issues and personalities that will make the largest impact on the gaming, lodging and leisure industries in the upcoming year. The producers of the American Gaming Lodging & Leisure Summit include Bear, Stearns & Co, Inc., one of the nation's most important financial institutions; Casino Journal Publishing Group, the leading information provider for the gaming industry; and Lionel Sawyer & Collins, Nevada's premier law firm, with legal expertise that extends to all three principal industries.
The American Gaming Lodging and Leisure Summit traditionally highlights the newest and most dynamic Las Vegas gaming properties, and last year met at Mirage Resorts' Bellagio.
Harvey Whittemore, a partner with Lionel Sawyer & Collins and chairman of the American Gaming Lodging and Leisure Summit, said the organization is pleased to be associated with both the Venetian and Paris-Las Vegas. ``As the first and most important gaming conference of the new Millennium, what better location can we offer than Las Vegas' two newest and most unique tourist attractions,' he said. ``Our program will prepare gaming executives and public officials for the challenges that the industry will face in the year 2000 and beyond.'
Jason Ader, Senior Managing Director, Bear, Stearns & Co., says the Summit will bring together the top executives of the three industries. ``We are excited to be presenting the most important leaders in the gaming, lodging and leisure industries to discuss valuable industry trends to the investment community.'
Glenn Fine, Publisher and Chairman of Casino Journal Publishing Group (OTC Bulletin Board: CJPG - news), calls the American Gaming Lodging and Leisure Summit the industry's most important meeting. ``With the changes that occur each year in all of these industries,' he says, ``executives just can't afford to pass up the information and networking opportunities available at the Summit.'
In addition to being the first conference to fully integrate these three important industries, the American Gaming Lodging & Leisure Summit features keynote speakers who address attendees at a time when industry issues and their company's fortunes intersect. Previous Summit keynote speakers include Mirage Resorts' Steve Wynn, MGM Grand's Terry Lanni, Hilton Hotels' Barron Hilton and Steve Bollenbach, Starwood's Barry Sternlicht, The Venetian's Sheldon Adelson, BET Holdings' Robert Johnson, Vail Resorts' Adam Aron, Mandalay Resort Group's Glenn Schaeffer, International Speedway Corp.'s Bill France, among others.

Robert Torricelli (D-New Jersey), Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada), former Nevada Governor Bob Miller, former Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, and Atlantic City Mayor James Whelan, among others.
Seminar sessions at the American Gaming Lodging & Leisure Summit feature the recognized experts in those areas. Just some of the subjects scheduled to be covered include conventions and the gaming industry, themed restaurants and celebrity chefs, the impact of the Internet on the gaming and lodging industry, and many others.
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. offers ``Investment Perspectives,' panel discussions led by Bear Stearns executives that include the chairmen, presidents and chief financial officers from the most important companies in the various segments of the gaming, lodging and leisure industries.
