Bellingham Slam News Release
Bellingham, Wash. - The American Basketball Association's Bellingham Slam have announced that an agreement has been reached to continue a sponsorship with Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air for the team's second season. Allegiant Air was the team's first national sponsor during its inaugural season in 2005, and the new agreement reached between the two groups last week will allow Slam fans to enjoy and participate in exciting Allegiant Air-sponsored contests all season long. At every home game this season, lucky fans will have the chance to win round-trip airfare to Las Vegas courtesy of Allegiant Air.
Since 2004, Allegiant Air has been serving Bellingham and Whatcom County with the area's only non-stop jet service to Las Vegas. Allegiant Air has also partnered with world-class hotels in Las Vegas to provide affordable, complete vacation packages. And starting in January, Allegiant Air will begin seasonal non-stop jet service from Bellingham to Palm Springs. To help celebrate the new destination for Whatcom County travelers, Allegiant Air is offering introductory $49 fares each way.
