Star Metro - Casinos.com Partners with Las Vegas Desert Dogs

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2026 / Casinos.com today announced a new partnership with the Las Vegas Desert Dogs, marking the company's first official sports team sponsorship and a significant expansion of its presence in Las Vegas.

The season-long partnership brings Casinos.com into the Desert Dogs ecosystem through in-arena branding, broadcast television exposure, social media collaboration, and fan engagement initiatives throughout the 2025-26 season.

As part of the collaboration, Casinos.com will serve as the presenting sponsor of the Desert Dogs' Player of the Game.

This media partnership represents a deliberate investment in Las Vegas by Casinos.com.

"We're expanding our presence here," Executive Editor Dan Michalski said. "As a longtime local, I can attest Las Vegas is a special destination. Working with the Desert Dogs lets us connect our news coverage and editorial content with the community that helps drive this city at the center of casino culture and innovation."

"The sports and entertainment offerings that have changed Las Vegas are redefining casino culture worldwide," Michalski added.

A New Chapter for Casinos.com

The deal also marks Casinos.com's strategic entry and first foray into sports team sponsorship.

"This sponsorship aligns with how people actually experience casinos today," Casinos.com Founder and Senior Vice President Lee Gwilliam said. "Casinos are all about shared moments, whether playing games, seeing a concert, or enjoying professional sports."

Gwilliam said pro lacrosse in Las Vegas seemed the right fit for a new marketing initiative.

"Partnering with the Desert Dogs allows us to meet our audience and build a more meaningful connection with the Las Vegas community," [Lee] Gwilliam said. "And with the Desert Dogs playing at Lee's Family Forum, how could we stay on the sidelines? We're especially excited to bring this relationship to life."
