Harrah�s Entertainment, which features a combined database of more than 19 million players, will use SynXis� Global Distribution System (GDS) connectivity solution for all of its hotel properties, which include the Harrah�s, Showboat and Rio brand names.  This alliance, effective in late August, will enable Harrah�s Entertainment to offer its travel agency partners simple, yet revolutionary software applications.  The SynXis and Harrah�s partnership represents each company�s visionary commitment to using technology to create the most innovative and effective solutions for their clients.

�Harrah�s Entertainment prides itself on being the industry leader by using the latest technological advances to provide the best products and services,� said Richard Mirman, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Harrah�s Entertainment.  �This partnership with SynXis helps us attain our goal through its seamless connection to the GDSs.�

SynXis� trademark offering, SynXis Agent*, and its suite of related products, provide the first fully Web-based reservation system that allows single image, real-time inventory to all booking sources.  The brand�s GDS connectivity solution ensures seamless connections to all four major GDSs, giving a property exposure to thousands of agents worldwide.  This connectivity solution also allows travel agents to better assist their clients by providing additional property information and description not usually offered by the four major GDSs. 

�We are pleased to be associated with a brand as powerful as Harrah�s Entertainment� said Bill Eichhorn, EVP & COO, SynXis.  �By taking advantage of the SynXis GDS connectivity solution, Harrah�s Entertainment can rely on leading edge and superior technology that will give them a competitive advantage in today�s hospitality industry.�
