Gila River Resorts & Casinos has formed a new partnership with Sixt USA, a subsidiary of Sixt SE, to name the mobility services provider as its official rental car partner, with Peak Strategic Partnerships serving as an advisor and facilitator to the collaboration.
"Gila River Resorts & Casinos has built something truly special across Arizona — four world-class properties that draw visitors from across the country for gaming, dining and entertainment,” Sixt North America President Tom Kennedy said.
“We are proud to partner with them to bring added value to their guests and The Card rewards program members, ensuring the premium experience extends from the moment they hit the road to the moment they arrive."
Guests and rewards program members of Gila River Resorts & Casinos will be eligible to receive discounts on Sixt car rentals as part of the collaboration.
Gila River Resorts & Casinos currently operates four commercial properties in Arizona, including Wild Horse Pass, Lone Butte, Vee Quiva and Santan Mountain, all of which feature slots and table games for casino players, as well as a BetMGM sportsbook.
The operator’s Director of Corporate Marketing Justin Sullivan also spoke on the new partnership, having said, "We are always looking for ways to extend the value of a visit beyond our properties. Partnering with Sixt gives our guests and The Card members a seamless, premium travel experience with meaningful savings.
“It aligns with how we think about hospitality, making every part of the journey more convenient, more rewarding, and connected to the high standard our guests expect from Gila River Resorts & Casinos."
Heading west to California, Sky River Casino opened an expanded gaming floor on March 6, increasing its total slot machine count to 2,500.
The property will expand into a full casino-resort with a 300-room hotel, day spa, outdoor pool, 30,000 sq ft entertainment venue and enlarged high-limit and VIP gaming area by 2027.
