Harrah's Entertainment (http://www.harrahs.com/) announced today that it has increased its hotel distribution network in Atlantic City through an agreement with Orbitz Worldwide (NYSE:OWW), a leading global online travel company.

With the soon-to-open 960-room Waterfront Tower at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, the four Harrah's casinos in Atlantic City will include 6,500 rooms in this rapidly-growing gaming, entertainment and oceanfront travel market. The Harrah's properties feature a wide variety of room types and inventory, ranging from economical standard guest rooms to elaborate, fully-furnished suites.

Including Atlantic City, the agreement gives Orbitz Worldwide lodging inventory at more than 25 new Harrah's properties in the U.S. and Canada, as well as the distinction of having more Harrah's Entertainment hotels in its portfolio than any other online travel agency.
"Harrah's has been a great partner over the years, already proving instrumental in our success in markets like Las Vegas," said Peggy Bianco, vice president, global hotel supplier relations, Orbitz Worldwide.
