Annual Holiday Party Offers Dotty’s Employees Chance to Celebrate 2013, Look Ahead to New Year

LAS VEGAS - Jan. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- As employees from Southern Nevada area Dotty’s Tavern and Casinos recently gathered for their annual holiday party featuring an array of food and live bingo, the occasion offered a time for reflection about the past year.  It was also a time for excitement and anticipation about where the company is headed in 2014.

         Dotty’s wrapped up an historic fourth quarter of  2013 by finalizing its purchase of the Hacienda Hotel and Casino on December 23. In November, the company announced plans to remodel the 32 acre site into a national park-style lodge called the Hoover Dam Lodge overlooking Lake Mead outside Boulder City.

         “This will be the first time Dotty’s has operated a hotel and casino, so everyone in our company is excited,” said Ally Estey, marketing and store development director. “This will be a new challenge for many of our employees, but we have a great team.”

         Also in 2013, Dotty’s moved its corporate headquarters into a 150,000 square foot office space in North Las Vegas, which speaks to the growth of the company. Additionally, the move creates more opportunities for jobs and promotions from within the company. Dotty’s now has more than 1,025 employees working in Nevada.

Other notable highlights from the 4th quarter 2013 include:

- Dotty’s and its employees gave $88,260 to local charities, bringing total chartitable contributions for 2013 to $227,680.
- The company donated to 20 non-profit organizations, including $20,000 to Problem Gaming Center; $41,725 to Wounded Warriors; $3,055 to Boys and Girls Club of Yerington; and $10,000 to Make a Wish Foundation.

Dotty’s prides itself in offering its tavern patrons a unique departure from the atmosphere of big-box hotels and casinos. The small 24-hour chain currently has 69 freestanding establishments in Southern Nevada, 30 in Northern Nevada with an additional 13 locations in Food 4 Less grocery stores and 10 inside Kmart department stores.
