LINCOLN, Calif., May 31 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of the build up to the grand opening of its new hotel, spa, pool and expanded casino this July, Thunder Valley Casino Resort will launch a new logo and website on June 1.

The new logo incorporates a subtle black bear paw print to represent the United Auburn Indian Community as well the letters T and V for Thunder Valley. It was developed by Mering Carson advertising and could actually be seen in the background of the unexpectations.com billboards around Northern California over the past several weeks.

"We designed a new logo because Thunder Valley Casino Resort is an entirely new facility with luxurious amenities, exciting games and an unparalleled experience," said General Manager CJ Graham. "From the moment guests pull into the new 7-story parking garage and begin to notice all of the little unexpected touches by our team members, they will see that it is unlike anything this region has ever seen before."

The new website will be launched June 1 and will have the same url www.thundervalleyresort.com but will look like nothing seen before in the casino industry. The site will have an intuitive structure and friendly navigation that will allow users to immediately find the information they need from any page. Promotions will be highlighted in every section of the site and users will be able to book hotel packages and rooms online as well as register for a Thunder Club card and email and mobile communication updates.

There will also be an Asian version of the website launching July 1 with the same content as the English version.

Thunder Valley Casino Resort was opened by the United Auburn Indian Community in June 2003. The newly remodeled and expanded entertainment, dining and hotel resort is Northern California's first casino offering all the elements of real Las Vegas-style gaming: service, cuisine and entertainment in an outstanding facility.
