LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/12 -- For the 11th consecutive year Holiday Systems International was the proud Presenting Sponsor of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) Awards Gala. The annual conference was held this year at the Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Craig Morganson, CEO of Holiday Systems International and an ARDA Trustee member, was pleased to sponsor the black-tie event once again, and stated, "The networking opportunities that ARDA provides are important. We're glad to help promote travel and tourism within the timeshare, fractional ownership, and private residence club industries. And the entertainment HSI selected this year was a BIG success with the audience!"

Each year Holiday Systems International selects and sponsors a prominent celebrity to headline the event. Past renowned headliners have included Howie Mandel, Lily Tomlin, Terry Fator, Jon Stewart, and others. This year's talent was legendary comedian Tom Papa. Papa is a veteran stand-up comedian and a familiar face to late night television. He was also the opening act for Jerry Seinfeld for almost a decade, and has several big screen film credits, starring opposite the likes of Matt Damon and Robert De Niro.

"Tom Papa is one funny guy," said Mr. Morganson. "I am delighted he was available for this event. He was entertaining and a huge crowd-pleaser. We all laughed until it hurt."
