Atlantic City, N.J. (January 9, 2011) – The Showboat Atlantic City wants your dog for their exclusive America’s Next Top Dog Model contest. To celebrate the one year anniversary of becoming dog-friendly, Showboat is leaving no doggie house unturned to find a pet that that has the looks and charisma to be the next face of Pet Stay.

Beginning January 9, 2012 interested participants will be able to upload pictures of their beloved pup to the Showboat Facebook page.  On January 31st the submission period ends and fans will get to vote on which dog has the most star power.  On February 13th the voting ends and the top ten dogs with the most votes will be chosen to compete in the Showboat’s ‘Best in Show’ competition.  Fans eager to participate are encouraged to upload photos of their dogs wearing cute costumes or engaging in interesting activities. Entries are limitless so owners should feel free to put up several pictures to showcase their dog’s true talent, but all participating dogs must be under 50 pounds to enter and all photos must be sent in the jpg format with a 5MB limit.

Owners of the dogs selected to be among the six finalists will receive a two night stay at Showboat to compete in the ‘Best in Show’ competition on Saturday, March 3rd, as well as a complimentary breakfast at the Mansion Café and $100 food credit for Scarduzio’s Steak | Sushi | Lounge.  The actual dog chosen as the Next Top Dog Model’s owner will receive a grand prize package that will be sure to make those tails start wagging.

“Showboat has carved out a niche in the region by offering to host our customers in the hotel along with their extended family…their pets,” said Mark Tricano, Assistant General Manager for Showboat Atlantic City.  “Pet Stay has been overwhelmingly well-received by our customers and with this Facebook promotion, our ‘fans’ can also take part in this unique experience.  Our team is eager to find an official spokes-dog and we look forward to seeing everyone’s creativity come to life,” continued Tricano.

Pet Stay originally launched on February 24, 2011, offering the first and still only pet-friendly environment at an Atlantic City casino hotel.  Pet Stay rooms are available in Showboat’s New Orleans Tower and are set to accommodate all kinds of canines. Upon arrival, pups are welcomed with in-room gift amenities including treats, food and water bowls, disposable waste bags and a keepsake duffle bag

The pet program is open to dogs only and allows a maximum of 2 dogs up to 50 pounds per room. There is a $50 fee per night for pets.  Dogs are allowed in the hotel but are not permitted on the casino floor or in food and beverage areas, the spa or retail shops.
