BankWest of Nevada Makes Million Dollar Investment in Las Vegas Monorail; Multi-Year Advertising/ATM Deal Unveiled at VIP Event in Las Vegas.

WHAT:       It'll be raining money in Vegas when the BankWest of
            Nevada "Moneyrail" rolls into town.

            In an event befitting Las Vegas' world-class style,
            hundreds of local elected officials, business leaders and
            VIPs will gather for the dazzling unveiling of the
            monorail's latest addition, the fire engine red BankWest
            of Nevada monorail train, aptly called the "Moneyrail."

            To demonstrate how Lady Luck may soon be upon riders of
            the Las Vegas Monorail who use BankWest of Nevada ATMs
            located on each of the monorail stations, confetti will
            be shot from the cash slot of an oversized ATM machine
            as it rises more than 20 feet into the air to meet the
            arrival of the BankWest of Nevada-imaged monorail train.
            The event will also signify the launch of a promotion
            where monorail ATM users can actually win money just for
            using the ATMs. BankWest of Nevada employee-winners of
            their "Name-the-Train" contest and the developer of the
            new Brand Promise slogan will also be awarded free
            lifetime passes to ride the monorail and cash  prizes.

WHY:        BankWest of Nevada has committed to a million dollar,
            three-year deal with the Las Vegas Monorail Company to
            install ATMs on every monorail station and to be the first
            local company to purchase advertising space on one of the
            monorail's nine trains.
