LAS VEGAS, Nevada – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: PNK) today reported strong financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $236.7 million, an increase of 35.7% from $174.4 million in last year's quarter. Adjusted EBITDA(1) rose 160% to $54.0 million in the current period from $20.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was approximately 22.8%. The quarterly results include solid business levels at L'Auberge du Lac, continued strong performance at Boomtown New Orleans and continued margin improvement at Boomtown Bossier City.

AIDS agency and the World Health Organization said in their annual report on the epidemic.
Eastern Europe and Central Asia have seen the most significant increases in new infections, from an estimated 160,000 in 2004 to 270,000 this year. The epidemic is spreading fastest in Ukraine, especially among needle-drug users; annual HIV diagnoses there have more than doubled since 2000.
