How about WalMart?

Disney would be an obvious tie in and I think any of the Vegas Casinos could tap into a lucrative market.

The obvoius connections are Hi-tech-but the computer marktet is drying up, Telecom, already well represented, Bio Tech? No consumer good.

Of busibesses in the consumer market, Soft drinks and fast food are the obvous choices. I was always surprised that Bertlesmann and Time Warner hadn't gotten in.
Wal-Mart? I hate, hate, hate Wal-Mart! They're the biggest corporation in the world, but they don't sponsor anything, even NASCAR! Do they have Target outside America? The Ganassi cars have always been very nice.

Disney doesn't sponsor much, either. When they do put their name on something, there is always a small backlash by the surprisingly large Disney-hater population.

Vegas? Why stop at just Vegas? There's Atlantic City, Biloxi, South Padre, Biloxi, Tunica, and the hundreds of Indian gaming houses scattered around the country. And don't forget the riverboats! Ah, most of those are owned by Vegas anyway.

AOL Time Warner has some sticker space on the Toyota. It's practically hemorhagging money right now, so they might not be able to afford a title sponsorship.
