LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, 2021-Oct-24 — /Travel PR News/ — The Board of Directors of Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today (Oct. 18, 2021) announced Sandra Douglass Morgan as its newest member.  Morgan, an attorney and former regulator, is currently the owner and manager of Douglass Morgan, LLC, a legal and consulting firm, and is the immediate past chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
