A Denver-based Internet service provider said it acquired Access Nevada Inc. and Las Vegas Digital Internet, doubling its customer base.

ViaWest Internet Services Inc., which in June bought @wizard.com in Las Vegas, will add 9,700 customers with the three acquisitions. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Over the next three months, the three companies will be combined into one under the ViaWest name. Wendy St. Clair, a ViaWest spokeswoman, said no layoffs are anticipated.

In the fall, St. Clair said ViaWest will launch a new sales and marketing effort for its offices in Colorado, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, focused on delivering business-to-business Internet access, hosting and colocation services to local companies.
