Why does Bellagio redirect to Bellagio (hotel and casino) - are we intending to turn Bellagio into a disambiguation page? Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 18:06, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lake size

According to Marnell Corrao Associates, the people who designed, and constructed the Bellagio state that the lake is eight acres. Stefan Winter 06:41, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

I moved this from Bellagio (hotel and casino) to Bellagio Las Vegas because "Bellagio Las Vegas" seems to be an official name, and we always prefer an official name over a disambiguated form. Nohat 07:36, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It seems to me that "Bellagio Las Vegas" is not an official name, just a marketing term that's sometimes used. In the discussion about where to put the Mirage article, I thought that the most reliable source for a genuine official name would be the corporation's SEC filings, which are minutely scrutinized by the company's lawyers. I checked the EDGAR database and found the most recent Form 10-K from MGM Mirage (view it here). In "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" it includes a list of the company's properties. (Search for "Bellagio" and it's the first hit.) In that listing, the place with the volcano is called "The Mirage" but the one with the lake is simply "Bellagio". Based on that, I think our article belongs at "Bellagio", but that's ambiguous, so we should disambiguate using the conventions established for other such articles, by moving it back to Bellagio (hotel and casino). That's also where all the links point now, anyway. That title is just a redirect now, so I don't know if this move would need an admin to handle it, but, whether it does or not, the first step is to see if there's consensu. Is this resolution acceptable to everyone? JamesMLane 04:57, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No one has voiced any objection, so I'll go ahead with this. JamesMLane 19:27, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name of Resort

I took out the word "the" preceding the resort's name in the main article. Their website and press releases consistently uses the form "Bellagio" as opposed to "The Bellagio", so we should probably use that as a standard.
