Missing resorts
I note the Imperial Palace is missing, but I'm not sure where it should go on the list. —Morven 23:43, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)

- Added Harrah's (more info soon)
- Did I miss it? Both Harrahs and Harrah's redirect to Harrah's Entertainment which is the company and not the hotel.Vegaswikian 00:12, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Edited some wording
- Edited resort names (not page titles) to better reflect common use names.
- Expanded footbridge section, although footbridge is a valid term, I like what the news-casters called them (although lengthy), Overhead Pedestrian Walkways .

- I added a few major hotels with mixed feelings. They have their own web pages and checkin so, they are really like a hotel.Vegaswikian 04:54, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Here is a list of resorts that I think need to have a page created.
Sahara Hotel→ Sahara (hotel and casino)²Riviera Hotel→ Riviera (hotel and casino)²- Harrah's Las Vegas
Imperial Palace Hotel→ Imperial Palace (hotel and casino)²- Flamingo Las Vegas
Barbary Coast Hotel→ Barbary Coast (hotel and casino)²When they are added these links will go from red to blue. If someone has a better name, adjust what I have suggested when you create the page.Vegaswikian 00:12, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Drop the use of "Las Vegas" as a suffix, unless it's part of the business name or referencing a single location that is also exists in another city?
- Good: Caesars Palace Las Vegas (Currently as Caesars Palace)
- Bad: Luxor Las Vegas
- Ugly:
Flamingo→ Flamingo Las Vegas but not Flamingo (hotel and casino) / Flamingo Timbuktu disambiguates from pink birds- "hotel" and/or "casino" only be applied without ( )'s if part of the business name? And use of "(hotel and/or casino)" only when a needed for disambiguation?
- Good: Rio (hotel and casino)
- Bad: The Mirage (hotel and casino)
- Ugly: See above
- Avoid use of "&", use "and" instead? & is not frequently used in the formal style of publishing.
Westward Ho
I removed the comments about the largest motel since everyone lists it as a hotel casino, even the Westward Ho on their site. I found no support for the claim of 1,000 rooms. I did find two different room counts 777 and 900. I used the 777 since it matches what Frommers lists, and they are usually correct.Vegaswikian 05:26, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hotel and Motel
I'm not argueing what a hotel or motel is, but the definitions:
- Motel n. An establishment that provides lodging for motorists in rooms usually having direct access to an open parking area.¹
- Hotel n. An establishment that provides lodging and usually meals and other services for travelers and other paying guests.¹
IMHO, the following concept is more accurate of a motel:
- Motel - A type of hotel in which parking is provided at or near the room and the room door
gives outopens onto the parking lot. (HomeBased Travelagent)Casino Royale
Is this really a major strip hotel? Should this be dropped from the table? Vegaswikian 23:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Duplicate Info?
Somebody started a Las Vegas Boulevard page. Looks pretty unnecessary to me. Thoughts? SpikeJones 16:31, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Based on looking at the edit history, it was mostly duplicate data. It is currently a redirect to the strip. I am planning on writing an article on this since it is not just the strip. It runs from Apex to south of Jean and there are some interesting points of interest in there. Vegas is odd in that we have fewer streets articles then several other major cities, so adding a few when we have the time does make sense. I'd also like to add one for Fremont street, don't know about any more at this point. Some streets like FSD might be mentioned on the person's page or in passing on some other article. Vegaswikian 23:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Looks like User:Brianckeegan has also created the Las Vegas Valley article which again has duplicate data. I thought we were trying to avoid duplicate articles and has the basic structure in place. I'll drop a note on his page. Vegaswikian 23:22, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Standardizing hotel/casino/resort naming convention
I'm the new wikipedian terrorizing the Vegas pages, I've lived in Green Valley since the early 90s. Sorry about the duplicates, was not aware of this discussion. However I would like to know more about the very "diverse" convention for naming hotel/casino/resorts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hotels_of_Las_Vegas
- See the missing resorts for some discussion on this. As I understand it, you should use the formal name as the article name unless it has, or will have, other articles that want the same name. Also remember the ~~~~ to sign entries. The above link could have been listed in a better wiki format as Category:Hotels of Las Vegas, yea took me a while to find that one. Vegaswikian 18:52, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I should have added you can take a look at Golden Nugget Companies to see how the three Golden Nugget casinos are named. If you want to change an article name you can by using the Move option, just enter the new name. You should also use the What links here in the toolbox to see what pages link to the old name and then edit all of these to correctly link to the new article name. It you think it may be a problem, use the articles discussion page to explain what you are planning. 19:03, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
July 8, 2005 data in History
This is not encylopedic history, but crystal ball. Not sure that it should be completly deleted or not. It probably should not be kept in history here, since it is not even on the strip. Do we need a place to track major projects? Even failed ones can be notable given the notable people behind them. Comments? Vegaswikian 06:18, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- All true. Lack of a better place. Move it to where you see fit. :) SpikeJones 14:13, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
Downtown Las Vegas redirects to Las Vegas Strip
Hey folks, I just noticed that Downtown Las Vegas is set up to redirect to this page. Those of us who live (or have lived) in LV will realize that they aren't the same location. In common usage, "downtown" Las Vegas refers to Fremont Blvd. west of Las Vegas Blvd. - a different location than the Las Vegas strip (generally Las Vegas Blvd. from about Fremont in the north to Sunset in the south).
The downtown hotels would include the Four Queens, Fitzgerald's, the Golden Nugget, Binion's Horseshoe, the Fremont, as well as the entire Fremont Street Experience. Strip hotels would include most of the newer ones (The Mirage, Luxor, Treasure Island, Paris, NYNY, Ballagio, etc.)
I think we should unred
