Talk:Beau Rivage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beau Rivage is a famous Grand Hotel in Lausanne, Switzerland (also in Geneva). The Casino is named after it.

[edit] Specific needs?

I'm somewhat familiar with the Beau Rivage, and I could probably help with this article if I knew what specifically is wrong with it. It's a bit sparse, I'll admit, but in the aftermath of Huricane Katrina, the resort itself is a bit sparse, too.

I think more needs to be written about it separate from Katrina. I remember when it first opened, it was a rather big deal. Mike H (Talking is hot) 17:59, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

It would be nice to have external links confirming efforts to reopen the facility, too. Anything available via The Sun-Herald in Biloxi, perhaps? — ArkansasTraveler 20:39, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Here's a link to the mayor's reopening announcement -http://www.gulfcoastnews.com/GCNnewsCasinoReopenings.htm - Luke Cage 20:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] It's not a riverboat.

"The Beau Rivage is a riverboat casino"

It's not a riverboat. It isn't even in a river. The Beau Rivage is/was a massive hotel with a barge casino (pre Katrina mississippi law) in the Gulf of Mexico. I was on highway 90 about a week ago and it is still a mess. The only structures I saw left on hwy 90 were Beau Rivage, Casino Magic, Hard Rock, Grand Casino and very few houses near the beach. -Coked, 08:30, 18 April 2006

[edit] Positive Balance

I agree that the article was too heavy on Hurricane Katrina, so I emphasized "rebuilt/re-opened" in several places. I also added the names of the Beau Rivage restaurants. Wikipedia is intended to be neutral, and to not emphasize bad news over long-term facts.
