[edit] Title of article
I moved this from Treasure Island (hotel and casino) to Treasure Island Hotel and Casino because the latter appears to be an official name, at least according to the website, and we always prefer an official name over a disambiguated form. Nohat 07:40, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- As with my comments at Talk:Bellagio Las Vegas, I don't think this is an official name. 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 just to the north of it is listed as 'Treasure Island ("TI")'. The situation here is complicated by the sort-of name change; the company uses "Treasure Island" in some instances but "TI" (or "ti") in others. Nevertheless, I don't see anything official about "Treasure Island Hotel and Casino". I'd say the official name is "Treasure Island", although at some point in the future it might become "TI". For the moment, we should restore the disambiguation form, "Treasure Island (hotel and casino)". JamesMLane 20:41, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
