message: Should a new section about the hotels legacy be added to the article after the hotel closes? It has kind of a cult like status here in Las Vegas and those feelings are bound to continue after it closes. It has a very historic and significant place in Las Vegas history. --LasVegasGirl93 (talk) 23:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some difference of opinion on this. I have changed it back to “closed casino hotel” for the following reasons;
1. As of April 2024, the hotel is still standing and still exists. Demolition has not begun yet. 
2. The hotel is closed.
While the hotel and casino are defunct, that term is already used in the two categories the article has been categorized into. This is why as of today “closed casino hotel” is most accurate. 
As for when to use “was a casino hotel”, I feel that should only be used after the hotel is imploded OR after the interior of the property is completely gutted prior to the implosion. --LasVegasGirl93 (talk) 16:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The categories are all the way at the bottom of the page. It doesn't mean the lead can't or shouldn't repeat the descriptors. In fact it should when doing so is the most accurate lead sentence. "Closed" is less strong than "defunct". It was closed in 2020 for COVID-19; that's not the same as the current state, as operations like maintenance were kept up. I do however agree about the tense; since nothing major was done to the casino physically yet, we should keep the precedent of Candlestick Park and use the present tense and "defunct".--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:43, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: If this is what the prior precedent is on other Las Vegas hotel casinos which closed, then follow through with that precedent. My point is that it should not be too wordy. I can compromise on "defunct Casino Hotel" or "defunct Hotel Casino". However, there is no need to include "soon-to-be-demolished" in the header as it is already mentioned a few paragraphs down. Using the term "was" is not yet accurate as the property still exists. I live in the area and drive by often. If it looks like the interior has been gutted, then "was" may be the right word to use. Lets see what happens in the months ahead. --LasVegasGirl93 (talk) 16:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Are there any old photos from the hotels early days we can include in the beginning of the article? I was thinking it would be nice to include something from the hotels early glory days. --LasVegasGirl93 (talk) 17:12, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

message: In addition to the new ballpark, Bally’s is supposed to develop a new resort on the site known as Bally’s Las Vegas. I’m just wondering at what point everyone may think it may be necessary to establish a page for the new Bally’s Las Vegas. As of right now the proposal feels very fluid. That’s just my opinion however. I suppose that once we have renderings and specifics it might be a good idea. --LasVegasGirl93 (talk) 00:59, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
