Hi again rg76,

I located everything for you, except the communications and IT
contractor.  I suspect, as juggler suggested that this information is
either in-house or not readily reported for public scrunity.  This
time I gave you more text and direct links so you'll get an idea of
what's at the links and be able to go directly to important pages
without hunting around.

ENJOY!!

MGM Holdings Info

Bellagio is an elegant European-style luxury resort located on an
approximately 90-acre site with 1,450 feet of frontage at the center
of the Las Vegas Strip, which opened on October 15, 1998. Bellagio
features a wide variety of casual and gourmet restaurants in both
indoor and outdoor settings, upscale retail boutiques and extensive
meeting, convention and banquet space.


..."
The Bellagio Resort was built upon the former home of the Dunes Hotel
and Golf Course.  The Bellagio Resort & Casino cost $1.6 billion to
construct (the most expensive building in the world upon completion)
on 126 acres of land which was purchased for a bargain $70 million
(well below 10% of the land value only a year after opening).  The
hotel contains 3,000 guest suites.  The Bellagio is named after a
resort town on the shores of Lake Como in Northern Italy.  The resort
features a $40 million dancing fountain on a man made lake in front of
the hotel with 1,200 nozzles, highlighted by 4,500 colored lights
choreographed to shoot water up to 250 feet into the air..."

Some History:
http://www.a2zlasvegas.com/hotels/history/h-bellagio.html
..."On October 15, 1998, just before 11:00pm, the 36 story, 3,026
room, $1.6 billion Bellagio opened. The Bellagio reported to spend $88
million on its opening. The VIPs invited to the grand opening were
expected to donate to The Foundation Fighting Blindness $1,000 a
person or $3,500 a couple, which entitled them to an overnight stay at
Bellagio's suite rooms......The property contains an eight acre lake,
called Lake Como, filled with thousands of fountains which run the
length of Bellagio's grounds. Facing Las Vegas Boulevard, crowds
gather in front of the hotel to listen to amplified music and watch
the "dancing" fountains that are activated regularly throughout the
day and evening. The in-door garden sits on 12,500 square feet. The
resort replicates a Tuscan village which lines the water's edge.
Stretching across the ceiling of the lobby is the 70' x 30' Dale
Chihuly floral sculpture of hand-blown multicolored glass. The casino
is 156,000 square feet and holds 173 game tables and 2,700 slot
machines. Nearby, a botanical conservatory is home to exotic plants
and flowers.....Complementing the beauty of nature is a $285 million
dollar gallery featuring the works of the masters-original
paintings..."

objective: design "simply the world's finest hotel." A hotel that

resort. Bellagio set a new standard of luxury along the Las Vegas
Strip. It also paid record dividends. Like any new destination,
Bellagio attracted plenty of attention when it opened. Approximately
80,000 people visited..."
