@steve.wynn60: Steve Wynn decided to name the resort after the small village of Bellagio on Lake Como, Italy, which he visited in the 1990s. While on a boat ride, he and his friends loved the sound of the word. After looking it up in an Italian-English dictionary, he learned that “Bellagio” loosely translates to a place of “elegant relaxation,” inspiring the name for his lavish Las Vegas property. The property was initially planned to be called Beau Rivage (meaning “beautiful shore”). Wynn ended up reserving that name for his later resort in Biloxi, Mississippi. #stevewynn #business #lasvegas #entrepreneurship #bellagio
