Then it was pointed out to me in an email from Jenn Michaels, vice president of corporate relations for MGM Mirage, that two other MGM Mirage properties also have Spanish language sites -- Circus Circus and Treasure Island.

We know we have a lot of work to do on this front, and we look forward to getting it all done as we move forward."
Meanwhile, I also picked on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for failing in this regard.

Still, where's Harrah's, Wynn and especially the Venetian on all of this?
And on a more arcane point (to Western readers), one of my Chinese friends reminded me that the title of the first post on this matter was incorrect. "Bu Yao" means "don't want." I meant to say "don't have" which would've been "mei you." Dui buqi.
