What is the name of the opera song that used to be on a spaghetti commercial?
Q. If anyone can answer my vague question, you will have EARNED 10 points! There used to be a spaghetti noodle or sauce commercial (like Ragu or Preggo), and there was an Italian opera song playing in the background... I think it was just a man, but it might have been a man/woman duet. I also heard this song at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, NV... the fountains "dance" to the song. Any idea what it is??? I absolutely love the song.
A. I think I remember what you're talking about, and I'm trying to hear it in my head... I'm pretty sure the tenor singing that particular piece was Andrea Bocelli, and I want to say that the pasta was Barilla... I know, I know...Still haven't answered your question about what the aria in the commercial was... I've racked my brain, and that's about as much as I can narrow it down to... I looked on iTunes, and I couldn't find it -- there were plenty of others, but not that one. If my cds weren't in storage, I'd be able to pin it down for you... It's going to drive me nuts all night long. I'm positive that it was sung by Andrea Bocelli, though -- try looking through his discography...
I think the one you're talking about is more lyrical than "La Donna e Mobile" (although that would be a typical pasta-type song, as would have been "O Sole Mio" or "Libiamo!") It's definitely from one of the more infamous Italian operas, and I'm thinking its a Rossini or Verdi thing, but for some reason Bellini is sticking out...

Has anyone been to the Mirage Hotel In Vegas Lately?
Q. I heard it was really nice because they re-did it. Or should I go to the Bellagio Hotel?
A. The Mirage is beautiful. You will definitely get a lot for the money. Don't get me wrong, Bellagio is the ultimate but the Mirage have lots of discount promotions out there. Here are a few of their promo codes. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.html
Would you recommend the Bellagio Hotel over the others in Las Vegas?
Q. Planning a trip to Vegas with my wife, father, and his girlfriend. I'd like to hear about anyone's prior experiences (good or bad) with this hotel. Thanks!
A. I have stayed at several places, and all were very nice My favorite was the Bellagio, the service there is impeccable, I was treated like a king (which I am not) Rooms very spacious, clean and a great view of the strip.
The Bellagio is very large but I had a map and had no problems getting in and out, although I did spend the majority of my time there.
There is much to see at the Bellagio, the O show by Cirque Du Soleil, the Botanical Gardens, The Famous Fountains in Lake Bellagio and the Gallery of Fine art.
And the food, My favorite was Michael Mina (formerly Aqua) Same Chef/Owner, and for our farewell breakfast we spent several hours at the Buffet,
We did not do any shopping but a fair amount of browsing.
If you decide to stay there ask for a lake view room you will not be disappointed.
The only other hotel/casinos that are as nice or nicer is The Wynn and The Venetian.
Have Fun!
