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

Are all rooms in Bellagio in Las Vegas suites?
Q. are all rooms in Bellagio hotel in Las vegas suites? if not, do you know which hotels have rooms that are ALL suites?

A. Bellagio is not an all suites hotel, but like most hotel properties, they do have them available for extra $ over and above the regular rooms. The Rio hotel is, but it's not on the strip. The Venetian has large rooms that have three steps down into a large sitting area from the bedroom area. The Hotel at Mandalay Bay rooms are suites.
