Hello @
162 etc.: What sources were you referring to
here? Most of the sources in the article just use "Oasis". I have come across variations here and there, like "Oasis Resort" and "Oasis Casino", but not specifically "Oasis Resort Casino". None of these variations seem to be in common usage.

That doesn't seem to be a common name either. Plus, casinos themselves are occasionally inconsistent with their own names. For example, the official website (seen
here and
here) calls it "Oasis Resort, Casino, Golf & Spa".

WP:NATURAL also says to not use obscure names. I'm not sure that any of the alternate names here rise above the level of obscurity. "Oasis Resort Hotel & Casino" is used in merely two sources that I know of (the one you mentioned and then
this one). I'm not aware of any problem with using
parenthetical disambiguation.

WP:NATURAL can be seen as preferable, but there's certainly nothing wrong with parenthetical disambiguation. I'll note that my pagemove was bold and undiscussed, and can be reverted if you object to it.

I did a more thorough analysis of the article's references and confirmed that these alternative names are only supported by a small number of sources (about one to three for each name). Meanwhile, "Oasis" on its own is mentioned in 18 sources (not counting others which alternate between "Oasis" and "Si Redd's Oasis"). I think a parenthetical name is best in this particular case, so I'll go ahead and restore it.
