The Flamingo. The property that changed everything.

The 3rd hotel/casino built on highway 91 introduced luxury to it.  Itcreated one of the cities most famous, all be it the most inaccurate, story ofa mobsters involvement in a casino and made Bugsy Segal the cities unofficialfather of the strip.   

The Flamingo has grown and expanded to the point that

its original exterior design is unrecognizable in its current incarnation. It'ssaid that virtually nothing remains from the original construction howeverstories of found hidden underground tunnels and bullet proof rooms live on inorder to keep the legend of Bugsy alive.  While it is true that theFlamingo has fallen all the way to the low end of the market, it has outlivedmany properties that came after it including icons like the Sands, the Dunes& the Desert Inn. 

 Standing as proof that location, along with a well run

property that adapts to its environment and evolves to cater to it, is trulyhow you survive in the implosion era. 

When you consider the table limits, the low room rates

and having one of the best pools in Vegas, the Flamingo is the best option inthe market for the thrifty visitor.
