One of the first Strip casinos, the Flamingo Las Vegas is anything but old and outmoded. From its unmistakable pink flashing neon outside, to its Caribbean-style landscaping and Olympic-sized pools, to the flashy excitement inside in the casino, the Flamingo Las Vegas dazzles all who lay eyes on it. Try your luck at the variety of gaming options inside, including slots, table games including blackjack and roulette, and a hotel specialty - million-dollar keno.
The mystique of the Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas dates back to 1946 when Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel opened his "real class joint" seven miles south of downtown Las Vegas on Highway 91 (now known as the Strip). Las Vegas' famed Strip resort would eventually sit on the renowned "Four Corners," along with Caesars Palace, Bellagio and Bally's. While the trap-doors and underground tunnels Bugsy built for a quick escape are gone (they were filled in during the resort's expansion) what remains are 3,565 guest rooms, including 63 luxury suites and 144 mini suites overlooking lush Caribbean landscaping that surround Olympic-size pools, whirlpool spas and a zigzag waterslide, part of 15 acres of tropical gardens.Inside this outdoor habitat, you'll see a menagerie of wildlife, including African penguins, Chilean flamingos, black-necked swans, Gambel's quail, Japanese koi fish, grass carp, albino channel catfish, macaws and cockatoos that live on the islands and streams.
Seasonal visitors include Grebter grackle birds, house sparrows and mallard ducks. The Garden Chapel, The Spa at the Flamingo Las Vegas and The Flamingo Las Vegas Tennis Club also overlook this tropical landscape.Indoors, life is just as wild. Songbird Gladys Knight belts out classic tunes in the Flamingo Showroom. The Second City Comedy Troupe offers impromptu sketch comedy in the Second City Theater.
And there's nothing wilder than Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, where Parrotheads still searching for that lost shaker of salt comfort themselves with margaritas and the signature Cheeseburger in Paradise.

The Flamingo Las Vegas is a self-contained casino and resort with everything to offer its guests -- including 15 acres of a caribbean-style water playground. The hotel, set on the famous four corners at Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road combines hospitality with the glamour and excitement of Las Vegas.
