Flamingo
Book at Flamingo now!Flamingo DescriptionWith its brilliant pink and orange façade, the Flamingo is as colorful as the history behind it. It seems appropriate that the Flamingo is a direct descendant of the hotel where modern Las Vegas began. Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel's original Flamingo is gone (torn down in 1993), but the hotel that bears the name continues to live up to its name. The lush gardens behind the room towers seem removed from Sin City entirely, with live pink Chilean flamingos, ducks, swans, turtles and koi fish frolicking in ponds and under three-story waterfalls. A number of swimming pools -- including the stunning main pool with its seasonal water slide and the party-like Go Pool -- make the Flamingo seem less of a casino and more of a full-fledged resort. But the animals and water attractions aren't the only entertainment at the Flamingo -- plenty of humans worth checking out call the resort their home too. Comedian George Wallace and the women of "X Burlesque" offer some adult fun in the late evenings. There are shows to suit all ages as well, including the comedy magic of Nathan Burton in the afternoons and the song stylings of brother and sister duo Donny and Marie. Restaurants at the resort cater to tastes ranging from American and Italian to Japanese cuisines. The Paradise Garden Buffet serves up delicious food in an idyllic setting, looking right out at the picturesque wildlife habitat. At Hamada of Japan, you'll find everything from a California roll to the more traditional uni. And you can always grab a quick bite in the Burger Joint, the Tropical Breeze Cafe or the food court. To keep the party going, while your night away at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, a crazy Caribbean-themed entertainment complex with a menu of island favorites and a cast of strolling entertainers. There's even a Margaritaville Casino for Parrotheads to enjoy, complete with 22 tables, 220 slot machines and the 5 O'Clock Somewhere Bar. Gulp down a microbrew at Sin City Brewing Co. or pick up a cocktail at Bugsy's Bar. In early 2012, the Flamingo will welcome the rollicking Mexican restaurant and bar chain Carlos'n Charlie's. It goes without saying that the casino is enormous, with more than 1,600 slot machines, countless table games, a poker room and a giant race and sports book to reward the fortunate. Those looking to be pampered or get in a good workout will be impressed with the facilities at The Spa at the Flamingo. The resort has also transformed its standard rooms into more contemporary accommodations -- FAB rooms. Modern décor elements include splashes of signature Flamingo pink and warm, wood-toned furnishings. Guests will enjoy upgraded beds with ultra-soft pillow-top mattresses, plush linens and faux fur throws. FAB rooms even come equipped with 32-inch flat-screen plasma televisions. In order to keep up to pace with the changing face of Las Vegas, construction is currently underway in the alley behind the Flamingo on The LINQ project. This is a $550 million outdoor retail, dining and entertainment development that will be anchored by the world's tallest observation wheel. Completion is expected in 2013. True to its lineage, the Flamingo is -- and always will be -- a quintessential Las Vegas experience. Flamingo Details
