Flamingo Las Vegas, Art Deco hotel and casino on Las Vegas Strip, Nevada, US
Description
The Flamingo Las Vegas is an Art Deco hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, United States. The complex includes a 28-story tower holding around 3,460 rooms and a gaming floor spanning roughly 6,700 square meters (72,000 square feet).
History
Bugsy Siegel began construction in 1945 and opened the casino on December 26, 1946, making it the oldest still operating resort on the Strip. The original three-story hotel structure from 1946 was torn down in 1993 to make room for modern facilities.
Culture
The name comes from the pink flamingos that still live in a tropical garden on the property today. Visitors can walk among palms and ponds to watch the birds up close, which feels unusual for a desert city.
Practical
Access to the complex is direct through a Las Vegas Monorail station that connects to other locations along the Strip. Multiple restaurants, performance spaces, and a large pool area spread across the property and remain open to guests.
Did you know?
Despite several renovations and expansions, the building still preserves Art Deco elements from its founding period in the architecture. The four-acre wildlife habitat with flamingos and other exotic animals sits right inside the casino complex and remains free to enter for everyone.
