The Flamingo. The property that changed everything.\nThe 3rd hotel/casino built on highway 91 introduced luxury to it. \xa0It\ncreated one of the cities most famous, all be it the most inaccurate, story of\na mobsters involvement in a casino and made Bugsy Segal the cities unofficial\nfather of the strip. \xa0\xa0\n\nThe Flamingo has grown and expanded to the point that\nits original exterior design is unrecognizable in its current incarnation. It's\nsaid that virtually nothing remains from the original construction however\nstories of found hidden underground tunnels and bullet proof rooms live on in\norder to keep the legend of Bugsy alive. \xa0While it is true that the\nFlamingo has fallen all the way to the low end of the market, it has outlived\nmany properties that came after it including icons like the Sands, the Dunes\n& the Desert Inn.\xa0\n\n\xa0Standing as proof that location, along with a well run\nproperty that adapts to its environment and evolves to cater to it, is truly\nhow you survive in the implosion era.\xa0\n\nWhen you consider the table limits, the low room rates\nand having one of the best pools in Vegas, the Flamingo is the best option in\nthe market for the thrifty visitor.
