- 3555 Las Vegas Blvd.
This is the former Las Vegas landmark, the casino that once belonged to the mafioso Bugsy Siegel and which was the first major strip casino in 1946. It has now been taken over by the Hilton Group, but in Las Vegas it is still just called the “Flamingo”. The pink neon tulip shines as always in the entrance area. After the last renovation, the hotel has around 3,600 spacious rooms. In the rear area of the hotel complex there are beautiful pool areas as well as live penguins, tropical fish and of course some flamingos. Only the rose garden is preserved from the hotel complex of the gang boss.
