The pink neon that has been burned into our collective memories still streams through the hotel, especially when you check into the FAB rooms and retro-inspired GO rooms.
Bugsy Siegel opened the 105-room (it would be considered “boutique” today) Flamingo in 1946, and 7 decades later, despite the fact that the original bones are completely gone, he’d probably still recognize the place. Aside from the Tropicana, Flamingo is probably the most recognizable hotel name in Las Vegas, mainly because it’s the longest survivor on the Strip.
