It wasn't long before Siegel's dream was realized (although he died before the hotel blossomed to its full glory) and the nation's elite were flocking to the Flamingo. The hotel first featured 105 guest rooms, and a luxurious array of activities and services, including a casino, health club, gym, steam rooms, horse stable, swimming pool, tennis courts, handball courts, a 9-hole golf course and a trapshooting range. To set the tone, Siegel focused on first-class pampering he decked out every employee - from janitor to dealer - in tuxedos, spared no expense on furnishings and created the VIP section for special guests. When the $6-million Flamingo Hotel and Casino opened in 1946, Siegel billed it as the world's most luxurious and set out to attract the rich and famous.

Overall, the Flamingo is a people’s choice and a resort you should consider if budget is a driving factor, but you still want to be in the heart of the action.

Speaking of relaxing, the spa offers plenty of services and often offers discounts. The serenity of the Flamingo preserve is one of our favorite parts of the resorts, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustles and relax in nature. It sits across from some of the best restaurants in the world, so if you’re open to a little walking, you can still have a foodie experience. The high-end food options are lacking, but the location makes up for it. The Flamingo offers one the best pool complexes on the strip and includes the GO pool that’s 21+ with a rotating DJ and plenty of splashing.

If nostalgia isn’t your thing, the price point and location might help convince you. For many, this is the true Vegas experience, with a fun, lively atmosphere and just enough of old Vegas to feel nostalgic.

The Flamingo sits in the heart of Vegas, a bit out of place against the newest & most expensive hotels on the strip, but it still somehow feels right at home.
