Flamingo Las Vegas Celebrates 75 Years • This Week in Gambling

In 1946, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and business partner Meyer Lansky famously opened the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel intending to bring Hollywood glam to the desert. They created the first resort-style hotel on the Strip and forever changed Las Vegas. Flock to Flamingo Las Vegas as the “Forever Fabulous” resort at the heart of the Strip celebrates its milestone 75th anniversary.

Now through the end of the year, guests can enjoy anniversary-themed offers at the resort, from a social media sweepstakes to hotel, spa and wedding packages. The Flamingo will also honor its dedicated Team Members with 75 Days of Appreciation. Additionally, invited VIP casino guests will attend an exclusive 75th anniversary dinner.

“With 75 years of rich history, including some of the biggest names in entertainment on the famed Strip, Flamingo Las Vegas has continued to evolve and thrive, though most of the resorts built around its era are long gone,” said Dan Walsh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Flamingo Las Vegas. “At the heart of the ongoing success of the resort are our dedicated Team Members, many of whom have called the Flamingo their home for over 30 years. We look forward to showing our gratitude and commemorating this milestone with our Team Members, guests, partners and community.”

Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Flamingo Las Vegas is a true desert oasis. The resort offers more than 3,500 guest rooms and suites, including the recently renovated Flamingo Rooms and Suites, as well as unique Bunk Bed Rooms and Suites. The refreshed rooms feature contemporary, retro-chic designs with vibrant hues of gold and bright pops of flamingo pink.

The historic hotel-casino is home to a sprawling 15-acre pool and wildlife habitat complete with waterfalls, mature island vegetation and tropical wildlife, distinctive pools including the adult GO Pool, and several outdoor wedding gardens.
