Flamingo Hotel - Property informationWhat to expect: In 1946, when Bugsy Siegal overcame fellow mobsters' scorn for opening a hotel-casino in the desert, every male employee at the Flamingo wore a tuxedo. The Mob, the glamour, and the original hotel are long gone. Only the Flamingo name (a nickname of Siegal's red-haired, long-legged girlfriend Virginia Hill) remains. Today, the Flamingo appeals to non-stop partiers looking for a good time at a moderate price. - Amenity highlights: A 15-acre garden contains five pools, a children's pool, and two free-form spas. Open year-round is the scallop-edge Flamingo Pool, which is surrounded by huge flamingo statues on pedestals and for-rent cabanas furnished with telephone, television, and ceiling fan. A 150-foot water slide leads to three terraced pools connected by short water slides. A huge lagoon pool, featuring a swim-in grotto behind a triple waterfall, completes the complex.
- Insider tip: Aside from Bugsy's Bar, little remains to remind guests of the Flamingo's origin as a Mob-operated resort for high rollers and Hollywood elite. Outside the entrance of a wedding chapel in the central garden, however, a plaque marks the site of the original hotel, razed in 1993. The plaque provides a witty, ironic description of Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo suite and his sensational murder.
