Flamingo Las Vegas - Hotel Reviews from across the web
No title - expert review You can't think Vegas without thinking Bugsy Siegel. And yes, this is his ill-fated foray into Vegas real estate. But though it's massive, pink, and smack dab in the middle of the Strip, it's bland. Look for better things to come - it's undergoing a makeover. In the mean-time, the pool is still one ... fodors.com
No title - expert review The Flamingo is the Strip's senior citizen, boasting a colorful history. It's changed a great deal since Bugsy Siegel opened his 105-room oasis in the middle of nowhere in 1946. It was so luxurious for its time that even the janitors wore tuxedos. (Hey, new Vegas That's class.) Jimmy Durante was the... frommers.com
No title - expert review The Flamingo's infamous Bugsy would never permit anyone to call him by his nickname to his face-and live. But he is long gone, so the cheerful deli that bears his colorfully crazy handle is probably safe from unexpected eruptions. Our appetites, on the other hand, were rubbed out by the super-huge d... gayot.com
No title - expert review The truth: Beldon Katleman's El Rancho Vegas was already a thriving casino before Flamingo partner Bugsy Siegel came to town.

good location - user review The best part about this hotel is the location, and you can sometimes find great deals. Pool is pretty good, too.
