Las Vegas Poker Room Review Flamingo Hotel and Casino
The Flamingo on the Las Vegas strip is the original place that started it all. Bugsy Siegel's dream was built during the mid-forties in the empty Nevada desert miles from the thriving downtown casino corridor and although Bugsy didn't survive to see his creation redefine the dusty Las Vegas town the Flamingo has been a landmark ever since.
Located at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard the resort stands atop some of the most valuable real estate in the world. Las Vegas visitors have been trying their luck at the Flamingo for more than six uninterrupted decades and counting.
Today's current version of the Harrah's Entertainment owned Flamingo Hotel & Casino Las Vegas offers 3565 newly redecorated guest rooms and suites. A full list of amenities complements each spacious room and includes all the comforts and convenience of home with modern entertainment centers and high speed Internet. Guest will enjoy the full service Spa and Fitness Center and the four swimming pools located in a plush 15-acre tropical setting. For the best room rates book your reservations online or call a reservations specialist toll free at 1.800.732.2111.
Second only to gaming, food is an important consideration when planning your Las Vegas stay and the Flamingo will not disappoint. Looking for a romantic evening that includes perfectly prepared aged beef, fresh seafood and gourmet accompaniments then the Steakhouse46 is the place. Rather have American Bistro then it's Voga. Enjoy Japanese exhibition cooking as knife-wielding chefs prepare your meal while you watch at Hamada of Japan.
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville serves steaks, fresh seafood, jerk BBQ and more in a Caribbean-themed setting overlooking the Las Vegas strip.
