With
its brilliant pink facade, the Flamingo Las Vegas -- home to
Vegas' Second City comedy club -- is as colorful as the history
behind it.
It
seems appropriate that the Flamingo Las Vegas is a direct
descendant of the hotel where modern Vegas began; even though
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel's original Flamingo is gone, the
hotel that bears the name is no less glamorous.
The
lush gardens behind the room towers seem removed from Sin City
entirely, with live African penguins, Chilean flamingos, Mandarin
ducks and Koi fish frolicking in ponds and under three-story
waterfalls. A number of tennis courts, swimming pools and a
world-class health spa make the Flamingo seem less a casino and
more of a full resort.
Entertainment
abounds at the Flamingo Las Vegas with a variety of shows
including Second City. Restaurants cater to tastes ranging from
Italian to Chinese, and the Paradise Garden Buffet serves up
delicious food in an idyllic setting. It goes without saying that
the casino is enormous, with 2,100 slot machines, 71 table games
and a giant race and sports book to reward the fortunate.
True
to its lineage, the Flamingo Las
Vegas is a quintessential Las Vegas experience.
