The Flamingo
Among its most prominent hotels was the Flamingo – which was the house for the city’s biggest stars, including Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.
The iconic Flamingo hotel opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1946 and was the third resort to open on the Strip, and the only one from that period that still operates to this day. The hotel was opened and owned by the notorious mobster Bugsy Siegel, one of the city’s most iconic names.
