Flamingo Las Vegas is one of the oldest resorts still operating on the Las Vegas Strip, opened in 1946 by mobster Bugsy Siegel and named for its original pink-and-flamingo theme. Today it is a Caesars-owned hotel and casino at 3555 Las Vegas Blvd S, prized for its central Strip location between Bally’s and Caesars Palace, easy walking distance to the Bellagio fountains and the High Roller observation wheel.
Beyond the gaming floor of slots and table games, the standout attraction is the 15-acre Wildlife Habitat, a free outdoor sanctuary with Chilean flamingos, koi, turtles, and exotic birds set among waterfalls and lagoons. The resort’s Go Pool complex adds waterslides and an adults-only area, while the GO Rewards showroom hosts Legends in Concert tribute performances nightly.
The property is open around the clock, so there is no wrong time to stop by, though the Wildlife Habitat and pool areas keep their own daytime hours. Because it sits mid-Strip, it works well as a break point on a longer walking tour of Las Vegas Boulevard.
