●HISTORY OF THE FLAMINGO HILTON CASINO:

The resort was originally proposed by Billy Wilkerson, founder of The Hollywood Reporter, who purchased the land in 1945.
Early the following year, he partnered with a trio of mobsters to obtain financing.
Among his partners wasBenjamin \"Bugsy\" Siegel, who proceeded to take over the $1 million project, to Wilkerson\'s dismay. Construction costs rose under Siegel\'s management, with a final price of $6 million.

● The Flamingo\'s casino opened on December 26, 1946, followed by a three-story hotel on March 1, 1947.
It is the oldest continuously operating resort on the Strip, and was the third to open there.
Siegel was killed by an unknown shooter in June 1947, and numerous ownership changes would take place in the years to come.

● Hilton Hotels Corporationbought the resort in the early 1970s, and renamed it the Flamingo Hilton, a name it would retain until 2001. The first 28-story addition was completed in 1978, and others would follow over the next two decades, with the final one finished in 1995.

● The three-story hotel, the last remaining structure from the original Flamingo, was demolished in 1993, helping make way for the final high-rise addition.
A portion of this property was also redeveloped as a new 15-acre pool area, accompanied by an animal habitat which includes flamingos. The resort has hosted numerous entertainers, including an 11-year residency for musical duo Donnyand Marie Osmondthat concluded in 2019.
