Flamingo Las Vegas

What to expect:

In 1946, Bugsy Siegal overcame fellow mobsters' scorn for opening a hotel-casino in the desert, and every male employee at the Flamingo wore a tuxedo. The Mob, the glamour, and the original hotel are long gone. Only the Flamingo name (a nickname of Siegal's red-haired, long-legged girlfriend Virginia Hill) remains. Today, the Flamingo Las Vegas still appeals to non-stop partiers looking for a good time.

Insider tip:

Aside from Bugsy's Bar, little remains to remind guests of the Flamingo's origin as a Mob-operated resort for high rollers and Hollywood elite. Outside the entrance of a wedding chapel in the central garden, however, a plaque marks the site of the original hotel, razed in 1993. The plaque provides a witty, ironic description of Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo suite and his sensational murder.
