Flamingo Casino

Thousands of visitors to Las Vegas go there every year, and sometimes more often, purely for the sport. In many cases, the sport is casino gambling, betting on the chance to win big and change lives. For others, it's the fun of competing with the casino, and losing is almost as much fun as winning. The Flamingo Casino is one of the most famous and most popular places to engage in the sport of gambling.

It's huge. The Casino encompasses 77,000 square feet and holds approximately 2,000 slot machines along with a wide range of card games, craps, roulette, and even high-tech computerized games. In addition, there is a huge area set aside for race and sports book broadcasting on wide-screen television. The casino is open twenty-four hours a day, and hosts game tournaments and events year round.

Casino and More

While some members of the family are enjoying the casino, Flamingo Las Vegas also offers six pools set in a luxurious and fun Caribbean-like environment, perfect for those who are not casino afficionados. The Flamingo boasts world-class shopping venues, and for spouses and kids, there is a monorail that runs directly to downtown Vegas and area family attractions. Nearby are Lake Mead and other family retreats, and, just a little further, is the magnificent Grand Canyon.

The Flamingo Las Vegas Resort is famous for its "interesting" history as well as for its 3,500 luxury rooms and suites, many of which overlook the resort's animal habitat, filled with exotic creatures and glorious greenery. Professional entertainment abounds, with Gladys Knight in residence and comedy greats, such as George Wallace, on hand. This casino resort has something for everyone in the family and is close to dozens of other attractions.
