Flamingo Silver Strikes & Tokens

One of the more historic hotel-casinos on the Strip, the Flamingo Las Vegas was built in the 1940’s as an alternative to the western-themed hotels downtown. With lush gardens, waterfalls, and spa, the Flamingo remains a luxurious oasis for visitors on a budget. The resort recently updated a series rooms in 2008, dubbed Go Rooms. The Go Rooms features oversized white vinyl headboards, stylish carpets, and sleek, modern furniture. Included in the resorts 15 acre pool area, is one of the Flamingo’s more unique features: African penguins, Chilean flamingos, Mandarin ducks and Koi fish frolicking in ponds and under three-story waterfalls. The Flamingo’s 77,000-square-foot casino offers more than 2,000 slots, 70 table games and a 100-seat race and sports book. Restaurants include a Japanese hibachi, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaretville and a posh new American eatery called Voga, along with others.
