‘Murder at the Flamingo’: A Fun 1930s Whodunit. A book review of the Thomas Nelson fiction novel by Rachel McMillan. Text © Rissi JC

Built by gangster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel in 1946, the Flamingo was one of the first casinos in Vegas and ushered in the boom that would take place over the ensuing decades. Initially, the casino was a flop. The money put into it angered the likes of Meyer Lanskey, who no doubt ordered the murder of Seagel. The name was changed to this, the Flamingo Hilton in 1974 and changed again to the Flamingo Las Vegas in 1999 after the relationship with Hilton came to an end.

The oldest hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, the Flamingo both glamorizes and disavows its murdered figurehead, Bugsy Siegel.
