Flamingo Wildlife Habitat

This guide opens with Bugsy Siegel, the mobster with Hollywood looks who took over this half-built casino project in 1946, blew the budget from one million to six million dollars, and lost money fast when the Flamingo opened the day after Christmas. Six months later he was shot dead in Beverly Hills, and his killer was never identified. Look toward the ponds behind the resort, close to where his original hotel once stood.
