The Flamingo Hotel is shown in this photo from 1947. Under "Bugsy" Siegel's authority the hotel's construction was disorganized and the grand opening was a flop, forcing the resort to close after less than a month of operation. Siegel's mismanagement of the Flamingo eventually cost him his life. (UNLV Special Collections)
