A visit to architect Paul Steelman’s website leads us to this image:
which seems to be a rendering of an all-new Flamingo. Looks spiffy.
I, for one, hope it materializes. The new Go Rooms are fantastic and I have always loved the pool there. The Strip needs to maintain some nostalgia and this is a good sign that Harrah’s isn’t gonna blow up the pink beast anytime soon.

I’m gonna miss those frozen margaritas!
Many people don’t know this, but the majority of the Strip, the airport and the monorail aren’t actually in the city of Las Vegas: They’re in an unincorporated area of the county called Paradise.
As of the 2000 census, there were 186,070 people living in Paradise, with a current estimation of 190,129 residents. For whatever reason, Clark County has resisted attempts to annex the Strip and the two other unincorporated areas of Winchester and Spring Valley.
The United States Post Office, however, assigns “Las Vegas, NV” to the entire area which makes it hard to figure out where you actually are but probably makes their job a lot easier.
It's Vegas baby! Here you'll find everything that's happening in the City of Sin; from the Strip to the slots, little known facts and big time acts. About Las Vegas is your one stop destination for all of your high-rolling curiosities. So pull up a seat, place your bets and relax...you only live once!
